Soma Diner

Food is awesome but make a reservation. I just wish they had at least one more person to handle the front of the house. We had to wait a while before being seated and we got skipped by another group that came in. Also, the food is a little pricey. The chef does a really good job on the food but it comes out a bit slow out of the kitchen. Maybe he needs help too.

We live nearby and this has been an occasional choice for a nice meal out. From the beginning it has been hit and miss, some elements good, some not so good. One night we had the worst service I could ever imagine and not leave or take some drastic action. They told me they had just let a waiter go for misconduct. Another night most of the food was good but there were a couple of items were not. On Oct 10, 2012 we went there to celebrate our anniversary. The facility was nice and clean. The lovely facility is one of their strengths. The service was pretty good, everything was taken care of, but a tad below what I would expect at these prices, lacking finesse. The food was completely hit and miss. A curried soup with crab was served barely above room temperature. A calamari dish was interestingly prepared but the calamari was overcooked and rubbery. My fish and chips made with flounder was OUT OF THIS WORLD, perfect in every way. My partner's entree was not what it was supposed to be, they advertised flank streak and the first time served a very thin T Bone steak. It was replaced with a flank steak. The dessert of apple fritters was wonderful. At the prices they are charging they need to be consistent, every element in place every time. Unfortunately I don't see myself going back.
