    We ate here prior to seeing a show at the Golden Gate Theatre because it was close and the reviews looked pretty good as well as having a varied menu. Some of the food came out so fast that it was clear to us that they were just things being heated up-especially the meatballs. Also, some of us received our food right away and the rest of us did not get served until a good 15 or 20 minutes later. The Caesar salad was OK. The dressing was fine, but the lettuce was not fresh and had lots of brown spots. The drinks were really overpriced! Overall, it was convenient, but we would not return because the bill was very expensive and the food was just not very tasty or well prepared.

    Soma Restaurant and Bar was a great before theater dinner place. Calamari was just okay but both pasta dishes were very good. Drinks were reasonable. Service was excellent, waiters very nice.

    Terrible service! Didn’t feel welcome when we arrived despite having a reservation. After our food came, the waiter never came back to check on us. We had to ask 3 times for more water. Will not be going back.

    We had a fabulous time for a birthday party here. Last minute reservation, friends in from out of town, delicious food, great portion size, good wine, great service. We felt welcomed and taken care of all night long, and we never felt rushed. The Bruschetta, Burrata, and Calamari to start were perfect to share. Everyone, from the teens to the grandmas, were (audibly) enjoying their entrees and impressed with the meal. Top that with a surprise slice of birthday cake and a sing-along by the whole bar, and SOMA definitely exceeded our expectations. I was just looking for a casual spot to celebrate with old friends, but it turned out to be a memorable night had by all. Thank you, SOMA Restaurant and Bar; we will be back!
