    Dirty Habit is a mainstay on the list of places to go to get late night food and drinks that’s vibey but also a chill time. The food is good, the drinks are good, and the milk bread is a must! The staff is friendly and easy going.

    Amazing food. Great venue and ambiance. Wish service was a little better but understandable being there close to closing time.

    We ordered ribeye and NY strip steaks - both outstanding. Sides were YUMMY. Cocktails were creative and STRONG. Friendly service. We went with reservations 5pm on a Friday and not too busy. We had our choice of seating. It was cold and rainy outside so we chose a huge booth ...how luxurious to take up so much space for just 2 people! Lovely ambience. I'm not a fan of SOMA so coming and going were not so pleasant but once inside all was very nice.

    We booked a reservation before 7 because there were no later reservations. The restaurant was nearly empty when we showed up. We asked to sit outside - most of the tables were labeled ‘Reserved’ but we’re never filled during our meal, and the heater next to us was broken. Service was very slow despite the number of guests, and the server seemed surprised when we asked to order food. The food and drinks were delicious, but could be better considering the price (be aware of the 5% markup fee). The location and ambience were good, but will likely not return as the experience felt unorganized.

    Great dinner experience downtown! Ask for an elevator keycard on your way to the 5th floor (not marked in the elevator). Unless raining, the outdoor seating has a nice lounge vibe, and heaters. Nice drinks and bar area. Food and service were great, with some accessible comfort foods that my kids recognized and loved, nice ambiance. This place deserves to do well!

    I think this a better place as a cocktail lounge vs a restaurant. The food was not exciting. The table next to us was dirty the whole entire we were there. The restaurant was nearly empty. I can see why it’s empty for a reason.

    Outside terrace seating is the best. It’s Restaurant Week and the set menu they offered was totally worth it. Drinks, appetizers, soup, salad came as soon as we ordered, but entrees were taking a long time. we had a movie to catch so I asked for entrees and desserts to be served together, and they obliged.

    I was very excited to try to this restaurant as it was listed in one of “must try” lists that I follow to try out new places in the city. The entire experience was underwhelming from the start. This place is in a hotel. We get there at our reservation time and there was nobody to greet us and the board said open seating. So, we ask the bartender and take a table on the patio. We waited for 45 mins for anyone to from service to come greet us although there was staff around. I finally went inside and asked to be served. We finally got our drinks after 1hr 15mins of being seated. The appetizer order took long as well so we ended up ordering all our food at once to get it sooner. I even contemplated leaving and eating elsewhere. Which is unfortunate given I reserved this weeks in advance to celebrate special day. The food was acceptable (not great), the service was very poor(maybe they are understaffed but that should be looked into), the ambiance was also average. It was definitely not a pleasant dining experience and makes me doubt why this was listed on any “must try” list. We will not be going back or recommending this place.

    Understaffed and took over 30 mins to get a drink. I would still go again. Hoping they hire because but for the service it was amazing.
