   I love this place, the only 2 issues I have is that it’s very very expensive and with paying all that money, I felt that the bathrooms weren’t up to par. So because we have to pay all that money, I want a clean and well equipped bathroom!

   First, the hostess tried to seat my party of four next to the door leading to the outside seating. When we informed her that it was cold there, she stated she was hot, I guess meaning it was not cold. When we asked to be seated elsewhere, she stated the tables were reserved. Finally, the waitress found a table for us and then was told by the hostess that we only had one (1) hour for our reservation. The hostess killed our mood that Sunday morning. Nevertheless, the food was good and the waitress was accommodating. We only came to the restaurant to see violinist PHARNONE but was disappointed he didn’t show. Apparently, he was stuck in Pa. because of the snowstorm.

   My girlfriends and I had Sunday brunch at Soco. The food, Chelsea, our server, and the service were all on point. We were a little skeptical post-Covid, but were thoroughly satisfied. We all agreed that we will be making another reservation in the near future.

   I finally made it to Soco! Food was delicious. My drink was good. I wanted fish & grits but I don’t eat Catfish! If only there was an option of Whiting fish. Also please add Salmon Cakes to the Brunch entrees! I couldn’t get a red velvet waffle unless I ordered chicken & waffles which I don’t eat chicken so I was disappointed with that. Overall it was a good experience. I definitely recommend this restaurant to all that would like I nice soul food brunch in Brooklyn NY!

    I was disappointed that my dinner party was placed next to the very drafty and busy front door, even though we had a reservation and were on time. Staff tried to be helpful. Wanted the carafe of sangria for the table that was on the menu, but for some reason, they could not make it available, and we had to buy separate drinks. The food was good for the most part, but my friend's pork chops were overcooked. The best part was the music and the ambiance.

    Our reservation time was not honored. We were told to wait at a high top bar with young children. We were told the delay was due to a delay in the kitchen and we could not be seated until the kitchen issue was resolved. 30 minutes later we were finally seated and our waitress proceeds to tell us after she receives our order we cannot add to it! I’m my 40 year experience of restaurant dining, I have never heard that. The food was delicious but the experience was disappointing!

    This was one of the best dining experiences we have ever had! The meal was delicious and I can’t say enough amazing things about the staff. Mimi made great recommendations the entire evening and every staff member that came to the table was so kind. When we left every staff member said goodnight and hoped we had a great time. We were on our way to a friends birthday party and told everyone about Soco. We can’t wait to come back

    The food was terrible, drinks were not good. They did not have straws saying they are going green. I wanted club soda only to be told someone else bought the last bit of club soda they had. There were patrons next to us who did not eat their meal. At first, we thought it was just them because years ago I had good here and it was good but not anymore. I couldn't finish my meal either, it just wasn't tasty. Besides the food the bathrooms are in need of repairs, rusty sinks, no hand towels to dry your hands (oh they've gone green). Well besides that, it was 9PM on a Saturday night and the restaurant was empty, another clue pointing toward the food not being good.

    I love going to SoCo. Every time I return it’s like nostalgic, of real home cooked food very comforting but with class and sophistication for the presentation. It’s warming and welcoming coming here. Being greet when you came in was like coming to an old relatives house who you haven’t seen in years. We were seated by the very hospitable hostess and then greeted by our waitress sooner after. Their menu you short and sweet with a wide variety for every palate. We ordered apps; deviled eggs and smoked wings. I went with the BQE salmon burger which comes with a baked potato for my order and my partner with the chicken and waffles for his entree. Sealed the deal with a m&c for the table. The apps were gone as soon as they hit the table none other than delectable. The deviled eggs have a new touch with a crispy chicken skin on top and overloaded with mixed yolk filling. My BQE Salmon Burger was delicious! The taste of it was warm and buttery you can tell it was made to order and fresh. Soft and just right for the bun. The seasoning was all there if you wanted you could’ve ate the patty alone! However, it was made for the sandwich. Together on that bun, lettuce, tomatoes and that Zesty sauce it was phenomenal! I would definitely go for this option on the menu! The baked potato was lined with cheese and given sour cream on the side to light it up! This entree now is my favorite on the menu! I’ll be back to try so much more!

    Service was good; however those attending the tables where they're leaning and reaching over people should wear masks. I was a little uncomfortable with such close contact and them not being masked.

    The food was okay and the server we had was good but the drinks were HORRIBLE. I paid $22 dollars for a casamigos cocktail and didn’t taste no hint of casamigos. Plus when we first got there there was no host we waited for 5 mins at the host stand before anyone said anything to us but when a group of friends came in after us they were immediately greeted by the bartender. The bartender who completely ignored us. Also they were sat at a table before us and we was there first. Over all the experience was not good and it’s sad because SoCo use to be one of my favorite restaurants. Very disappointed.

    Food was delicious as always. The cocktail was perfectly made. My favorite are the F*Q wings and the salmon. The service of the wait staff was awesome. They were friendly and attentive. My only criticism is the small amount of string beans that were hidden under the salmon. Will definitely return. Soco is an absolute favorite.

    We arrived a little earlier than planned with one less person for our reservation. The hostess who greeted us wasn't mean or rude, just not the most welcoming. She did let us know there weren't any of our preferred tables available at that time except two tables that seemed like they would be either in the way of traffic back & forth or very much shoved in between other parties. The restaurant isn't huge but a decent enough size, but I suggest making reservations when going. The drinks Along with bar service, definitely a 10! We had the Soca Colada which & the Soca Island. I wanted to trv the Hibiscus Painkiller but he made another Soca colada by mistake. To his credit, he did ask the manager if he could charge it at a discounted rate, but the manager said no (You'd think a manager would be more concerned about making sure the customers, especially new ones are happy but I guess CS is different for everyone). I told him it was okay, not to worry about it but appreciated that he was ready to go the extra mile!! Food was an 7.5. We ordered the F- Que Wings for an appetizer, the Greek Salad, the Strawberry Shortcake French Toast & Turkey Bacon for me. All were good except the turkey bacon. It came out late & not really hot. My friend ordered the Creole Shrimp Gumbo the Blackened Salmon- there was a mix up with my friends food because she asked for the sweet mashed potatoes to be switched out for garlic mashed & they initially brought out the sweet mashed & it was corrected quickly but we were still charged for an extra garlic mash, and mac & cheese. She enjoyed everything but said the mac & cheese was just okay. I tried a little, and it didn't have much flavor. Safe to say that wouldn't be ordered again either if we returned. There wasn't anything we saw on the dessert menu that caught our attention, so we passed over on it.
