Tasty or Not Tasty?
Very Very Very NOT Tasty. Food was bland and the flavours were dull, if any.
We ordered a cheese and meat plate, which was good, but the value was not there.
We ordered prosciutto, wild boar cured meat and brie, which cost $15. It was good, but anybody could have gone to a European deli and picked up the same items. We got two slices of Brie that were the size of those pink erasers from elementary school.
We ordered shrimp ceviche, which cost $10. This was the most disappointing dish of the three we ordered. The four pieces of shrimp had shriveled up into so small a piece, that you could not even taste it in your mouth. It came with a light salad in a wonton crisp, which also tasted like nothing. Lastly we ordered a $18 ahi tuna dish, which lacked in taste and freshness. At least the presentation was nice. It came with a crostini (toasted french bread?) drizzled with balsamic and olive oil and some greens and 3 olives. There were four thinly sliced pieces of ahi tuna....not impressed.
Ceaser was watered down and again not impressive.
I ordered two glasses of BC Gewurztraminer, which was the best thing I had there.
At the least they had an impressive wine collection.
Service Good or Service Bad?
Service Not So Good, but not that bad.
* food came very slowly ( I could see the agitation of all the customers in the restaurant, while they wait for their food)
* waiter & waitress not the most friendliest bunch, for a restaurant that no one knows about
Price:
Rip OFF.
Meat/Cheese Plate $15 (could have gone to a deli myself and spent $15 and got much more)
Shrimp Ceviche $10 (four shriveled up shrimp on a bed of crap)
Ahi Tuna Entree $18 and taste like bullocks!!
Interior:
Small but nice. Cozy. Nicely done.
Ever Going Back?
Hell NOOOOOOOOO. Need I say more?

total Bullock!!!
i totally agree with you. SALT is much better, cooler, and way more worth it!
I think it's time you went back to this place.
The menu's been changed and gone are those wierd esoteric french-inspired blahs. My husband had the saffron and sangiovese (?) braised lamb shank and i had chicken breast stuffed with walnuts, cranberries and goat cheese. Same great wine i remember from late July, but the very funny aussie sommelier i think is new.
They've done something different to the bar as well.. seems to be more booze. it's gorgeous.
anyway, give it another go!
I went to Soma for dinner with 3 friends in November '07. We all had appies and delicious meals. I agree .. the new menue is flavorful and the portions are generous. Fantastic wine list. The staff could be friendlier, but we all said we'd return.
Wow! I think I may give Soma another go, since bibbity.boppity.boo and anonymous have had good things.
Thanks for the info!
Greatly appreciated.
Interesting to know.
