Was Anonym at SoCo a mag?
I love this place. Someone took me here for my birthday. Such a great choice. I had jerk chicken wings with a side of mac n cheese. The chicken was so tender n the mac was flavorful. You can taste the gouda ???? the Rum punch was raved for but if youare a strong drinker, it would be considered weak to you. Me on the other hand is a light drinker so it snuck up on me and I hadonly one drink and had a buzz. Atmosphere... View all feedback.

What SARAM dislikes about SoCo:
The service was great! The food was not good and we had to wait a long time for it. I had mentioned it was my husbands birthday in the reservation but unfortunately there was no effort on their part in making anything happen. We left disappointed and will not be returning. View all feedback.

The food was terrible, drinks were not good. They did not have straws saying they are going green. I wanted club soda only to be told someone else bought the last bit of club soda they had. There were patrons next to us who did not eat their meal. At first, we thought it was just them because years ago I had good here and it was good but not anymore. I couldn't finish my meal either, it just wasn't tasty. Besides the food the bathrooms are in need of repairs, rusty sinks, no hand towels to dry your hands (oh they've gone green). Well besides that, it was 9PM on a Saturday night and the restaurant was empty, another clue pointing toward the food not being good.

I arrived with my plus one at our scheduled time to be welcomed by NO host at their station. We waited 10min and were yet to be welcomed nor assisted. At that time, we asked the bartender if we were to just seat ourselves in which he replied no, and someone would come. After an additional 5min, I call the restaurant phone number (while still at the host station, with no host) and someone answered from inside the kitchen. I explained that I was waiting for 15min to be greeted and seated to no avail. She apologized and said someone would be with me shortly……. 2mins later the same bartender came and sat us……………. The wait time for the food (for many) was VERY long and our menu fave (mac and cheese) was overbaked and hard on the top. The menu prices are way too high, and reputation too good, for service like this.

Our waitress was very nice. The food, on the other hand, was average (respectfully). When making a reservation, I requested outdoor dining but that wasn't available (which was disappointing). I thought it was interesting that the gratuity was already built into the check without giving an option to tip the waiter more than the calculated amount. Decent experience and enjoyable vibe overall. It just doesnt move me to come back in the near future.

A wonderful experience. The food was outstanding and the code was perfect: casual setting and excellent food. I love this place!

The fish was delicious. I am not a grits person but the grits were actually good. The problem regarding this restaurant is the wait time to be served when in a big party. People came in after me and my friends and were out before. Also, the server was nice but messed up the requests on my order. I also didn't like the fact that substitutions on side orders from the prefix brunch menu is not authorized.

Great, attentive service but pretty forgettable food. The deviled eggs with crispy chicken skin sounded really good but the flavors weren't super well balanced. Too spicy with no real savory taste from the chicken skin. The steak was just fine a little tough but perfectly edible. Overall, the place was a little dark and loud.

The Sunday brunch was so really good. The food was amazing and everything really did taste amazing. The drinks were strong and delicious as well. There were a lot of people there at this time which prolonged our food more than the average time. We had a party of 6 people and had to ask for water a couple times instead of being given the water bottles for the entire table. There also weren 't able to accommodate a vegetarian who wanted to have red velvet waffles without thefried chicken. The dish wasn 't able to be separated, because it was a Soco Specialty . So be mindful of your dietary restrictions when coming here. Overall the experience and food was really good and the I would definitely go again.

I paid $78 for horrible take-out food. I inquired about their Prix Fixe menu, but was told it doesn 't exist. I requested a menu to take out. I was told they are too expensive to print and give away. I ordered vegetarian lasagna. The cheese was burned to a crisp on top. The gumbo was a disgrace. It contained three shrimp, no chicken, no andouile, no dirty rice (just plain rice in the same container--tacky). It lacked taste but was extremely hot and not in a good way. Itcontained copious amounts of corn. Why? Was this a filler to stretch this lackluster overpriced dish? I ordered the macaroni and cheese., Aunt Cruz ' macaroni and cheese to be exact. Horrible. Simply cooked noodles with cheese just thrownon top. It was extremely bland. So much title for a poorly prepared dish. I had a craving for okra and tomatoes--my main reason for (mistakenly) frequenting this establishment. The only favor profile of this undercooked dish was garlic. Thetomatoes were not even cut properly nor was the okra, both were uncooked. How disappointing. Lastly, I ordered the smoked vegetable flatbread. It was quite delicious. I traveled all the way from Bedford Stuyvesant and it was a wasted trip.I had to remind the staff to give me my receipt and my credit card. They were a tad chaotic, albeit very pleasant. I hate to give such nice people a bad review. Hopefully, it will help them step up to continue doing business in a bettermanner.

Looking forward to goingback in the near future. BTW: music was on point as well and they gave me a dessert(didn't get a chance to eat it ???? and sunghappy birthday to me. It was cute. Overall great experience.

The service at SoCo was excellent. I ordered only home fries, and they were tasty. However, the menu could use some improvement, as there aren’t many appealing food options. Additionally, the drink selection needs a complete overhaul.

I visited SoCo with my mom during the final hour of their Saturday brunch and had an amazing experience. The host welcomed us so warmly that my mom jokingly said it felt like we were old friends...

I visited SoCo for a birthday dinner. The restaurant has a spacious interior and a nice outdoor area. On the day we went, there was live music playing, which added to the great atmosphere.
