| - Wandering through Ohio City with a friend looking for brunch, we decided to stop in to Soho and see what it was about. We were seated quickly--just a hint of the excellent service we were provided!
I started with one of their drinks, the gentleman's something, and my friend had an apple soda. My drink was awesome and also deadly--I could taste the whiskey but the other ingredients had made it so sweet I forgot it was was whiskey! Oops...
When we ordered, I immediately gravitated towards the jalapeño poppers and the shrimp and grits. I ordered both, but when the waitress asked if I wanted the poppers with my biscuits (HOT BISCUITS???!!), I had to cut out the poppers.
The biscuits, by the way, were awesome. So fluffy and towering that I was able to split it into thirds! The garlic butter was good but the jam was EXCELLENT. I wish there had been more of it :(
My shrimp and grits were delicious. The shrimp was nicely grilled with a delicious sear, the asparagus still had some crunch, and the cheese was blended in a delicate way. I devoured it all! My friend had decided you can never have too many biscuits, so he ordered their biscuits with gravy. When it came out, there was so much gravy you almost couldn't see the biscuits! Suffice to say, he couldn't finish it and took the leftovers home :)
Overall, a lovely experience. Our plans suddenly changed and we had to cut our brunch 20 minutes short. Luckily, the wait staff had been so attentive that we didn't even have to flag someone down and they soon had a doggie bag and check at the table. Much appreciated.
I don't do brunch often, but I definitely want to come back for those jalapeño poppers and to try their normal menu!
