| - I'm claustrophobic and loud music bugs me. Yet I'm still willing to give Soul 5 stars because it's just that good.
I've been here several times and have not yet gotten past my menu indecisiveness. At other restaurants, I will narrow it down to 2, maybe 3 things, and then just go on gut instinct when the server arrives. However, at a recent dinner with a friend, we both found ourselves flipping pages back and forth, almost unable to make up our minds. (Indecisiveness loves company, it would seem.)
Though I tried to resist the temptation, I ended up going with my usual, the Mini Burgers. Holy pickle on a stick, that is a good burger. I also got a Spider Roll, and at the last minute, I threw on an order of eel Nigiri, just in case. My server double checked to make sure I was hungry enough for all that food, and indeed, I was.
All of the food was, as always, spectacular, but I have never seen such slices of eel in all my life. They were like salmon filets, they were so big, and the minuscule seaweed strip couldn't even hold them onto their tiny rice beds. As soon as they arrived I understood my servers skepticism. Still, I found room.
My friend enjoyed his falafel pita immensely, and we made good on the trio of spreads. His cupcake (the night's special, Kahlua cake with Bailey's icing and chocolate chips) was divine, though I was a little full to steal as much of it as I could have.
Oh how I wish the space were bigger, but Spring will soon be here and the patio will add more seating. And while loud DJ tunes may not be best for 2 friends who haven't talked in awhile, it did make it easier for us to talk about the people next to us without them getting suspicious. Yep, I'm sticking with my 5 stars, and I'll be back again, music and all.
