Everything I had here was so tasty. We had the nachos to start off with and they have their own cheese sauce and what was particularly good TO ME, was that they added pickled red onions. Before you say, "ew" give them a fair chance. Then my friends got the salmon salad and she was happy with it. Another friend got the apricot salmon and it was Amazing! And if you're into burgers, get one here.

Perfect for Brunch on the weekends, or lunch and dinner anytime! We've never had a bad meal or drink at SoHo. The staff are friendly and helpful, the owners make sure that you're comfortable and satisfied, and the chef is the absolute best. You won't regret choosing to eat here!

Nice place to eat, great drink, the sprout skillet, shrimp skewers, street tacos: delicious and good portion. The wings were delicious too.. great ambiance and the service was amazing. Our waitress was super friendly, patient and helpful. She did a great job.Definitely a place we want to visit again.

Update:Been back several times for lunch, it’s been pretty good.Waiter/bartender Daniel, did outstanding job and deserves praise.Nice, cute, clean, neighborhood bar and grill that has excellent food, not just bar food, but really good restaurant food, including lamb, steak, chicken and duck.I had a few minutes to spare, stopped in for a drink and appetizers.I ordered a shrimp skewer, it comes on a bed of cold saw, it was excellent and hit the spot of a light meal. The nice lady sitting next to me was quite loquacious, she was saying how good her pastrami cheeseburger was, she was quite happy about it, will have to try it next time.

What a fun place to meet with friends! Our Bunco group had not seen each other in 4 years due to Covid, and we finally did.Social house did not disappoint! The music was on spot, the drinks were great and the food and service was spot on.We ordered several different salads, a burger, nachos- everyone enjoyed their order. I had the crispy chicken Cobb salad ( subbed the blue cheese for feta and chose spicy ranch)- literally came home and told my husband it was probably the best salad I’ve ever had at a restaurant- well done!Also, the vanilla pineapple margarita was delicious, and white wine and sangria were also enjoyed by our group.We will be returning.
