| - Haven't been to Soul in a while so decided to go recently. Previously have been 4-5 times, the food is going down hill IMHO.
If you are going to call yourself a "Gastrolounge" the gastro part better be good, consistent, and well prepared.
Was seated at the bar because there was a 30 min wait, fine.
Bartenders were good enough. Ordered pork belly tacos, and flat bread
While waiting for the order, I watch the saute guy eating and touching places he shouldn't while he's was cooking customer's food. Nice ! ... If you work in an open kitchen, you Must be more presentable and conscientious !
I notice the health dept. score, is a 93 ... are you kidding me? especially in a place that serves raw product.....the report is on line.
The food comes ...
The flat bread was soggy undercooked, too much topping, and had arugula on it that should not have been served.
Pork belly tacos were good, but nothing spectacular.
We were seated at the table, Collette did a great job ... she gets 4 stars.
Tuna skewer , 1 skewer was well cooked on all sides, rare in the middle, 1 was barely seared on 1 side, and completely raw. The tuna was seriously not fresh.
Beef skewer, not bad, but had to ask for s&p as there was absolutely no seasoning on the meat, the chimichurri was oily and bland.
Korean chicken wings, good flavor and well cooked, but didn't strike me as even slightly "Korean"
Soul is very popular but I think but I think the kitchen needs serious help.
Meh, I have experienced better....
