Good but not great. Table in a corner with open side onto the street. Service was good but not as prompt as it could have been.

We had a horrible experience. First I asked if we could be seated at a quieter table as we were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary which I indicated when I scheduled the reservation. I was immediately told that I could not be accommodated. Note that multiple tables away from the speakers playing very loud music remained empty throughout our meal. The waiter was rude and served our entrees while we were still eating appetizers. He never checked on us and water was never refilled. We have eaten numerous times at the midtown Pera which was excellent. This was a huge disappointment. Would never go back.

Fabulous weather Pera Soho is gorgeous and perfect for dining al fresco, though the inside of Pera is also beautiful. This place gives off vacation vibes and puts you immediately into relaxed mode. The food was delicious, we ordered many apps, and all were flavorful. The wait staff was super attentive. The price point is not bad at all. Will be back soon with friends.

We made the mistake of requesting an indoor table on a fine sunny afternoon, but even indoors it was airy and light - also very quiet. The value was excellent, the kitchen modified a few dishes with no issues, the food was yummy and carefully prepared, and the restaurant was most gracious about our change of plans - the time of our reservation and the number of guests. My only complaint was that our server missed a couple of the dishes that we ordered - but it was a busy, busy brunch service.

While it started with a little hiccup, I made a reservation for inside and they only had outside - I appreciated that the general manager gave us a round of drinks for the error. The outside table ended up being very nice and the food was tasty and well priced.

We were a group of 9 people ranging in age from 28 to 91, celebrating my daughter's graduation. Servers were all very accommodating and the food was very good. We tried a Turkish wine which we had never had before. Only issue was that the music was very loud and it was difficult to hear each other talking. We asked them to turn it down, which they did a little bit.

Food was great! A little expensive for what you’re getting and even though the whole restaurant was open they kept seating people at small tables right next to us. But overall it was chill and a the pita chips and hummus was very good

The ambience and staff were absolutely incredible and I had a great time with my partner. The place was divine. The food I. The other hand was incredibly underwhelming and very bland. It might have been due to the fact that we arrived within an hour if their kitchen closing but regardless the food was not very good. Absolutely amazing vibe though!

Great terrace, good food, courteous service. We waited a long time for the main course (it was Mothers' Day) but we only paid for appetizers and drinks, so they exceeded our expectations there. We will go back

Mother's Day Brunch. The outdoor patio/garden was very nice. Had to wait quite a while for our food but they were unusually busy. Will try again on a normal Sunday.

Outdoor area is lovely, some of the food was great (dates, drip camper, chicken entree) and some was just okay (ricotta gnocchi, which is actually more of a lasagna). Drinks were decent. Overall positive and worth slightly less inspiring foods/drinks for the outdoor patio vibes if it’s a really nice day.

Food was very good but the waitress was far from nice. We are aware that it is hard to get help so we didn't say anything but found her less than friendly or helpful. The food is very good. I had seen something for brunch that I wanted and then it wasn't on the menu! What I had was still different and delicious.

Great outdoor seating and ambiance. Food was good but entrees did not have much additional to the primary protein. Appetizers were creative and flavorful. Good selection of drinks although next if we want wine we will probably get a bottle as individual glasses are skimpy.

As a foreigner who smokes, I didn’t know that it wasn’t allowed to vape in the outdoor patio. The manager came to the table and was very rude about it, when she could have asked politely to put my vape away. This made the whole experience very awkward. If we wouldn’t have ordered we would have left right away.

The cocktails were pretty good. The fried calamari was good as well as the French fries. I was a little bit disappointed with our entrees. I ordered the chicken and the steak unfortunately both dishes came out warmer than room temperature. I ordered the steak cooked to a medium rare and it came out closer to medium well then medium rare. I didn’t say anything to the waiter because i was running on a tight schedule that afternoon and I didn’t have time to wait for another order. But I must say the espresso martini and margarita I ordered for our last drinks was really good.

Elegant and fun atmosphere - the patio is shaded and has lots of fans for hot days. The food is delicious, though it’s small portions and fairly expensive. Service is friendly and nice, if a little slow.

My partner and I had an excellent dinner last night at Pera Soho with very attentive service. My partner is gluten intolerant and vegan so we appreciated that the waiter was considerate of this and made good suggestions to him of what to order. Also we were getting a cold draft in the spot they originally sat us but graciously moved us to a better table as soon as we informed them.
