Good and service is amazing! Definitely somewhere to stop for brunch on the weekends or lunch or dinner.

What outstanding service! We recently stopped by for lunch. A charming spot, within the market, and with a varied menu. We were enjoying ourselves so much, that I left without my purse that had been hanging from my chair back. When we were a couple hours away, I realized my mistake and called them. They were very kind and mailed my purse to me. I could not have asked for greater service read more

Just a great place! Good environment, the staff is friendly, professional and attentive, I dine there often and have NEVER had bad meal! I am a fan of the place! 100% read more

Not feelng the love here. This is a spot with a lot of potential - location, design of interior, menu, friendly staff - but it really missed the mark for me and my lunch companions. I give it an "A-OK" because it was not terrible but it was not anything special. And because it was not great, I felt the prices were a bit high for the quality of food and service. Food first - I ordered off the "Panini" menu fully expecting a sandwich that was filled with good items and then grilled. What I got was a piece of flatbread with grilled eggplant and onion on one side, and thick slices of tomato and mozarella with pesto sauce on the other. I guess it was an ungrilled openface flatbread sandwich, certainly NOT a panini. The egplant was very tough and uninspiring in flavor. The Tomato and Mozarrella fared better and the pesto helped counteract the very dry flatbread. My husband had the lasagna which he also felt was not the greatest. It was cheese lasagna with a. Bits of ground beef were added to the Marinara poured over the top. My other dining companions faired better with the Italian Sausage Calzone and the Philly Steak. Service was friendly, but marginal. We waited quite awhile to even get acknowledged after we were seated. We flagged down one of the waiters passing by our table and he told us that she was outside seving other customers. OK. The person seating us could have at least taken a drink order while we were waiting. They really weren't that busy. My Husband was brought the wrong meal and was initially told, " That's what you ordered." After we all said, "He ordered the Lasagna", she removed it and replaced it with the correct meal. On the plus side, we were charged for the sandwich which was significantly cheaper than the Lasagna. The indoor dining area is very attractive with stained glass decorations, brick walls, open beamed ceiling and a general hip repuposed old train station look. There is outdoor seating for most excellent people watching in the open air market. There are some other options in the market for more casual counter service dining. I would comsider giving thise a try first before coming back. read more

Soho's - Panini? Open face apparently. - Italian Near Me - Charleston, West Virginia

We dropped by a few weeks back to sit on their patio. Service started out a bit slow but got better as the meal went on. The food was pretty darn good - and the server did a great job of hooking my toddler up with some whipped cream and fruit. I'd go back if I lived in the area- it was nice to sit outside and enjoy the day. read more

Soho's has always been one of my favorites in Charleston and I hate to be that person, but it really has gone downhill. I still think it's a great spot for lunch and would recommend to anyone in the area, however, dinner is a bit $teep for what you get. As someone who has lived elsewhere for the past several years but pops into soho every couple years, here's my POV on what's changed. First is the bread. It's great tasting bread, I assume from Charleston Bread Co. They used to give you a generous portion including a variety of bread styles but now it comes out on a large platter with 4 small pieces of the same kind of bread (Italian I assume). Looks a bit silly tbh and obviously we asked for a refill. Secondly, the zucchini lasagna has always been my favorite dish. While it's a great vegetarian option first and foremost, it did not use to have pasta noodles in it. Isn't that the point of the zucchini, to replace the noodles? Recipe has changed and I was hoping to avoid the unnecessary carbs. Our entrees also came out seconds after our salads which was a bit annoying and rushed. I still like the atmosphere here so I'm sure we'll keep coming back, but as I stated earlier, lunch seems to be the best move at this establishment vs. a nice sit down dinner. read more

The cheesecake was $8 and suppose to be brûlée and it was plain. Sad. Not what was advertised. I ordered the chicken pasta and paid almost $9 for shrimp added and for 4 small shrimp. Sauce was watered down and considered taking it back. I'm a traveling nurse and we had discussed all of us going there together next week. Never and I will tell all of them and anyone. The salad was good lol. Wasted $52. Sad very sad. I just ordered something else. Save your money read more

This old brick longhouse was once a freight train station. SoHo's Italian Restaurant is on one end of what now the Capitol Farmers Market, an indoor/outdoor variety market with everything from fresh butchered meat to local honey, and about football field sized retail horticulture market. Soho's has indoor/outdoor seating and a spacious bar with West Virginia micro-beers, probably not available outside of the state. We shared the Ai funghi di basco, a 10 inch pizza, cracker thin with fresh wild mushrooms, caramelized onions, and Italian cheeses. Went down smooth with a locally brewed Lager. Sitting outside gives you plenty of people watching along the pavilion and greenhouse where patrons are purchasing spring flowers and plants. read more

I can't begin to sing this place's praise with full justice. Here for a break from a series of hospital interviews. Inside a converted train station with multiple markets and eateries. I had the individual pizza gamberi piccanti. Spicy shrimp and tomato on flat bread. I I take the job this is a place I will be back to again and again ... read more

So happy to be out and about again (6ft distancing of course). Sohos is always a definite stop when we come to Capital Farmers Market. Amanda was our waiter today and she was absolutely lovely. Apparently they have switched owners fairly recently and made some changes that included expanding their hours which is awesome! We started with the clam chowder and shared the caprese salad, both were very good. For entrees we had the chicken piccata and the fish of the day which was barramundi. The food is always so fresh and so well seasoned. Today the real standout was the barramundi. Just heavenly. We were completely blasted but decided to take desert to go because it sounded so good. Lemonberry mascarpone cake. Can't wait to try that one!! read more

Ministrone soup tonight. Excellent, as always. Ended up with soup for dinner. It's absolutely the best and the wait staff couldn't be friendlier. Had two glasses of wine and soup for $30, which makes it the best value in the valley, IMHO. I'll be back Wed & Friday read more

While the atmosphere is nice, especially with the new outdoor beer garden, the food is over priced and not that good. The $9 chop salad was standard and bland. The $23 Cannelloni seemed totally unspiced, the pasta was dry. I wish i had gone to olive garden. read more

Ingredients are not fresh. The cleanliness of the place I needs some upkeep. The food lacks quality, presentation and taste. I've tried so many times to come back and give this place a try but it fails every time. Time to move on! read more

WAY too long of a weight for food. No COVID protocols at all. Been here an hour still no food... Update: after the long wait we eventually sent one meal back to the kitchen because it was a less than subpar plate. read more

We did pick up as we stopped in Charleston for an overnight. I went to pickup the food which was definitely overpriced. The host at the front desk didn't seem to want to be bothered by me -it was a weird awkward situation. Then a girl came up who had taken my order on the phone -she was very nice and polite. I got my food and paid, then when I got to my car I had luckily realized that I was missing a large chef salad I had ordered. So I went back and told them and they said it would be a minute -it was like 10 minutes. The same host seemed annoyed with me for coming back. Then the girls that were working were peeking out behind a divider wall and giggling it was very weird. I got the salad and left. When I got the food it was for myself, my wife and children. The sauce they used wasn't good per my kids and wife, it was chunky and weird. I had the Cajun shrimp pasta which was amazing. Overall the experience was weird to say the least. read more

The food is phenomenal. The waitstaff... another story. I sit at the bar if Joey is working. He is the best ever.

Went to Soho tonight after they opened for 'dine -in' service. It's in a unique location smack in the middle is a local market created by converting an old train station. It's like walking into a nursery with great food! The place was set up perfectly for social distancing and we were very welcomed. The staff is wonderful! Thanks Started with a solid cocktail and bruschetta. We followed with some great wines (Chardonnay for my bride and Zinfandel for me). My wife had the trout and I had the best stuffed pepper I ever tasted! We recommend this spot and wish the new owners the very best of luck in the future! We know they will do well! read more

This restaurant is outstanding. When my family and I, family friends and their kids first arrived, the artistic ambiance had us a little worried since we had children with us. We were in for a huge surprise when we were received with the warmest welcome. The staff went out of their way to make us feel comfortable, they even took the time to give the kids a glimpse into their busy kitchen. By the time we left we almost felt like family. The service was not the only amazing thing about this restaurant, the food was exceptional. The kids Spagetti, my husbands ravioli, my friend and my fish courses as well as the Cajun pasta were pure taste explosions. Even the kids Spagetti didn't tasted anything like the typical kids dish, but true haught cuisine. An honest to goodness dining experience. read more

Pizza is yummy if you like a thin crust almost like a flat bread.. I also get the trio salad. Fresh and clean.However, I always long for more leafy greens. Drinks are amazing always fresh and cool. I particularly love too many pastas to count ... Ok well the chicken Marsala and Cajun chicken and shrimp. Mussels and tuna are my fav apps, can't go wrong with the surf and turf. Take out super enjoy and will bring out to your car. read more

I got the Mediterranean pasta with shrimp and my husband got the cannelloni. Food was delicious, service was excellent and all of the staff were very attentive and friendly. Highly recommended read more

This place is insane!!!! Went here for Charleston Restaurant Week in 2017, and I was thrilled! I was here once before for a job interview and just loved it. The Shrimp and Pasta with a Lemon Butter Sauce was outrageous. The Mushroom Bruschetta appetizer was off the charts. And the desserts, OMG!!!! I love this place! Great friendly staff, too! read more

Ducked in Sohos for lunch last Thursday while shopping at the market. I was solo and was offered the bar and outside seating by the host despite there being a number of tables available right in front of me. I was taken aback and hesitated for a couple seconds before saying "I prefer a table here please". I read the paper at lunch and want some space to spread out. I could tell he was not happy about seating a single person at a 4 top table. I'm not even going to rate the food and service here (it was average). This 1 star rating is for the treatment given to a solo diner. Hopefully someone will show the long time host this review and he will remember the next time a solo diner arrives. For the record I spent almost $30 for lunch. read more

Please someone come in and take over this awesome space. Like many other restaurants in Charleston, the food is just bad. Sohos, look up Italians spots like roberta's in Brooklyn, or Pizza Bruno in Orlando and take notes. If you're going to do it, do it well or don't do it at all. read more

Food, drinks and service were all great. Plating presentation could use some cleaning up but didn't look like they had an expo person the evening we were there so maybe they were short handed. read more

Good food and a great bar staff. Perfect place for lunch or dinner. The atmosphere is fantastic inside and out. The escarole and fagioli soup is killer for a start. I'm not a big pizza lover but this place knocks them out of the park. The cocktails are spot on every time you go. One of my favorites when I am in Charleston. read more

Food was okay. Service was okay. There wasn't really anything on the menu that stood out to me, so I got the smoked salmon plate. It was basically a salad with some smoked salon slices. It was just okay. There wasn't anything really bad and nothing great, so I probably wouldn't go back. Just average to me. read more

Would have been a 4. Except Timing. The food was tasty Italian with good flavor profiles. Caprese salad nice Big tomato slices with chopped seasoned basil. The polenta appetizer had a tasty mushroom gravy. Mussels and tilapia were yummy. Since the food came out the correct temperature, it wasn't the wait staff. However 2+ hours for food and drinks in the afternoon was way too long. read more

En route to Indianapolis on a psuedo-grown-up road trip with my beloved father and stepmother from DC to Indianapolis. We decided to take the scenic route through the Blue Ridge Mountains, etc, and ended up in Charleston. And sorry Charleston, we were quite nervous about dining options. My father declared in the car that he was hoping to have Italian food in Charleston. We cringed, fearing the worst with our snobby East coast heritage and love for Italian food. Upon our arrival at the hotel, we heard another couple asking about a nearby restaurant with the hotel staff, they said "Sohos" so we decided to Yelp it, noticing it was also quite close to our hotel. The space sounded cool (from reviews) and the location was easy to find. I checked out other Italian restaurants and was turned off by the hokeyness and limited menu. (I love old school style Italian, but, my tastes have evolved as I have grown older.) The space is great - a cool building that features a farmer's market. I think this super industrial city could really benefit from the use of spaces like this - it's super cool. Being quite a fan of industrial culture (well, good old industrial bands, I'm a rivethead!) I loved the space - without the name Soho or not it reminded me of any gentrified area - improving on warehouse spaces in a great way, NYC or not. (And I use gentrified lightly here, I don't approve of dislocating poor communities, but improving them, but it seems here there were no communities to move.) We saw the Wine Spectator awards and felt relief, being subscribers. We had a nice bottle at the bar and brought it to the table. Yes, the feeling is quite decorative, however they support local artists and allow for them to use the space to present their works. The bartender was friendly, a little distracted, but nice. Our waitress was nice too, our food came out in a timely manner and we closed the restaurant down. My father had spaghetti con vongole which came with clams in the shell (a nice amount), and I had one of my favorite dishes, spaghetti con gamberi which had nice large butterflied shrimp and a nice somewhat spicy sauce. I can't remember what my stepmother had. Oh, and we had appetizers. My stepmother had the house wedge that was hearty and fresh, and dad and I split caprese which had red ripe tomatoes. A lot of the veggies and such were fresh from the farmer's market which I really appreciated. Aside from the bartender tending to cater to his buddies (who were rather vulgar, but, it's a bar) and our waitress not pouring our wine, the food was surprisingly enjoyable and the atmosphere was cool (trip-hop jazz on the stereo!). Well done Charleston! read more

We just moved to Charleston, WV and had asked around quite a bit for some of the best food spots in town. My wife and I are by no means foodies, but we enjoy going out and experiencing the local food scenes in new and upcoming cities. Sohos was described to us as a hip, Italian resto that had a nice variety of savory plates to choose from. What we found was an awkwardly decorated, overly priced, limited menu that disappointed from the appetizer to the dessert. Can't complain about the service as the hostess and waitress were polite and very attentive. However the restaurant was so incredibly cold and the stale bread and rock hard butter they bring out before the entree didn't help warm our stomachs either. I ordered their "filet pizza" which was a complete disappointment.. no "filet", paper thin, and no flavor. Sorry to say we wouldn't recommend! read more

So bad. My daughter's meal came out undercooked. My pasta was refrigerator cold, and the pasta was sticky and gross. Sent it back and it came back slightly warmer. I think they are reheating in microwave. Absolutely awful read more

The restaurant was ok for it's a warehouse feels to it! Food was ok as well so was our service. He didn't write any of our order down so he mess it up and forget my husband drinks.

Some friends and I decided to go to this restaurant for "restaurant week". Sohos was listed along at the price point of other fine dining restaurants like Laury's, Chop House, and Bricks and Barrel. Being listed at this price point, we were expecting a food experience similar and on par with that. In past years we have gone to Laury's and Bricks and Barrel several times and have never been disappointed. Spending over $100.00 per couple for a meal is acceptable if the food and service is impeccable. This was not the case with Sohos. I will say, our waiter was amazing! He was friendly and timely with refills and service in general. However, the food was lacking. We started with the tuna, but the recipe was... odd. It was a seared tuna, but was also trying to be sushi. It was also cold, but I don't think it was meant to be. The next meal was a steak, which was also cold and VERY small. The meal was meant to be fancy, but the seasoning was off. While I didn't actually eat the desert, everyone at our table got a different size portion of the desert and it looked like it was cut from a giant sheet pan by a toddler with only 3 fingers and no thumbs. Needless to say, I would put the quality of the food on par with an Applebee's. It wasn't bad food, but for the price we paid... not worth the price tag. Sad. Next year we will be headed to Laury's or one of the other fine dining establishments in the Charleston area. read more

Overpriced and not the greatest food in the city, but it's a nice environment and a convenient location in the Capital Market. Basics, like salads and spaghetti are a great choice, but it felt like most appetizers and meals are made to appear "fancy" but were simple tasting and at times bland. If the prices were lower I would frequent it more often. Again, simple meals like a salad with choice of meat are a classic choice but advanced meals I wouldn't recommend. Three meals, one shared appetizer, basic drinks and tip was $150. Service was decent. read more

Had a rather chilly outdoor lunch here but it was still delicious. Caprese salad was the highlight of both mine and my husband's meal. I had the cheese frittata which was good not excellent. He had tuna salad which he gobbled down. Great place for lunch. read more

Visiting Charleston while on vacation and this place was highly recommended. My wife and I are leaving after having lunch quite a bit underwhelmed. The salad and the chicken and sausage gumbo were great. I had chicken parm and my wife had fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp. Her alfredo was very dry. The chicken portion of the parm was decent. Sauce is on the sweet side but nothing spectacular. I won't come back. read more

Had lunch today at their outdoor dining "beer garden," The tuna melt was great and reasonably priced. Waitress was friendly and attentive. Overall: a great experience. read more

The special, scallops, shrimp and salmon under what seemed to be a butter, white wine cream and garlic sauce and creamy Parmesan rice. Very tasty. The salmon was cooked perfectly medium and juicy, and the medium sized scallops and shrimp were delicious too. I enjoyed the creamy rice more than I expected too. A wonderful plate of food and great service. My 7 year old just had the cheese pizza but it was quite tasty, and we still have a few pieces in the fridge. Lovely plate of breads too to whet your appetite with real butter. Since Chef Bill died I'm just glad his wife kept it going and we have a wonderful place like this to eat after a lovely May afternoon of flower and plant shopping. Memories of many great lunches and dinners here. I just wish they would bring back Jazz Nights. read more
