Very cool place-decent prices

by Dopsonwx

If you are older (35-40+) or wanting to take your family out to a nice quiet dinner, dont go here. More of a singles 20-somethings place. But if you're looking to go have some drinks and apps with some friends in a cool, outdoor, urban setting then this place is tough to beat. In terms of quality, the food is great, however some items are definitely better than others. As far as people on here saying their food isn't any good, they obviously haven't ever tried the Pasta Alfredeaux (not your normal alfredo), Tacos del Mar, Pizzas, Gumbo, or Buffalo Feathers Ceaser Salad. Good Brunch menu too on Sundays.

  • Pros: Great atmosphere, extensive wine/dink menu
  • Cons: usually a pretty loud place

Not enough restrooms

by krimsontide82

The staff is pretty rude and not accomodating. The bathrooms are always dirty too and small.

  • Pros: fun atomosphere
  • Cons: mediocre food and only one bathroom per sex

SoSo Dessert. Service is probably better inside.

by StorUrsa

I stopped by here for some dessert and coffee with friends. I had some dessert egg rolls and coffee. The egg rolls we're only memorable because of their uniqueness not taste. The reason I'm rating this restaurant below average is because the coffee came out room-temperature twice, to be fair we were on the patio maybe service is better inside.

  • Pros: Ambience, Uniqueness
  • Cons: Service, Value

Our Neighborhood hangout

by FoodieFusion

My friends and I are regulars here-the staff is great, and recognizes you after 1-2 visits. The food is fun and clever, affordable, and they have great bar specials. Sunday is 1/2 of bottles of wine, Tuesdays are 1/2 price well & call (don't hold me to this-I am writing this from memory because we go there so much). The patio is great, as are the 3 big booths that are to the left as you enter. Be sure to check out paintings and photography by local artists-most of the time they are for sale and really affordable.

A great place for hanging out, big groups, and summer dinners on their patio.

  • Pros: lots of parking (deck and behind SoHo), friendly staff, great patio, great wine list and bar specials
