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.

The tapas were not typical of Spain and the blind tapas menu was not great value and selection. At 28$ per person, for a tapas of beets and same for patatras bravas is expensive ..the extrella cerveza was not very cold and a bit flat.

I had high expectations based on the reviews and the menu but was ultimately disappointed. My dining companion and I were excited to try the chef's selection, and thought it would be an opportunity for the kitchen to bring something interesting and unusual. Instead, we got 3 standard and uninteresting dishes--patatas bravas, watercress Caesar salad, and chicken tacos. The dishes were tasty, but it made us think that they just had a lot of these ingredients in the kitchen and thought it was a convenient way to move it out. To top it off, the total cost of the dishes if ordered à la carte was the same as the cost of the tasting menu, but with one fewer taco. We wished the kitchen had made more of an effort, or had instructed the server to ask questions about our tastes. Instead, this great opportunity to impress felt like an afterthought. It was our first time at the restaurant and I am not in a hurry to go back.

Beautifully designed restaurant. Loved the high ceiling. I ordered the trio pork tacos. Perfect amount. The taco shell was so delicate and delicious. I found the pork a bit bland, but, I guess with the slaw, and other dressings, you get the flavour element. I personally prefer getting the flavour from the meat. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the octopus. This was my first time visiting, definitely won’t be my last. Thank you!
