 | 	- In the last year, I have gotten through most of the Big Burrito restaurant chain, and I have now conquered Soba too.  I came to the lounge area on Thursday night with a friend around 7:30 PM.  We got the two last seats together, other than two at the bar, which is pretty impressive for a Thursday night.
Foremost, of the Big Burrito group, Soba might have the best atmosphere.  The lounge was similar to the upscale ones in New York, Chicago, D.C., etc., and I love that.  The drinks were really reasonable ranging from about $9-$12, although I mostly drink in the aforementioned cities so maybe slightly higher than the Pittsburgh average.  I ordered two Cucumber Collins ($11) drinks, which contained effen cucumber vodka, nigori, lime, and agave nectar.  This drink was light and refreshing and definitely not weak.  The wait staff was super laid back and disorganized, which is typical for this chain, but I don't mind it in this atmosphere.
All in all, I would definitely come back here for a drink.  Dinner is very far out of my budget here, but I am sure it would be good too.
