What can you say when bad service and forgetful cuisine ruins an otherwise fun, energetic, yet cool patio scene? Good drinks! ...when you get them. Don't waste a dinner date here, unless you're eating around several cocktails and prepared to lounge - a while - between dishes.
SoT does offer you a vibrant, upscale, beach-style patio oasis - like Queen West's Ultra but without the 24/7 house reverberating through your skull. Though floods of larger parties keep the noise level very high here, even for the open outdoor setting.
This is a great place for cool drinks as the summer heat breaks. Enjoy the scene, some decent apps, then move on for dinner elsewhere if that's your priority for the night.
