Food was good. Nothing special. Wait staff was excellent. I would definitely recommend. Would love to see a couple more vegan main options. There is no vegan dessert, hopefully in the near future. I would definitely come back. I think it is a but pricey for value.

I ordered the Coq Au Vin. It was a challenge to eat. Little chicken and lots of bones. It tasted good but didn’t have enough chicken. Was not worth $34. I should have had the burger.

Selected Soco kitchen + bar for a birthday dinner. Our server was fantastic and catered to our 83 yr old mother! All staff were lovely. Food was delicious, variety was great. Noise level increased during the evening due to patrons attending the Leafs game. Would highly recommend.

A great place to meet up in the south core for a business lunch because it’s not busy and you have good conversations. I ordered a hot dish for lunch and felt the temperature could be better. I ordered a curry and remembered thinking it was lukewarm at best.

Had the Brunch Burger which was quite tasty and filling. Our waiter was friendly but not very attentive. It took quite a while to get his attention and we felt left on our own. The space is not bad for a hotel restaurant. Some items are overpriced (e.g. $10 for orange juice?), but overall about what you'd pay anywhere in downtown Toronto.

Chicken breast in my Caesar salad could've been better. I was not a fan because it was so dry. However, the Margherita pizza and the "mac" and cheese is so so good. It's great they had a kids menu , my son was able to enjoy his pasta and mashed potatoes !

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.

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.

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.

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.
