    Grilled "Kofte" Meatballs
    Elizabeth G.

    Came here to catch up with an old friend and we stayed for hours picking at delicious apps and dips and sitting in the most adorable outdoor space! It was comfortable, cozy and wonderful. The dips were great and perfect portions. Would definitely come back!

    The outdoor seating is beautiful and perfect for a brunch outing. There wasn't any particular drink menu but when we asked about it, they made us fresh mint tea. Food and service were great.

    Most disgusting food I've ever had in my entire life. Service sucks took 20 minutes for a soda to get back to me, waiter never comes back to ur table. Burger was supposed to be MR cook basically well and tasted like it was boiled. Fries were full of salt and oregano. Worst experience ever + worst burger ever. I would rate a 0 if I could.

    Roasted baby eggplant and scallops
    Jennifer C.

    Good flavors but expensive for what it is. We had reservations for 2 people at 6 on a Wednesday but we probably didn't need them. We sat on the outside patio that is covered. Started with the scarlet on Thompson drink which was a more aperol forward cocktail and tasty. We got the scallops and roasted baby eggplant to share. For the price the dishes were pretty small. You definitely won't leave feeling stuffed. That being said, the flavors in the scallop dish were sooo good. The pea puree on the bottom with the crunchy mushrooms was delicious. Could have used more of a hard sear on the scallops but they were well cooked. Baby eggplant had a good mix of textures and flavors and the spice on the eggplant was really good. Service was a little spotty and slow, especially for how empty the place was. Not sure I'd come back but was fine trying it. Seems like the have a good happy hour with a lot of their mezze dishes on the menu so maybe I'd try that.

    Shishito peppers (sautéed)
    Jessica Y.

    This restaurant is very charming with a cute outdoor seating area and large indoor seating. All of the staff from the hostess to the waiter were extremely friendly and helpful. We started with the shishito peppers which is listed as a side dish but we got as a starter. My friend has a gluten allergy and they made us aware that there was some breading and they were able to sauté the peppers instead which was still delicious. The hostess had recommended the burratta bruschetta, phyllo rolls, and calamari but unfortunately we did not get them due to the gluten allergy. For entrees, I had the chicken shashlik and my friend had the watermelon and heirloom tomato salad with chicken. My meal was very good but my friends salad looked so delicious I was a little jealous! All in all, this place is great and I look forward to returning to try more items!

    Catching up with a friend at Pera SoHo.

    A real hidden gem. Step off the curb and into a retreat. Filled with the sounds you'd expect at an upscale party yet comfortable having a conversation without yelling. Service was excellent the food and drinks were even better. Can't wait to check out their midtown location. I highly recommend.

    Roasted Baby Eggplant

    We were here for a bday and the place was great and apps were really good. The main vegetarian course on the pre fixe menu wasn't super filling though. Great place to host groups, the staff was friendly and helpful.

    Chicken "Shashlik"

    The food was delicious from the appetizers, main, and desert!! The ambience is calm with music low enough to hear the person across or next to you while still providing sound. The service was so welcoming and wonderful; they made sure you are always helped. It's a must try and a will come back kind of place :)

    We've been visiting Pera Soho for about 10 years now and besides the food ambiance so glad the food has not changed. The country salad is my favorite along with the fries and Portuguese fried calamari which I only have from here not being a seafood consumer. On occasion, weekend brunch gets crowded but it's nice you can come have such a good meal in a nice setting without the loud crowd. My only message is, please keep the good taste & quality food rolling! While NYC has many spots, it's hard to find a place you love that is consistent.

    The environment is very good. The food is western style. A lot of companies choose this restaurant to have a Christmas dinner. But the dessert is not that good

    Very good food and prompt service. 6 orders of food and drink and everyone was happy with the quality of food. We are Chicago based and know good food. This place rocks.

Think vintage wallpaper, little knick-knacks, and warm lighting. It's got character. I ordered the market salad with mixed greens, honeycrisp apples, goat cheese, candied pecans, and sherry vinaigrette. It was a hearty portion - super fresh and flavorful, and honestly more than I could finish (not a complaint!). I also ordered a Diet Pepsi with grenadine; they don't carry Diet Coke, which I almost docked a point for, but the mix was unexpectedly delicious. Highly recommend it. My date ordered the hanger steak and said it was absolutely amazing. Only hiccup: his first glass of wine he got came out hot... like, microwave-level warm. Fortunately, the server brought a new (cold) one and the rest of the meal was smooth sailing. Service was friendly, the vibe was homey and relaxed, and the food was solid across the board. Would definitely come back, especially for that salad and another round of grenadine magic.

It was our first time eating at a Friedman's location. It had a nice diner feel to it, with a mix of booths and tables. The brunch menu has a variety of breakfast items, salads, sandwiches and burgers, starters, and entrees (fish tacos, grain bowl, fried chicken). I like that several of the items are naturally gluten free, and some can be made gluten free by request. We decided to go with three breakfast items from the brunch menu: I got the shakshuka, my sister got the Nova Benny, and we got the lemon ricotta pancakes to share. All 3 dishes were great. The shashuka came with grilled ciabatta, perfect for dipping into the sunny side eggs and tomato sauce. My sister loved that the poached eggs and smoked salmon of the Nova Benny came on top of a crispy potato latke. The pancakes were fluffy and the lemon ricotta and lemon zest elevated their flavor. Our server was friendly and attentive, and he asked us if we had any allergies when he took our order. He came by several times to check on us and refill water.
