I really really wanted to fall in love with this place, maybe my expectations were too high. Everyone I spoke to raved about this place and Yelp gives it great reviews, but if I'm being completely honest, Soul you left me a tad disappointed. We will start with the bad and end with the good.
No reservations- always upsets me, really? why not? The hostess didn't offer to sit up outside ( I wasn't aware we could actually sit outside until I saw a few people grab a table)
We ordered 4 tapas. The eggplant parm skewers were 2/5. They tasted like over breaded, burnt to a crisp mozzarella sticks. Not a great way to start off our dinner. The pork belly tacos 3/5- they fell short, the pork was very dry and chewy, not a huge fan.
The dumpster downstairs was overflowing with trash and even when I tried not to focus on the awful smell it would creep up and smack you in the face ( Not really sure if it was Soul's dumpster... It could just be bad luck. I thought some of the pricing seemed pretty high for what you were getting. there is absolutely no way pork belly tacos (2) should be 12 dollars.
Moving on to the good... The waitress was friendly, quick and overall a good and nice waitress ( extra extra brownie points for trying to hard to light the birthday candle)
The dancing tuna roll was awesome- 5/5 stars AMAZING
The Goat cheese flat bread was rich, warm and with a perfect flaky crust... YUM 4/5
The chocolate chocolate cupcake was quite delish, not the best I have ever had, but not bad at all.
The view was so pretty and with the warm August breeze we never waned to leave. Soul, I will give you another shot and change up my ordering.
Thank you for a different dinning experience even if a few options fell short of expectations.
