The Scene – Occupying a small storefront space, this tiny no-frills oyster joint has just a handful of stainless-steel tables.

Ignored
by schroeg
Stopped in around 5PM - the place was not crowded at all. Completely ignored for 20 minutes so I left. Who needs this kind of nonsense at these prices?
- Pros: Avoid
- Cons: All

The place for seafood in SF
by ericgarr
After arriving in San Francisco for the first time I took the subway to 16th and Mission and went straight to this place for dinner. Very nice atmosphere and friendly staff made me feel welcome immediately. I chose the Cioppino which was one of the nights specials and couldn't have been happier with the food or the price (worth every penny). The cioppino was perfect and possibly the best I ever had (don't tell my wife). I highly recommend this place to anyone who appreciates good (sea)food in an honest welcoming atmosphere.
- Pros: Service, Food, Atmosphere
- Cons: I live on the east coast :(

Best little seafood joint
by jjlasne
One of the best little seafood places in San Francisco. Sit at the counter or sit at the tables, the food will not disappoint. Clam chowder, fresh fish, etc, all is excellent and reasonably priced.
