Was Kevin K at SOBO a mag?
We had a fantastic lunch at Sobo. James, Lisa, and the entire staff were very welcoming. The food was exceptional. It's easy to see why they have so many positive reviews. View all feedback.
What Adélaïde Bazin dislikes about SOBO:
Seafood Chowder was disappointing. Mostly potatoes, other vegetables, then lastly, salmon. Should be renamed vegetable chowder if based on percentage of ingredients. The broth was good, but I was disappointed and shocked to see canola oil called for in their cookbook recipes. The information is out there folks: highly processed seed oils aka vegetable oils, aka PUFAs, are toxic. Use olive oil instead...please, update... View all feedback.
This restaurant is fantastic for lunch or dinner! We tried the Manila clams x 2, margherita pizza, and polenta fries as a starter. Everything was delicious. Just a heads up, the polenta fries are quite filling so one per person is plenty, especially if you are also ordering mains. Our clams had a little bit of sand in them, but that can happen sometimes. The bread served with the clams was fantastic, especially with the salt flakes on top. It was perfect for dipping in the clam broth. We ended our meal with a slice of key lime pie, which you absolutely must try!
This restaurant serves excellent food! Everything, from the falafels to the wraps to the seafood chowder, seems to be made from scratch. They also serve real whipped cream on their delicious key lime pie. The fish tacos were some of the best I've ever had. I will definitely return to this family-owned place that puts so much love into their food!
The salmon chowder was delicious with generous chunks of salmon and a large serving size. The Thai chicken, salad, and bread were a hit. The mussels were mediocre. The polenta fries were average.
The Buckwheat Noodle Salad is amazing! A little spicy but so so good! I will definitely be back.
We went back to SoBo for dinner (we went two years ago . I called in advance to make a reservation and spoke to the owner/chef to see if plates could be modified for vegans. She said for sure (they did this last time too . The menu changes. We had this beautiful dish minus the yogurt making it vegan. It was divine! Yam with charred wild rice, kale, chickpeas and slight spicy sauce. They even had a vegan cookie ; . Highly recommend.
