    Pulled Pork Sandwich on a ciabatta
    Kathy L.

    I've worked in the area for the past 2 years and only now have I come across this sandwich place by word of mouth. It's fast casual, line up and the find an open place to sit to eat. The line gets long at the noon rush, but moves quickly. Easy to walk right past because first glance it looks like a wine bar and I had no idea they served food (soups, salads and sandwiches). Walk up to the counter and place your sandwich order--they'll call you when it's ready. I ordered the pulled pork on a ciabatta and while it doesn't look like much, it is packed with meat and I wasn't even able to finish the sandwich; half was very filling and tasted great. The prices are reasonable for the area.

    One of my go-to lunch spot when working in SF. Great place for a quick and healthy working lunch. Two of my favorites: Baked Salmon Green Goddess Salad 4.5/5 New Greek Salad 4/5 Portion is good for its price. Would love to try their sandwiches in the future

    New Greek Salad

    Great place to eat if you live or work in SF downtown. This place was introduced to us by one of our coworkers and quickly became team's favorite place for lunch. My favorite here is Greek salad and roasted eggplant sandwich.

    Since working remotely there have been two San Francisco lunch spots that I have missed and SOMA Eats is one of them. They have a limited menu but what they have has been consistently great. My all time favorite is the Baked Salmon Green Goddess Salad. The Salmon is seasoned and cooked perfectly and the salad is flavorful and satisfying. The service from the staff has always been top notch. I was recently back in the office and brought a co-worker for lunch and it was as good as I always remembered. They also have a really awesome beer selection. If you are in the area you definitely need to check it out.

    Stopped here for a casual lunch on a weekday with a friend and had a pretty good experience. I got an Asian salad with grilled shrimp, blood orange, pickled onions, edamame, avocado, and greens. All the ingredients tasted super fresh and came together very well. A bit pricey than what I would have liked, but this is downtown SF and the ambience was nice even though it's a fast-casual place, so no complaints.

    Lentil Protein Bowl
    Aditi M.

    I ordered the vegetarian eggplant sandwich this time which was not up to the mark - it was good but not the best, I felt like it was loaded which vegetables but was missing some dressing which would make it phenomenal. But, I enjoyed it. And, the lentil protein bowl here is delicious if you haven't tried.

    Smoked Salmon Sandwich

    Soma eats served me with a beautiful presentation of my salad and sandwich! My salmon was cooked perfectly with just the right amount of seasoning,so delicious! The establishment was so nice and cutesy and felt like an oasis in the busy city.

    Turkey meatloaf sandwich with soup on the side.
    Jenny H.

    Great place to grab a quick bite to eat for breakfast or lunch. You can grab & go or order in front and eat in. You'll usually get a seat quickly. Favorite: TURKEY MEATLOAF SANDWICH, $10.95 Indian-spiced turkey meatloaf with Peppadew peppers and arugula, spiced garlic aioli spread on toasted ciabatta. Delicious bread (toasty & easy to bite into). There's a hint of spiciness. The meatloaf is incredibly moist and rich in flavor. Such a great sandwich! You should get this with their soup of the day. This meal tastes 10x better during the winter. It'll definitely warm you up!

    Baked Salmon Greek Goddess Salad

    Fresh food + clean and trendy space = great lunch. SOMA seemed to be the go-to spot for all the business folk on their lunch hour. It was packed and had pretty limited seating, yet somehow my big group managed to move through the line quickly and all find seats together at the bar. Their menu was packed but not overwhelming. There is easily something for everyone. I normally wouldn't get salmon at a grab and go lunch spot (it is usually just overcooked and nothing special) but this place seemed like one to trust. I got the Baked Salmon Greek Goddess Salad. Both the name and the dish were equally a mouthful. It came on a bed of romaine with shredded carrots, cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber and fresh avocado. The salmon was wonderful and cooked just perfectly. The dressing came in a little dish on the side and was a little creamier than I would normally opt for but nonetheless, made for a tasty salad. The only thing I would have liked is if the salad actually came chopped and mixed, with the salmon on the top, as opposed to everything in piles on top of the romaine. It makes for an awkward meal, having to cut and mix your own salad in a bowl that isn't very convenient for the task. It's a little thing, not a huge deal at all. And to be honest, the staff was so nice and accommodating that if I asked them to do this, I am very sure they would have. Next time I stop in, I'll have to remember to do so. I always would rather sit at a table so it's easy to talk to everyone rather than a bar but Wednesday 12:00 in Fidi, beggars can't be choosers. This was definitely not a bad option at all. The bar was beautiful and clean and you weren't bumping elbows with the person next to you. It was a great meal at a good price and next time I am in town, it will be in my rotation for lunch spots for sure.

    I love this place! My friend recommended it a couple years back and I've been going ever since. It's your daily salad, sandwich, soup, chocolate chip cookie kinda place but amped up with the whole sustainable product kick. I always got their salmon goddess salad which is super fresh but now they have hot bowls! I love their chicken pomegranate bowl with carrot slaw, spinach, couscous, and of course a couple of pomegranates for decoration Yum!

    YUM. SOMA is the main stomping grounds for lunch for all corporate offices in a five mile radius of Downtown San Fran. Since most seating is typically packed with fellow lunch-goers, this is the perfect spot for a quick grab-and-go. SOMA has limited seating, quick service, and an assortment of trendy + health conscious beverages. For example, one of my coworkers ordered blue Mermaid Lemonade! For my meal I ordered the Spicy Pulled Pork Sandwich, and removed the spicy coleslaw since I'm a huge wuss. The sandwich was served on a fluffy ciabatta bun with juicy pulled pork. Unfortunately, since I removed the coleslaw, the sandwich was slightly dry (my fault), so I added a little bit of their salad dressing. This addition made the meal delicious and I would love to return in the future to try a few more menu options.

    New Greek Salad to-go
    Nancy C.

    SOMA eats is one of my go-to lunch spots in this area. I always get a salad here because the New Greek Salad and Greek Goddess Salads are solid. Portion sizes are also pretty big. Pro-tip: you can replace the salmon in the Green Goddess Salad with pork, meatloaf, or lamb. They offer a wide variety of salads, sandwiches, and beers. Great spot for a healthy-ish lunch. Beware though as it gets super packed during lunch rush so you might want to beat it if you plan on dining in. Also a big fan of their cookies, it's delish!

The crispy chicken was recommended by the server and it truly did not disappoint. The chicken was crisp and juicy and the noodles were cooked perfectly. For drinks we got the Thai iced tea, butterfly lychee fizz, and the coconut milk latte. I got the Thai ice tea less sweet and it was perfect for me ( I usually don't like it super sweet). The butterfly lychee fizz was very refreshing (could be less sweet for me) and the coffee was also very good! Would definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in the area or looking for brunch food that isn't your typical American brunch!

In my opinion Lapisara ranks in the middle due to the other excellent options available. Seated immediately--had a reso but on a Wednesday morning not really necessary. It took a long time for the single employee to get to us but we weren't in a hurry. Cappuccino was very good in a cute "bear mug" and very reasonably priced. We shared a pacific omlet--not much crab, lots of shrimp, and nice swiss cheese/scallions but tasted kind of fishy--potatoes were only avg. Son said huevos rancheros were average. Price point good for SF and portions adequate to share. Location convenient so we will try dinner there tonight before a comedy show nearby. Dinner-5++ stars; 4 of us Had dinner last night-6pm-reso but not needed. only one other group dining. Single Waitress was great-we let her know we needed to leave in about an hour for a show and she timed everything perfectly--we even had time for dessert. we ordered so many items that she brought over an extra table--we shared everything family style. Most Yelp reviews only mention brunch but the dinner was awesome--service; food: taste/quality, presentation, portions, prices we phenomenally low for SF ($200 with a bottle of wine for 4 people). We started with the garlic butter clams-small but tasty. Tuna tartar was excellent quality and enough to share. Samosas were more like empanadas--very good with peanut sauce so good it rivaled my own home made. We continued our culinary adventure with crab fried rice-delicious, a large portion and my son who lives in SF and has tried dozens of crab fried rice ranked it in the top tier. The pacific catch rice noodles with crab was also excellent-big portion, lots of crab, tasty. Final entree was their specialty-Mussaman Curry. Wow, tender meat/potatoe "stew" with a very unique flavor from the star anise/cinnamon and peanut--to die for. Creme Brulee was very good with lots of fresh fruit accompaniment My only complaint was a very limited wine selection. Lapisaia will become one of our regular spots for dinner!!!

They had a nice crisp on the outside and were soft on the inside. I also got a regular coffee, and they do unlimited refills. The place was busy for brunch, and I liked the bear theme. Some of the coffees came in bear-shaped glasses, and some of the lattes had a decorative bear made out of ice.

The lemon ricotta pancakes are the star for good reason. They were light, fluffy, and not too sweet. The crispy potatoes were excellent too, just be warned they come out scorching hot (I burned the roof of my mouth going in too eager). Give them a minute to cool. Upside of parking on the top of that steep hill is that you'll burn off your breakfast calories getting back to your car.
