    We went on New Year’s Day for lunch and it was busy bit not crowded. I had the All Day Omelet with a small salad and both were wonderful. The salad was fresh and the dressing was delicious and flavorful. Husband had the breakfast sandwich and he said it was excellent. We ordered a side of sourdough bread and it was very thin and tasted more like Texas Toast. The waitress forgot my drink but when a server came by to see if everything was ok, I told her about my drink, and they brought it out and comped it, which was nice but not necessary. Food was delivered quickly. Will definitely return.

    Excellent meal. Service was fine, I think the waitress was new or just hadn’t warmed up yet. I wish there had been an alternative hollandaise sauce since I can’t do chile spice or anything spicy, because I really wanted to try the eggs Benedict. Carrot cake was huge! Enough to take home half. Definitely will be back and am telling everyone about my great experience.

    We have become quite the fans of Soma. The menu is uncomplicated with a short list of very original and approachable dishes. The wine list is very much the same. Love the location and views from the rooftop. Service is consistent and excellent.

    The experience was wonderful, but it didn't start that way, and i nearly left before it started. When I first arrived, I was greeted by a less than friendly staff member. She acted like it was an inconvenience have to deal with me. I gave her my name and told her I had a reservation. She turned and said, "How about that high table in the bar?" . I politely told her I would like a standard table.... she very loudly huffed off and just left me awkwardly standing there. I was there long enough that I nearly walked back out. Eventually, a very friendly but professional lady approached me and asked if I had been helped. Without going into detail, I said, "Not really." She was wonderful. She guided me to a comfortable place to wait and shortly came to get me when a table was ready. She did a fantastic job of making me feel welcome and making sure things were good, even bringing a course or two herself. I wish I had gotten her name... she deserves recognition from higher management. My server was a delight. I believe she had already worked a long day and yet was happy to be there. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and interacted in a pleasant manner. I started with a cheese board. It was a great selection of items and well presented. The Pecan salad had great flavor and a generous serving size. I opted for the ribeye for a main course. It had great flavor and was cooked a perfect med/rare. I topped it off with the bread pudding. It was a great choice
