    This was my 2nd time visiting Somo. I will say I enjoyed myself better the first time. The first time I attended for brunch and this time I went for dinner. We had reservations for 6:30pm and were able to be seated right away. It was also restaurant week while we were there but we decided to just order from the regular menu as there were no appetizer options on the pre fixe menu that interested us. My food was ok. I give the restaurant 3 stars because we were placed all the way at the back of the restaurant like in front of a curtain leading to an employee area. There was another large group of black women sitting next to us all the way in the back as well. However, there were so many open tables towards the front. Previously I had reserved the booth outside but they didn't have any available this go around. I'm just hoping that the seating issue was a mishap. Also the drinks were terrible. My liquor nor my boyfriend's liquor tasted proper. Our cocktails tasted just like a juice concentrate. We then ordered additional Shot on the side and his Reposado was clear I ordered Hennessy and you could tell from the color and taste it was altered. Either none of the shots were what we ordered and was being told we received or the liquor is watered down.

    I was very pleased with my meal here and the overall vibe! Came here as there was some time to kill while awaiting an event. It was originally quiet and low key before ordering but by the time the appetizers came out the bar started to fill up and a dj was setting up. I was told by the server they were getting ready for their weekday dj set, on a Monday or Tuesday if I remember correctly! The food was delicious, the wings had gold in it and was part of their selling point. The froze was also delicious, would certainly patronize again if I was in the area!

    Came early sunday morning before the big sunday brunch rush. Service was good and quick. The food was pretty good. My eggs were a bit rubbery for my taste but the potatoes, sandwich and burrito were good. Definitely a good option for brunch in Manayunk. They also have some outdoor sidewalk seating. But we were in the main dining room, which was cute but there wasn't much of an ambiance, no music, very quiet which felt everyone could listen in to each other's conversations.

    Somo is always a vibe! Stopped in for a bite and a couple of drinks at the bar. The service was solid--just a little slow, but that's understandable since it was super busy and they seemed short-staffed. No complaints though. This spot never disappoints and will always be one of my go-to places when I'm looking for a last-minute bite or a chill hangout

    Somo is currently decorated for the holidays! Celebrated a friend's birthday for brunch and it was decent. Nothing over the top. Low key spot. Somo offers good eats for sure! I prefer this place over many locally brunch spots in the area. Even when short staffed take my word for it!!!! Our waitress was pleasant.

    Service was good although it wasn't too busy when we got there but did start to pick up after some time. Food was served promptly, hot and very tastie. TV screens in front of bar playing sports. Outdoor seating available if the weather if nice. Parking was the worse but luckily found something somewhat close.

    Enjoyed the brunch menu over the weekend. Our server was friendly and remedied an issue when our food came out incorrectly. The food was enjoyable but nothing stood out particularly. The ambience of the restaurant was cozy with mood lighting. Overall a good experience!

    I love going to Philly this place brunch is so good and when the weather is nice the outside seating is very aesthetically pleasing. I loved my food and really obsessed over these beignets

    Update. The business has changed a lot since my initial review. My BFF came to visit and begged me to change my mind about this place. Happy to say I was not disappointed at all. The food, the service, and the mimosa tower of course were all exceptional. We went back twice.

    This was my first time at Somo and I had a wonderful time. My frose drink was so good and it went well with my food. The scampi was so delicious and the shrimps were fresh. The flavor was amazing and you could just pick these ribs up with your fork like smooth butter. The service was good and the place was really clean inside and out.

    SOMO has been on my list forever, finally stopped in on a Saturday night. Bar seating was available immediately and drinks and food came out quickly. Such a cute little spot. The honey siracha wings were great but babyyyy, these disco fries stole the show. Me and my friend were both shocked at how much we liked them. That gravy slapped! And of course, the lychee martini did exactly what it needed to do.

    Had dinner here recently. The dining room is sparsely decorated but very comfortable. I would have liked a little less volume from the DJ in the bar area but it wasn't horrible. Our server was fast and friendly. I had the fried chicken sandwich. The chicken was crispy, hot and tender. The fries, however, were none of those things. They were limp, soggy, luke warm. My wife had the Salmon BALT (bacon, avocado, lettuce, tomato) She enjoyed it. I might have given this place a 4 star except the bill includes a 20% gratuity added in. There's a line for "additional tip". The tip amount isn't what bothers me as it's what I would have given. It's that I wasn't given an option. I decide on the tip, not you!

    FANTASTIC place. Totally recommend and would absolutely go back…read more Easy to make a reservation over the phone and our party of 5 was welcomed and brought to our table upstairs. The upstairs area has a chill vibe with some Mario-themed art as well as a TV. It seems that the kitchen is upstairs, so a lot of waiters were flying by out table to the staircase. Our waiter was pretty chill. Apparently an O's fan, he was excited to learn we're from Baltimore. Food was all fantastic. The style of fries isn't my preference, but they were decent. Other than that, I was blown away. Child #1 and Child #2 got some items from the Kids' menu - grilled cheese and cheeseburger. Bread and Butter appetizer. Is it expensive for just being bread and butter? Yes. Is it worth it? Also yes. The homemade bread is great, but combine it with honey butter with flaky salt, and it's incredible. Loads of reviews on Yelp talked about the sausage roll. GET IT. It's greasy and filling in all the right ways. Goes great with a beer. My wife got the burger and she found it to be very tasty. I got the Grilled Maitake Mushrooms dish and holy cow; it's perfect. Even if you're not a vegetarian (I'm not), you can appreciate this dish: crispy rice cake (not the dry kind from the store), tender baby bok choy, and of course the well-cooked mushrooms are tied together with black vinegar, garlic-whipped tofu (!), and a peanut sauce. A++ would absolutely get again. The food menu has some staples, but overall it does change nightly, so make sure you check it out before you come. Apparently, on Sundays, they do a different experimental flavor of wings. I was curious, but my stomach has only so much room, so I had to draw the line. There is a respectable drink menu. My wife got the blood orange mezcalita, which she liked, but thought the smoke flavor was more subtle than described. I got the Plum Fizz and would totally get it again. Pleasantly-sour with a nice fizz. It's a nice pub in a nice neighborhood of a major city - be prepared for prices to match. But it is absolutely worth it.

    One day I was craving a burger and decided to come to bad brother for the first time. I came on a…read moreMonday night not knowing there was a drinking event so it was pretty busy for a Monday. They were doing raffles if you ordered certain drafts but I decided to get a cocktail instead. The plum fizz was so delicious and refreshing. I liked that it wasn't too sweet or too strong (especially because it was a weekday) Anyways, because it was pretty busy I just sat myself at the bar. The bartenders were all so kind and nice and answered all of my questions. Apparently they do change some items on the menu and they do a martini and meatloaf Monday. I stuck with the burger and fries. When I tell you it was the best burger I've had in fairmount, I'm not exaggerating. I was expecting typical bar food but I was wrong. I will be back for sure and I'll be sure to tell all of my friends to go there as well. I've never had a meatloaf but just because the burger was so good I'll have to let my first one be at bad brother.

    I was able to go to Sabrina's Café during a trip to Pennsylvania recently. I was looking for a good…read morebrunch place around Villanova area and although this is outside the town, it was an easy commute. This was probably the best breakfast/brunch I've had in a very long time. The service was immaculate. They do not do reservations but if you go early enough, you can get a seat. My wife and I shared the full stack pancakes, and I had the breakfast burrito while she had the chicken waffles (plenty of leftovers). The star of the show were the pancakes. Now I've had a ton of pancakes in my day and make pancakes every single weekend but these were the best pancakes that I've ever had (on the record). I will be going back to this location every time I come back to Pennsylvania.

    Sabrina's has been on my brunch places to try for a long time. I chose the Wynnwood location…read morebecause it was one with a shopping center and easier to find a parking place. We went on a Monday around 12pm. It was busy, but we were seated right away. Our waiter (Zacharius) was very nice. He helped my daughter decided between sweet and savory. She decided on Chicken and Biscuits (savory). Little did we know, it was a new item on their menu. It took a little longer to prepare. She didn't mind the wait if it was going to be good. Unfortunately it wasn't as good as anticipated. She said it tasted ok but the chicken was overcooked and the gravy was too thick. She let them know, and they seemed glad for the advice. The waiter said he would let the chef know so he could improve it. I decided on the Brioche French toast w/ strawberries. A side of scrapple and coffee. The French toast just tasted like toasted brioche bread (unfortunately). The syrup did the heavy lifting along with the strawberries to make it good. My advice would be to dip it in the batter (if there was any) longer to give it more flavor. I will not get that again! The coffee was pretty good. I also ordered a side of scrapple. Not telling my age......but I've been around for a while! Never in my life have I ever seen scrapple stand up (see photo). It was hard! Crispy like a potato chip! I was surprised that they had the nerve to serve it to me! I did break a piece off, because I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Then I sent it back! I rarely send food back, but this was unexceptable. I must say they soon came back with some properly cooked scrapple. It tasted fine! Lastly, they have metal chairs. The chairs are very uncomfortable. Not sure if this is so you don't stay too long or not, but if that's the strategy....it works! I really don't like to give bad reviews. I try my best to find the positive if I can. Unfortunately this wasn't a very good first vist to Sabrina's for me, but they're staff was very nice and pleasant. The atmosphere and decor (except the hard chairs) was nice as well! That's why they get 2 stars. I will try another location sometime in the future and definitely order something else.
