Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in SOMA

It was our first time here. Love Turkish food and we were in town, gave it a try. Most of the stuff we ordered tonight was either completely cold or partially cold. For instance Turkish tea came to our table very cold. I had to ask to change it. The wood fire flower bread was looking good but was doughy! Patlican was completely cold. But, again maybe this is an appetizer that can be eaten warm and cold. Anchovy rice pilaf that came with Branzino was cold and so was the grilled sea beans. The sumac onion that came with shish kebab and looked so gold, was not eatable as it was very cold. Also, there was a slice of tomato with the shish kebab that had grilled marked but fridge temperature cold ☹️ We are not coming back.

Fantastic! Honestly, one of the best dining experience I've ever had. I wish I remembered the name of our waiter but he was the best, jovial, patient, not stuffy. We wanted a somewhat protracted dinner b/c we had a lot of catching up to do and he was great about letting the evening flow. Food was impeccable. Presentation was flawless. Filet perfectly seared. Coming back again for sure

I love that the evening simply unfolds for you with no decisions to be made. Each course was a surprise and delight. The chef is creative and really focuses on extracting the most flavor from each bite. The service is always excellent. It always amazes me that we can have this type of meal pre-ballet without feeling overly rushed.

Outstanding server. Very professional and courteous. Though it was a lunch booking, we were not rushed. He made sure we are served with drinks and have needed time to review the menu. Both tomatoes and mushroom soups were yummy. The salad portion was generous too.

It’s a really nice place to eat! The servers or waiters will come frequently like once every 5-10 minutes, if you haven’t ordered yet! The people there were really nice and gave me an 15% off for our next visit! Overall it’s a nice place to eat! :)
