Looking for a place to eat uptown before a show that is fast and hast decent food? Well you may want to check out Soho Bistro.
This restaurant is located in the Hearst Tower but the entrance is on College Street across from the Holiday Inn and Merts.
The place has nice decor, the seating is a little uncomfortable though. Chairs are the right height but the tables seemed low.
The menu has plenty of selections for meat eaters and vegetarians. There are like 40 (exageration) types of soup and several appetizers. Portions are huge!
On a visit before a concert at Spirit Square, I had the Chicken with Garlic Sauce with brown rice. The presentation was outstanding with a carrot in ribbon form displayed on my plate for color. The chicken dish had peppers and other veggies is a light brown sauce. Unfortunately, this was supposed to be a spicy dish. Why is it so hard for Chinese restaurants to do spicy? On a scale of 1 to five on spice, this was about a 1/2. Flavor was ok, I just wanted heat!
Prices are great for what you get and the staff is super friendly here. Our waiter had to ask twice on what I ordered and still missed the brown rice. But he was great at refilling water glasses.
