    A friend of mine and I usually go out for Christmas lunch. We’ve tried a number of restaurants in the Bay Area and Scratch never disappoints. They fixed price menu has a lot of choices, and is delicious. Their cocktails and full wine list has something for everyone.. I should really make a point to come back on a non-holiday to see the regular menu.

    We were there on a night with street music on Murphy so more crowded than usual and maybe a bit understaffed. They created additional seating for us outside which was great. Food was ok and the menu was eclectic but sufficient to offer many choices with a large wine and beer selection. They looked to have a full bar inside but only served wine and beer which was fine for us. Service was a little slow but there were a couple of large parties that took up time. Overall we were happy with our experience.
