    Best ceviche and miso soup we've ever tasted. Kinda noisy but tolerable. Excellent service.

    I made lunch reservations after reading a review in the SF Chronicle. When we got there we were informed that there is no food available for lunch, only dinner. At lunch you can only get tea and coffee and other drinks. This was not made clear to us. All four of us has to look for another place to get food at lunch.

    Came here for a birthday drink with sister and brother in law. Was originally seated outside but the kind hostess remembered and did move us into a booth after a while! We loved the ambience, especially with the rich red booths and huge mural - drinks were top notch too!

    Exactly what the Soma after-work crowd needs. Elevated, intimate, not too loud to catch up with a friend but plenty of people and energy. Drinks were creative, staff was knowledgeable and efficient. Will definitely be back!

    Wow what a lovely experience, we went to have a celebrate my husband’s bday with a nightcap after dinner somewhere else. The service was top notch, the drinks were unique, special and well crafted. (Special mention to the Hojicha Affogato dessert that was one of the most delicious treat I’ve had in a while.) The decor, music and ambiance are amazing, is just a lovely addition to the area. Keep up the good work!
