The food was amazing the portions were a little small but we ordered a lot so its okay and the service was excellent. Our server Stella was so friendly and sweet. Even though she looked very busy she always made time to check up on us and make sure we were happy with everything. Will definitely be back!

Great small plates that aren't that small. The mussels were outstanding! The only small downside is that it gets very busy so you may have to wait a bit between your starters and your main dishes. BTW there are two sister restaurants with very similar names but they are 10 blocks apart: Sojourn Restaurant and Sojourn Social Restaurant. Make sure you have directions to the right one.

The food was pretty good but the overall service and management was poor. The waitress took our order, and basically never checked back with us. My husband and I both ordered entreees and when they served him his meal, they did not have mine. They never returned for 20 minutes. We asked for the manager and was told there was none. We had to ask another waiter for help and eventually my order came out after my husband was completely done with his because it took soo very long.

We have eaten there many times in the past and had been generally satisfied. Last night’s experience was the opposite. The service was very slow, appetizers came out at different times, and one dinner was cancelled because it had yet to arrive before everyone else had finished their meals. Disappointing and I doubt we will go back again.

Our 1st time for brunch here though I've come often for dinner and drinks. Nice, creative menu with plenty of options for light or heartier meals. There was only 1 waitress for the entire restaurant and she was very inattentive, rushed, and unfriendly. The food was good though as is the ambiance, so we will be back.
