    Me and my daughter went to Soco on its last day in business and had a delicious brunch. I had a Bloody Mary and she had a Virgin Mary, and we ordered three or four dishes that we shared. We had a lovely time and lamented the loss of this downtown classic. 🥺🥺🥺

    Bithja with Offline - What did we love about SoCo? Everything. The shrimp and Grits were expertly breaded and seasoned well. The star was the chicken and dumplings, velvety smooth and the cilantro was an unexpected hit. We ended with apple bread pudding from the Gods. A wonderful palate cleanser to end a fine meal. I'm sure Geri will land on her feet soon, as she is phenomenal. Hate that our first night was their last... we wish them continued success in future endeavors.

    I JUST discovered SOCO this year and am super sad to see it "has done its time". WOW, such a fantastic spot, staff and Chef. I hope they will stay in Orlando and I hope to continue to dine at the next restaurant Chef Craig has the pleasure of crafting his art.
