This restaurant is very good. It's has a very nice atmosphere with an open concept kitchen. The sangria is very good. We had a few tapas plates as starters ajillio shrimp and calamari were delicious. Our main was the seafood paella. It was very tasty. We had a citrus cheesecake very light with good flavor. The service was very good and attentive. We will be back. read more

So far I cannot rate the food or drink. When we arrived the music was ear piercing to the point it sounded like you were in a night club in a closet. It was literally painfully loud. We left. But - I'm happy Somni is still open and thriving in its new location, as I loved the previous spot on 208. I noticed they don't have bar seats for sitting at the bar, darn. But it's so small so it makes sense to only have tables. Vibe was hoppin, staff was friendly, and tried to accommodate by having the DJ lower the music but no avail on the dj's end. I look forward to coming back for another go, next time bringing my ear plugs, lol. read more

Muchas bendiciones!! read more

The food was awesome, everything came out on time, and the staff was super friendly. I'd totally come back again.

Their new place is beautiful. We had delicious tapas on their Wednesday Tapas Specials for $3 $6 and $9. The potatoes and their butter milk chicken were our favorite. The drinks were great too. I had a coconut mojito and a passion fruit margarita, gotta say our coconut mojito was our favorite. Service was great too, our server Kelly was very attentive and easy going. You can tell the owners have put a lot of time and love to this place. Please come and show some support. Can't wait until they are start with private events. Highly recommended!!! read more

The food, the service, and the ambiance were all GREAT, PERFECT!! Myself and my husband both fell in love with this amazing restaurant! read more

We tried this restaurant and really wanted to give it a chance since the several restaurants that tried to make it at this location have closed. I love tapas and this was a great addition to the area. Unfortunately our experience was not that great. The server was pleasant and nice, however, being that we were seated outside and there were only a few customers inside, there was no wait staff to be found outside. I had to go inside twice to get someone. I don't know if this lovely server was the only working both inside and out. The ambience is nice and could have complemented the food. The food looks great but seemed to be missing the mark. The steak was pretty expensive considering it's not a steakhouse charging steak house prices. We truly tried to like the food but it just didn't hit the spot. I am glad that some reviewers do find this place great. I wish this restaurant the best being in that area, unfortunately we won't return. read more

I went out with my husband and friends for a cocktail and we decided to try our Somni. We sat at the bar and were greeted by the owner and the bartender, Amber. They both were super sweet and attentive.. but the star of the show was our drink The Gimme Agave was AMAZING, best cocktail I've had upstate. We loved the vibes of the place as well, really cool scene. I look forward to going back and trying the food! read more

Service was great but food was overpriced. Ambience nice but overhead lights were bright and it was cold and drafty so I kept a coat on. I didn't care for the steamed buns they tasted like vinegar but the patatas were tasty. Two Kobe sliders that were tiny 1-2" each for $23 with tax, credit card extra charge and tip. Expected regular size sliders or more than 2 for that price- the price of a meal not 2 bites. I was hungry after we split 3 tapas so we ordered lava cake which was good, better than the food. It's quite obnoxious to charge a credit card surcharge when your bill is $110 for 4 little snacks and 2 drinks. I wish we'd have gone to a diner. read more

Nice cozy ambiance! Love the open kitchen concept, friendly & pleasant dinner service. Small potions, but very tasty. Would like to return and try their brunch menu! read more

I found myself at Somni NY Tapas to meet up with some of my college friends. Monroe was a natural midpoint for us to meet since some of us live in the NYC area while others live in the Albany area. One of my friends chose this spot, and after looking over the menu I thought it was a great spot to relax and catch up. Somni is not surrounded by much, but they have a large space which includes ample parking and plenty of outdoor seating. There was inclement weather when we arrived, so we were seated inside where the spaciousness continued. As soon as you walk in you're greeted by a large bar area with the dining room to the left. The decor had a mostly dark color scheme with lots of woods accented with reds; they also had music playing as well as a DJ booth set up. The menu specializes in tapas, but we were there for brunch which offers a more traditional menu. Before food, we started with drinks; I had the red sangria which was pretty good. They offer a few drinks (including the sangria) as bottomless for 2 hours for $30 which wasn't a bad deal - but since I wasn't planning on having more than one round it was not worth it for me. Anyway, we started with a few shareables - namely the chips and guac and the spinach and cheese empanadas. The chips and guac were fine, though it looked like the chips were actually fried in house which was a nice touch. I thought the empanadas were quite good - they were stuffed with a generous helping of spinach and were really fresh - like this didn't seem like a frozen empanada so real kudos to them. The aioli that came on the side complemented the empanadas well. For my main I had the grilled chipotle chicken sandwich which came topped with mozzarella, a chipotle aioli, lettuce and tomato all on ciabatta bread. I didn't sense any heat on the sandwich, but I didn't mind because the flavors were great - all the components worked well together; the fries that came on the side were good as well. We also decided to order French Toast for the table; this was interesting as the bread was deep-fried before being drizzled in a caramel sauce and topped with fruit. That definitely make the dish interesting, though I'm not sure it added anything to it overall. We decided to have dessert and I went with the crispy Fuji apple; I felt the way this was described on the menu was a little misleading as I thought it was going to be something like a baked apple wrapped in dough but it's actually more of a turnover. Nevertheless, it was good - it was fried well but not overly greasy; it came with a scoop of butter pecan gelato which was a nice reprieve to the relative heaviness of the turnover. Service was great - everyone we interacted with was super friendly and made sure we were taken care of; they were really going above and beyond which I appreciated. Overall, I had a great time at Somni; this place is not in my backyard, but my friends and I left with such a positive experience that we have no qualms returning for our next meetup - perhaps for dinner to try out their tapas. read more

Fantastic food. We had the duck, the salmon, ahí tuna and hanger steak all cooked to perfection. Staff was friendly and professional. We will definitely return. read more

Tapas portion size is on the bite size mode, albeit tasty the portion size is not proportate to the orice. Ordered the 24 oz porterhouse. The steak was a decent quality however on the dry side for medium rare. The steak should be seasoned at room temperature just prior to cooking, steak was seasoned way too earlier as salt absorbs moistue. The experience was not a total bust but a juicer steak would have been preferable. Bartender accommodated exclusions and additions to their signature cocktails,wait staff was attentive. read more

Amazing food, amazing service! Loved all the choices and the size of portions. The corn puree side dish was my favorite! Will definitely be back read more

Very pleasant ambiance. The food and drinks = absolutely delicious! Our waitress was such a sweet and attentive girl. Wish i could remember her name. read more

The pros: - Lovely atmosphere, ambience, and decor. Sets the stage for a nice date night and they had a pretty good playlist. - Service: our server unfortunately I can't remember her name. She was awesome and took good care of us. Considering we came just in time for happy hour we decided to start with cocktails (Hooray!) I started with the "Gimme Agave" 2 words Very Strong. For the second round I ordered the "Rocks on the Rocks" that one actually tasted like a drink and not just like tequila (Casamigos) on the rocks . I loved it. Cons: Having said this, the rest of the meal was just ok. By this time I was feeling buzzed so I felt like just eating appetizers. I realize the appetizers resemble tapas style portions but I was expecting to get slightly bigger portions. -The ceviche mixto was ok, They actually could do without so much of that ok tasting cocktails sauce it would've tasted so much better if it wasn't drenched in it. -The tostone seemed a bit stale like it stood out then microwaved before serving. -The lamb meat was actually good, possibly a bit overcooked. I will say that I'll come back for happy hour! read more

Went for my daughters birthday. The waitress was wonderful and the drinks were excellent. Unfortunately, we ordered the paella and it was burnt . The rice was crispy and the seafood overcooked. We sent the entire untouched dish back . Very disappointed read more

We came in for happy hour on a Wednesday evening. We ordered several tapas and they were all amazing. Drinks were also delicious. Our server, Peter, was attentive and friendly. Bartender and hostess were also friendly. We liked being able to see the open kitchen as well. Nicely decorated and reasonable prices too. I'm really glad we gave Somni a try! You should too! read more

Surprisingly good bar and grill across the street of our hotel. Mediterranean food with a Latin twist is how I'd describe the food there. It's an interesting mix of Bar and Grill. I wouldn't describe it as "fine dining" but they are trying their best to make it a classy environment, although it's hard to escape the sports bar feel with all the TVs playing sports. I really enjoyed their empanadas as our appetizer. They were perfectly crispy without being oily. We also ordered their Ceviche Mixto which was good, but different from what I expected. Their homemade cocktail sauce reminded me too much of Chinese sweet and sour sauce. I would have preferred a more traditional ceviche with citrus and chilis. The highlight of my meal was the Moqueca Stew. I believe it's a Brazilian dish, but actually almost reminded me of a sweeter Thai coconut curry. Rich and full of seafood goodness, I would definitely recommend. My wife got the Branzino served with mash potatoes and garlic sautéed spinach. It was tasty but a bit on the oily and heavy side. Portions were great and pricing was reasonable. Service was also excellent and food came out quickly. I would definitely recommend if you're in town, especially if you are staying at the Sleep Inn across the street. read more

Somnia tapas is a great place to experience. New flavors. Have an assortment of small plates. Great for sharing great for tasting beautiful little restaurant in the heart of Monroe. read more

The service at Somni is impeccable. The staff is attentive without being intrusive, and their passion for the food and wine is infectious. They explain each course with enthusiasm, making you feel like a welcomed guest at the chef's table. Very good experience me and my family will definitely come back soon. Many Thanks to the manager Jessica Manny the bartender and the chef Luis. read more

Must go loveeee this place amazing food and splendid service from Kelley!!! the slow cooked short ribs are tasty!

this restaurant will not last. the waitress not only provided terrible service, but told a booked table to leave. she had overbooked the table and needed us to "get up". Tables don't sit flat on the floor and things scoot off the table. The waitress noted many items unavailable on a Friday night, not even milk on hand to make cappuccino resulting in lost sales. Telling customers with reservations to leave is not only unprofessional, it's wrong when the table was booked. waitress also noted items marked gluten free on menu are not necessar gluten free. i do not recommend it even free! read more

Sad to say, I will not come back. First we were a group of 9, we were okay with being outside but when I confirmed with the hostess she assured shade. Guess what, we were in the blazing hot sun and when asked to move to a shaded table they informed my mother on Mother's Day that was our designated spot. The manager said we can go inside but we really wanted to stay outside with the DJ who never came. My husband ordered a steak, 41$ with no sides and the waitress didn't even bother to mention that. When I approached the waitress about dessert I asked if we can sign happy birthday for my aunt she stated "we don't give free dessert " in which I told her I didn't ask her for a free dessert. The DJ finally came around 1pm with his elevator music. PS the table they didn't want us to sit in with shade was still empty when we left. Along with many other tables with shade. Would not recommend for anyone. read more

Poor menu. Empanadas are 2" literally and to add insult to the bite size pizza bites cause that's what they look like, they're $7 for two!! Not big enough to stuff them with what they claim to have inside. Some corn breaded calamari and aioli?? It's fried calamari with some ketchup/Mayo sauce. Call a spade a spade and too salty. I can't even remember the rest of the things in menu. Nothing exciting to eat. read more

Best part of this experience was the service, NOT the food. The paella was bland. Not sure if this is related to the customer base. The cocktails were $$$ however they deserve "FIVE STARS". Unpretentious best suits this experience. read more

The food was good but serving size was small. They charged for a refill of soda. My wife's poached pear desert was only half a pear. This place has decreased from original location. I will not go back!!! read more

We went last night to celebrate a birthday and it was 10/10 for everything. Food, drinks, atmosphere, and service. I recommend the calamari and the kobe sliders, they were delicious. I'll definitely be back! read more

Were patrons at the original location and skeptical of the move- when you walk in to the new place- WOW feels like you're in a different world- elegant and cozy with the ability to see the kitchen. Service was AMAZING, Food is still great- they stayed true to what was wonderful before- their tapas and drinks. Had oysters, potatoes, empanadas and sliders- fyi these are tapas, not full portions- excited about their pri fix menu and reserved a table for NYE- thank you Somni- love what you've done here read more

Decided to try this place for restaurant week. Staff was very friendly and the place is very welcoming. Music was very country and didnt fit the Spanish/Mediterranean vibes. We came before 6pm so were able to participate in the happy hour drinks and the margaritas were delicious. We also got chicken empanadas, guacamole, and short rib buns to start. Portions were very small but delicious. I got the airline chicken which had a perfect and delicious crust on it. I personally not a fan of the inner taste though. Bland and dry. The mashed potatoes tasted like butter but they paired wonderfully with the veggies. My fiancé got the salmon which looked and tasted delicious. Cooked perfectly with a wonderful sear. The sauce for it was also delicious. We split the poached pair for dessert and it was very good. Cold and sweet and stuffed with a pear gelato. thinking of coming back to try their bottomless brunch but otherwise i wouldnt return. read more

If you haven't eaten at Somni Tapas, you're truly missing out! The ambiance is so calming, beautiful music in the background and the service is on point. We ordered the empanadas which were full of meat and delicious. Then we tried the lobster roll and again very good. All if the food was excellent. The paella for two was amazing, hanger steak cooked to perfection and I had the shrimp mofongo was to die for. Will definitely go back and enjoy drinks, good food and the ambiance perfect ending to a work week! read more

The bad first. Parking is a problem. There's an apartment building next door that owns all the parking. In inclement weather, you could find yourself walking 50+ yards in rain or snow. The kitchen is open giving you access to seeing the preparation of food. But, if you're sitting close to the kitchen, the light is bright, in direct contrast to the warm, low light in the rest of the dining area. After speaking with the bartender, Manny-also, half of the ownership- I got the back story on the hurdles they had to overcome to open the restaurant. With that, its easy to overlook some of the minor esthetic issues. There are two floors, they are not ready to open, which leaves dining downstairs, and downstairs only has one unisex bathroom. Moving on to service. The head hostess/manager was selective as to who she was attentive to. That was slightly off putting, but not really an issue because, Francesca and Kiera, our waitresses, more than made up for it. Now, the good. Don't bother trying to decide what you want or aking the staff what they suggest. Put the menu on the table, close your eyes, and put your finger anywhere. Yeah, it's good. Oh, and that is good too. That, especially is really good. The steak doesn't need anything, but the salantro and parsley chimichurri is just mild enough to not be overbearing, but bold enough to announce its presence, respectfully. Now, I'm rethinking the parking situation because I would have walked a mile for this perfectly cooked steak. Paired with asparagus, that had just the right amount of crisp, light garlic, and zero asparagus-sy bitterness. And then there's the sweet corn puree...all this together, absolutely nothing was off balance. Just the right amount of flavors complementing each other. They could have sat us at a table made of milk crates and threw the food from the kitchen, and would still come back to this place. read more

Came here on a Wednesday night for first time. Wife ordered the duck breast and I had a burger. The duck breast was for my wife and she loved it. Wasn't a big portion - so she ended up a bit hungry still at the end. My dry aged burger was awesome - among the best that I have eaten. A bit pricey for the burger up in Orange County at $25. BUT- I would get this without any hesitation. Not only was it cooked exactly to my preferences (medium rare to rare) but it has such a deep flavor that I haven't had in a very long time (last time was at Daniel Boulud's cafe in NYC.). The person there mentioned that they hand mix the meats at the restaurant and I can taste there is something different about this. The service was very prompt and good. Glad to have different higher end options in lower Orange County read more

My brothers and husband and I ate here last night and it was great. We perfect cocktails made by Manny at the bar before we were seated at out table. Two beautiful martinis, one dirty and one gin, both yummy. Joslyn our server was informative and attentive. We ordered almost everything from the tapas menu and everything was delicious. Our favs were the steamed buns,duck cigars and tuna tacos. We also ordered from the starters menu. Again, everything was delicious. We can't wait to go back.Ceviche micro and Octopus Salad were great read more

Food was amazing, service was great and the ambiance was even better. Nice place for a great dinner or a drink.
