| - I really love Soba!
Soba has been around forever...possibly 20 years? It's been one of my favorite dining spots in town for a long time. It's at least 15 yrs old bc I had my 21st birthday dinner there.
I recommend you make reservations before dining here, and you can do it electronically through their website, its really easy.
Before your dinner I urge you to have cocktails in their bar. Its a lovely space, in fact I've come here just for cocktails. The restaurant itself has a really cool vibe to it. Asian fusion meets dark wood? I dont know how to explain it, but its a beautiful restaurant perfect for a romantic dinner, dinner w/ girlfriends, or even a business meeting.
I like to sit out on the covered patio. In fact the last time I was there, it poured rain and it was actually kind of romantic and cool to hear the rain.
But anyway the food...the food... You're not going to leave stuffed but you will leave happy. I love thier crispy tofu appetizer and miss it when I haven't had it in awhile the way some people miss their ex's. I usually order the pad thai when here, it is delicious and balanced and not too salty. If they have scallops on the menu, get those. They're fantastic.
I dont like chocolate, ever, at all--but their chocolate maki dessert is to die for.
Soba is not cheap, but I do think it's completely reasonable. They've got a great wine list and the service is always great.
