This visit wasn't quite as good as the first. The service wasn't quite as good. The food was quite good, but didn't blow us away like it did the first time. Like I said in my first review, I will be back, and hopefully it will change my mind for the better.

We had dinner to celebrate my brother’s birthday and from the minute we were met at the door to being seated at the table, the service was impeccable. The food was outstanding and the ambience was lovely. This restaurant is really a gem in the heart of Beechwood Village.

Charming waiter with a cute sense of humour at the Beechwood location. Our out-of-town folks enjoyed the restaurant on their last visit and asked to go again. Always good food. The mocktail was intriguing, tasted similar to the alcohol version.

The plantain and the pork tacos were delicious, as well our cocktails. I found my Chilean sea bass to be overcooked but, given the great flavour, finished it quite happily. The decor is a little cold.

Sunday brunch. The food & coffee was exceptional 👌 We immediately began discussing our next visit after leaving. Service was friendly & helpful, if a tad slow. No paper menus is good, but you really should tell older people when you don't have them - my poor mom waited around for 10-15mins before wondering aloud... Only real issue was that the tables were all still sticky with wine from the night before, and no one bothered to wipe them down at any point. Overall it would've been a 5-star experience, had the server (who was still very decent) been on the ball.

It is always a pleasure to have brunch at Socca. Pabellon Breakfast is my go to, however, all the dishes are delicious, which makes it hard to choose, but do not worry there is never a wrong choice at Socca.

Manager was quite unfriendly and dour. No friendly welcome. Tried to hurry us up to pay the bill soon after we had finished our meal! His excuse was that he had a larger group coming and would not have the time to attend to us. We indicated to him that we still wanted to stay and chat. Will definitely not return and do not recommend this restaurant to anybody.

Great menu, the food was creative, very well prepared and presented. The service was very good. The prices were simply too high for what you got . This is why I gave it four stars not five. You will really enjoy the food and service but the prices border on outrageous.

The food is creatively constructed, and a delight. The music selection makes people want to stick around for a while. Wife said the portions could be bigger, but for the location and ingredients, I'm okay with smaller serving sizes, as I'd like to see the place stick around for a while .

Had eaten at Socca Beechwood before but was not particularly impressed. This time however we anll thoroughly enjoyed our meal! Pisco Sours and Spanish rose were excellent. Olives, we all agreed, we’re the best we’ve ever had. Octopus and potatoes brava, well done. The deep fried sea bass was suberb. The beef Tacos and coconut cake were both good but next time will skip tacos and add a custard type dessert (if available), and the watercress salad. Great service and looking forward to a return visit.
