| - Had plans for lunch last Sunday at TownHall. Arrived around noon only to find there was a "90 MINUTE WAIT" for two people (holy crap!). So if you want to go to TownHall do yourself a favor and make a reservation (don't be a moron like me).
I am typically pretty good at having a Plan B, but in this case - and on my wife's 40th birthday - I had nothing. Thank God for the Yelp app which led us to SOHO, a restaurant I have wanted to visit for quite some time now. We only had a 30 minute wait at SOHO which was manageable. We gave them our cell number and went to Westside Market until they called which we thought was awesome.
SOHO is very nice inside and the atmosphere is good. The interior is such that one wouldn't be out of place dressed up, or in jeans and a t-shirt. We happened to be very close to the waitress / waiter station and most of the wait staff, especially the ladies, seemed very pleasant. The wait staff were hipsterish which fits SOHO very well. The host at the front door puts off much more of a bouncer vibe than host. The volume is loud, but we still managed to converse without issue.
Brunch, I believe, is all that is offered on Sunday. For drinks, my wife orders a orange mimosa and thought it was decent. For our meal, I try the rosemary waffles and fried chicken breast and thigh. My wife orders the same, but substitutes fingerling potatoes for the waffles since she has a gluten sensitivity (the breading on the chicken is doable, an entire waffle is not). Complimentary biscuits are delivered to the table and are solid. Food comes out at about 35 minutes and the presentation is good. The chicken is VERY good - a slam dunk. Very flavorful, moist, and tender - everything you want chicken to be. I was not a fan of the waffles. I like waffles / syrup and rosemary, but these flavors were having a fistfight on my plate. My wife also enjoyed her chicken and the potatoes were good too, but the latter was completely lacking salt and it isn't available on the table. If salt isn't on the table, the kitchen should ensure it isn't overlooked prior to being served.
Our waiter wasn't real personable, but still did an ok job. The price was about average for this type of restaurant at approximately $40 without tip. We honestly really enjoyed our experience at SOHO. Couple of little missteps, but it didn't detract much from the delicious chicken. We plan to return for dinner in the future and expect good things.
