Upon ordering, we wrote a request for a quiet spot but we got a reserve table just by a very noisy buffet party. Nobody read our note. When we mentioned it , we were moved one row ahead. The acoustic was so bad that we couldn't hear ourselves. We will not recommend this place for a business meeting.

Great location for dinner before seeing a game at the Rogers Centre or Scotiabank Arena or show at Roy Thompson Hall. Menu had good variety. Food was very tasty and service was just attentive enough without overdoing it. Price was reasonable given the location.

Please fix the taps in the washrooms. The amount of water that comes out isn't enough to wash a finger let alone scrub your hands. It happens at all sinks in both men's and women's restrooms. Patrons shouldn't have to sacrifice hygiene to save a few penny's of water.

Ovrerpriced and unseasoned food. The server was rude and blatantly demanded for more tips. Absurd. 100% won't recommend. The ambiance looks like a cheap food court. Food tastes like it too.

Our group had a mix of items and everyone loved their food. I shared a margarita pizza and pepperoni and they were both amazing, definitely would recommend. Unfortunately I did not choose a good drink, I had a Jake Tai and it was horrible. I don’t know what but an ingredient made the drink furry tasting. Besides my bad choices of drink everyone enjoyed theirs. And to finish the meal off we had “The Six” it was a nice dessert and a have to get.

I’m not sure what the issue was, but it took forever to get our food. The other table that ordered after us got their food first. The food was excellent but the timing of its arrival was a problem.

The food was good, the service was ok and the drinks were overpriced. But it was really the ambience that got me, it felt flat and boring with nothing special at all. I wouldn't go back unless someone else was paying.

A hundred dollar bill for 2, when all we ordered were 2 appies and 2 drinks (1 of them nonalcoholic). I was not happy with the overall service experience, so I had left a 15% tip (as courtesy), but the server decided I didn't even deserve a goodbye as I was heading out.

First time eating at Soco Kitchen + Bar I have to say compliments to the chef or chefs every thing we ordered was flavourful but jus one minor setback …..My friend order a ribeye or striploin with a Soco slaw and mash potato purée but it would have been nice if there was a choice to have gravy with your meal or at least offered to the customer…….Although the meal was delicious but it would have been nice to have some gravy on my steak and mash potato

They had a choice of pepperoni pizza with fennel seeds and honey or a margherita pizza. the pepperoni pizza was $1 more. We asked for the margherita pizza and asked to add pepperoni the manager said it was $7 extra. We explained the price doffernce on the menu is $1.00. She advised this way is $7. We then asked for the pepperoni pizza but remove the honey and fennel seeds and they said no. We also ordered wings. They were not tasty. Hefty price tag for mediocre food.

I would have given a higher service rating as it was good after we got a server. We were seated for over 15 minutes and nobody came over to our table to even offer drinks. I ended up going over to the bar and asking if we should be ordering from there because nobody has been around to look after us. The server Paige apologized, said she would send our server over and if she couldn’t find who it was, she would look after us herself. She did look after us herself and she did a fabulous job. Seemed to be confusion over whose table we were supposed to be. Seemed disorganized

Had a great visit - the new grilled cheese was great and our server Hailey was OUTSTANDING. The place was very busy (just before a Jay's game) and she did a great job of setting service-time expectations and was simply a delight to interact with.

Usually were not disappointed at Soco. I ordered the steamed muscles and was unpleasantly surprised! Half the muscles were closed. How could this dish have passed an inspection?! I would still recommend Soco however would definitely ask that all the muscles I'm served be consumable next time!

The food was really good! The atmosphere was nice as the weather for sitting outside was perfect! The service was a bit slow for a Sunday afternoon, the waitress seemed to have a delay in our order. Also, as I was running late I tried calling ahead to notify the hostess however, no one was answering the phones so I was worried I was going to lose my reservation. Overall, I still enjoyed the restaurant!
