Best Place in Soho

by TrishTheDish

I lived in Soho for years and this place is the best. I went a few months ago for my 40th Birthday and the manager, the chef and the entire staff treated my friends and I like we we're A-list celebs. Great cocktails, unbelievable raw bar, amazing sushi everything a girl could dream of. I was away all summer and when I went back in the chef not only remembered me but was generally mad that I hadn't come in to see him for 3 months. That's how personal the service is. You get the cool vibe, great people watching and great food you expect in Soho without the attitude and without the outrageous prices.

• Pros: Great food, great service, great vibe.

my experience was bad........B A D. I love lobster rolls so i was going around a few places in the city that supposedly serve good lobster rolls...anyway i call the bar and ask for help getting there at about 11:10AM and the lady on the phone asks me "where are you" i say, "one block away"..."ok so just head north two blocks", so i show up around 11:15 and she literally looks surprised to see me as if we werent just on the phone and i ask to order and she says were not gonna get set up now , but at 11:30 and i am mad cause im thiking, greatt i gotta go meet someone in half and hour and i came here for nothing, so i ask her, "then why didnt you tell me this when i was on the phone with you" and she goes "do i look like a psychic to you? no, so either you can wait or leave" ...well anyway i came back a week later , and finally tried the lobster roll, which i had to wait for FOR-EVER , and it definately wasnt worth the wait-it was average, nothing"wow" and the chips were so deep fried and saggy that they were just wet from that oil so no i dont recommend this place.

And the weird eyed receptionist at the front (same one from before) saw me come in the second time, around 12 and she was talking with some guys , saw me ,looked at me and started talking again so when i motioned myself to the bar to order, she ran over saying "umm excusee me can i help you" as if i was lost- hellooo wheres the customer service people want? and who does she think she is?

• Pros: decor,lobster roll
• Cons: unattentive and carefree staff

fantastic

by speakyourmind

come for the fish nothing else, added the rancheros as my wife was most upset and now eating fish on the back of them. every cloud and silver lining comes to mind.

perfect location hidden deep down away from the millions,

a real gem and a lifesaver from endless shopping.

prefer the bar than the restuarant and excellent staff always make you feel welcome

• Pros: too many to mention
• Cons: huevos rancheros bland
