    Excellent service, chill ambiance, delicious food. It was so good that we were there for over four hours, which then got expensive but it was worth it.

    Booked our table online and was only given the outdoor seating option, fine. Even though they had heaters, it was much cloder than anticipated. We had jackets and sweaters, so it wasn't too bad. We were celebrating a birthday and decided on bottle service. We got two bottles of Champagne and a bottle of Tequilla. They come with A LOT of things that use up table space. So just consider that if you're also getting food. The Japanese Dumplings and Truffle Fries were really good. The Trofie pasta dish was delicious! Our server, Ki, was great and made sure we always had what we needed. I would probably go back, but request inside, or patio during the warmer months.

    Ambiance was great. Service was average the bartenders look like they were miserable and never smiled music DJ amazing dinner, so so ordered a steak, medium rare, and it was really well cooked and chewy. It’s good for drinks and lounge and the bartenders could improve their service.

    We had an excellent experience at Somewhere Dine Bar. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was expertly prepared and delicious. The music played created a great ambiance. We had a very good evening out. I highly recommend this establishment for dining or for the bar.

    The food was good…for the 90s. It was a trip back in time with waitresses in tight low cut tops and short skirts, and the menu unimaginative. If they can bring the restaurant into modern times it would be better.

    The food was ok but the waiters didn’t know anything about the food on the menu, and the place was extremely loud. The wait staff were giving their friends seating preferences and the place was just out of control. Won’t be going back.

    The staff is nice, and food quality and portion sizes is excellent. Congrats to the kitchen for a great team, and good menu. The music from the bar next door is just way too loud. Somewhere Bar had their music too low and distracting and should just be shut off as the two together gives off an awkward vibe, and the staff kept apologizing. Don’t apologize, just turn off your music and go with it. The customers were having fun, enjoying their drinks and food with the music next door. But the more the staff apologized the more people wanted to leave. Just a suggestion.

    Service and food was wonderful, but it is unfortunately located close to a very loud club (which is out of their control). I would suggest the restaurant at least turn off their own music so there is not too much noise overall.

    The food vmwas very good, although many menu items unavailable. Our service was exceptional. I wish I had gotten her name, because she was great! The space was a little too dark for my liking and the music way too loud- we were shouting to communicate. But overall it was a good experience. I would go back.

    First of all I would like to say that the service was incredible at somewhere. They really made us feel at home and we’re very attentive. It was pretty cold but they brought several heaters so we could enjoy the patio ambience which was amazing. Super Instagramy and really fun to enjoy. Food however was a real let down. While the food was very tasty I would say that it was less than advertised. We had two orders of the trifoe pasta and between the two dishes had a total of 5 shrimp (1 in 1, 4 in the other) as well as 1 cherry tomato between the two dishes. We also had duck boa buns and lamb which were both very good (no complaints)! Overall we really enjoyed our experience but would probably only go back for drinks (which were incredible). The aromatherapy was delicious and I’ll drink anything with empress in it.

    Food and drinks are great, little pricey but value is there. Not rating 5 stars as I asked for some parmesan to go with my pasta and they wanted to charge me $3 to have parmesan on my pasta after the pasta itself already cost $26 and a cocktail $18.

    Overall good. Disappointed at the downgraded menu without a heads up as most of the items my date was interested in were not available. Bunch of the clase azul bottles with the flowers on display were knocked over which isn’t a deal breaker but does ruin the ambience. Some of the ceiling lights weren’t working either which also sucked. Overall would go again. Hopefully the full menu is available.
