It was... OK. I sat in a partially open back area with a group. The benches were really hard where we were sitting, though it had a cute ambiance to it with little decorative pillows (more cushioning for the seating, please). Our group ordered late into our reservation, but the food taking long to come made it feel like I was there forever. I have to imagine it was about 40 minutes at least. Anyways, the food was pretty standard. I think the standout was the crispy beignets, though the frittata was adequate. The jury is still out. I would return if someone wanted to go, but I'm not sure I can recommend it yet. read more

Went on a Saturday for a girls brunch with a group. The mimosa tower was a delight. The food was mediocre. The stuffed French toast itself, was good. However the fruit and the "glaze" were better left off. The "glaze" was a bright orange liquid that had the viscosity of juice. The fruit did not taste ripe, it was bland and slightly hard. I simply put it on the side after a few unappetizing bites. My friend has the crab cake Benedict. No complaints about the eggs or crab cakes. However, she said the bread was quite tough. Would not return for the food, but would for the drinks, the strawberry-orange mimosa was great! And there were numerous other flavors read more

Came here for brunch with my bf and best friend and the vibes in this place were great. The waitress was super friendly and attentive to us. The music was on point - the dining room ended up singing all together to a couple of the songs that were being played. The burger itself was a bit dry. The onion portion was small so I truly on got them towards the end of the burger. Would probably come again to try a different option. read more

Came down to Somo after ditching another happy hour spot. Loooved it. We managed to get a seat at the bar and enjoy their happy hour. Started off with their mule which was darn good and ordered their fried veggie dumplings and tots. Allllll of it was fire: the food, the atmosphere, drinks and especially the price. I can't wait to come back to try their other bites. read more

Drive to Philly with no return planned... After a recommendation from my East Philly living sister who had never been to the restaurant, I viewed the menu and was immediately intrigued. Upon our arrival, I met a gorgeous couple who had just powered through a TOWER of mimosa. My partner and I ain't no punks, so we decided to do the same. I won't lie, the tower was intimidating. After 48 ounces, still not being done with your chosen beverage was odd. It sitting at the table with us made the bottomless feel of the brunch REAL! Babe wanted beignets, they were sold out since opening. We ordered the Seasonal Omelet and the Shrimp & Grits BEFORE the mimosa. At the halfway mark we finished breakfast and ordered a side of bacon. Two thirds of the way through, we ordered a single pancake and the Short Rib Tacos. We devoured EVERYTHING. Our server Lede (rhymes with sweetie) was beautifully spirited and helpful. She was continuously engaging and warm. Her smile encouraged us to keep going. And we needed it! read more

Somo Manayunk - Strawberry Pineapple Mimosa Tower - New American Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Spent the day in Manayunk and spotted Somo as we were walking down the street.Initially the hostess told us we have to make a reservation and it could be an hour or so wait and I got a little chummy with the other hostess who somehow made a table magically appear so in terms of hostess support hands-down impressed however our experience goes totally downhill from here. It was a while that we were sitting at our table before we were finally recognized and cold water was brought over and finally our server came to talk to us about the menu and take ourdrink order. I wanted to start off with iced coffee but per the server they were only had it half-and-half, a little odd considering this neighborhood and the type of folks here that they wouldn't have a far ranging options of different milks. but somehow miraculously a very tiny amount of milk appeared on the table to accompany my iced coffee. Better than nothing I suppose. Nexf we placed our order, my wife ordered pancakes and she really would've preferred having the strawberries mixed into the batter but that was something that they apparently would not accommodate so we got it with the strawberries on top and for me I simply ordered their poached egg option off the menu and then we watched the time click by and click by and it took some more to about 40 minutes later our brunch finally arrived. Hence after asking a few times our meal it finally came out. Not like they were crazy super busy there were some empty tables but can't understand why our server wasn't going back and putting a push for it to find out where our food was. Plus with all that weight time server never once came back to offer a refill on the ice coffee and that dropper size amount of milk that they gave me. My wife got to taste hers first and it was to her liking, however as soon as I cut into my poached egg we realized it was not poached any longer, it was basically hard boiled eggs. how do you ruin poached eggs? so I asked to have it returned and try again and then I watch the clock tick again and tick again and tick again and 20 minutes later my breakfast still had not come out so we got up paid for the food that we did it and we left. very sad that this was such a poor experience they were busy look like other people were getting the mail and enjoying their food and their beverages I just don't understand how we became the chosen ones so hence we will not be back again. read more

This place was a vibe!!! Music was on point I could've stayed there all day because they didn't play one skip--ENCORE!! For drinks-- I had the Lychee Martini which in my opinion was "different" and had a floral taste and it was my first time trying Lychee which tasted like a skinless grape lol not bad at all. My moms cocktail was a strawberry mojito--Taste like juice, they could've kept that behind the counter lol. We tried the crab cake Benedict; both our first time trying a poached egg and I'd give it a solid 7/10. I'm big on texture, and this did not stop the show for me so thumbs up!! Our server was nice also, she gave plenty of recommendations despite being hardly able to hear her over the music but nonetheless I'd recommend this place. They serve brunch, dinner, and Mexican food on Tuesdays for Taco Tuesday I believe. read more

Was in the mood for brunch so decided to check out Somo! The strawberry-orange mimosa had a taste that you had to get use to. I enjoyed the flavor but my friend did not and requested pineapple mimosas. The frittata and home fries were enjoyable. The atmosphere was chill and the music was not too loud. I love brunch ! This was a more low key experience but I will definitely come back! read more

The meal my Fiancé and I had was great. We initially sat inside, but there were flies that kept bothering us as we at. The waitress was kind enough to sit us outside, however the tables are too big and made it pretty tough to get into the booth. On to the meal! We started out with the calamari which was very good. I recommend getting the chipotle Mayo on the side if you want to dip into the sweet chili sauce. The shrimp and lobster mac and cheese was ok, I just thought It was a tad bit salty. Everything else, such as the cheese sauce & the sprinkle of bread crumbs, blended perfectly. I also didn't think this meal option provided the best value considering the serving size. The fried chicken sandwich was excellent value. It came with a nice serving of fries. The hot sauce/lite spicy Mayo mix was ok and the chicken was fried to perfection. read more

I wasn't super impressed with this place. I went during a busy Sunday and the service was terrible and the food was just okay -- definitely not worth the price I paid for. The Lox Bagel came deconstructed and the presentation was just horrible. I also had a pancakes which was pretty good and some home fries. Pretty average place tbh. read more

Was invite to SOMO for a graduation brunch. It was my first time there. I typically don't go to Manayunk because the parking is ridiculous, but brunch was at 12, and I found parking immediately. There was indoor and outdoor seating, but our reservation was for inside. It's not a huge place, but comfortable and spacious enough. The servers were very nice and patient. Our complete party was a few minutes late; however, they continuously checked on us, and the water refills were endless. Some places forget to refill your water, but they were on top of it. We started the order off backwards-ordered the Beignets first. They were ok, nothing like New Orleans, but the presentation was good. The salmon lox frittata was excellent as well as the Apple Cinnamon French Toast. I ordered the Crab Cake Benedict to go. I ate that the next day for breakfast. It was very flavorful. I wanted to get the bottomless mimosa, but not everyone was interested, and I am not a drinker. I just wanted to try it. Maybe next time. Overall, I would recommend SOMO. The service was quick, the staff was nice, and most importantly, the food was delicious. Til we eat again.... read more

Ordered Banana foster pancakes but was sad to find out that they were out of Bananas. This was the first let down, the next was the fact that the pancakes were not really that good. That consistently fall apart and just were not that flavorful. They definitely have a lot for room for improvement. Dine here with caution. read more

Well...finally made it back to SOMO for brunch! Somo has a great brunch menu! I decided to give those Sriracha wings a try again and the heat has been turned down...Yaaaay!

I recently relocated from NY to Philly n this is my first time here n I guess I came on a good night because. It was definitely a vibe

The spicy buffalo chicken wings were served warm not hot. The calamari was served hot with spicy sauce on top with a side of dipping sauce. The music was very diverse from Chris Brown, Her to club music . Low lighting our waitress was a nice young gentleman who is excellent at multi tasking. He brought the drinks the food and was cleaning tables. They were definitely behind in the kitchen our food took about an hour to come from the kitchen. read more

We had such an enjoyable night here at SoMo. Kyle was our server and he was excellent. He knew the menu perfectly, and gave great recommendations. Our table all came in separately at different times. He was there to greet each and everyone of us quickly and efficiently. Everybody had drinks, water, and appetizers right off the bat the menu itself is a wide variety of different tastes, we enjoyed the cheesesteak eggrolls, and everybody had a different types of drinks from the bar. We stayed for quite a long time and was able to taste everything from the filet mignon to salads to roasted airline chicken! I asked Kyle about one of the items on the menu called Narragansett, my mother and father ironically are from Narragansett Bay Rhode Island. Have nothing to say but wonderful things. This will be our third trip to this restaurant. Can't wait to go back. read more

We made a reservation for a large party of 12 for brunch to celebrate to a birthday. The service was less than pleasant. We had to ask for certain things multiple times, including drinks. We hoped for the mimosa tower but because that was unavailable due to a broken tap, we had to buy two bottles which were almost double the price. It was a shame because we were celebrating and the food was good but not enough to compensate. Additionally we had a food allergy at the table and the plate was still served with allergy garnish even though allergy was an acknowledged by server. read more

This was a perfect breakfast wrap. Fluffy eggs, peppers, sausage, with a side of pico. It was exactly what I was looking for, and the heaping serving of home fries was also a plus. My friend and I also decided to split a massive picther of mimosas... and more than enough for two of us. Will definitely be back for brunch again. read more

My friends and I came here for brunch on a Sunday morning and had a nice time. We made a reservation ahead of time and got an outdoor heated hut, which was very welcome since the weather was unseasonably chilly. Our server was awesome - so friendly and warm throughout our time at SOMO! I ordered the Caprese Benedict (mozzarella, tomato, basil, poached eggs, and hollandaise). It came with a side of home fries and was delicious! My only complaint is that it's a little more expensive than the brunch prices I'm used to in Philly, so while it probably won't be my go-to when I'm back in town, it was pretty solid. read more

I came here on a Saturday morning for brunch. It was totally worth trekking through the blizzard. Had it not been snowing, we would have sat outside in the cutest little booths! But the inside was just as nice. They have a bottomless mimosas for $26, so really you only need to drink 3 glasses to break even. I think that's a really good price and also our server kept filling up our glasses quickly. Although I will say they have a fully stacked bar so even if the mimosa deal isn't for you, they will be able to make anything. For my main, I had the French toast. Wow it was fantastic!!! Fluffy bread, warm apples, and fresh whipped cream. I ate every last bite. Overall I would love to come back and try dinner! read more

We came here over the weekend for my girls' birthday and we had such a fun time!! We sat in one of the Greenhouse pods on a chilly night so the wall heater and blanket were brought made it all so cozy. The staff were all friendly, attentive and handled requests from all 6 of us without skipping a beat. The Georgia On My Mind & Respect Your Elderflowers cocktails we ordered were delicious and the Brie app was a perfect appetizer to share. The Shrimp Scampi and Roasted Chicken were both really good. We had 2 little ones with us and, although they don't have a kids' menu, accommodated all of our non-menu items as well and it was much appreciated! Since no one could settle on dessert, we ordered all three. Bourbon Banana Bread Pudding, Warm Chocolate Tart and Beignets = Yum. I already know I'll be back. read more

After a long day of walking and of an exhaustive search for a place to eat, I am glad the first place we were looking for ended up being closed because we stumbled upon this place. The server was really nice and helpful. My girlfriend had the huevos rancheros and I had the Cesar salad with grilled chicken. Both of our meals were perfect. The grilled hockey on my salad was perfectly cooked and tasted good. This place was not our first choice but it worked out perfectly! read more

Love this place. I come at least every other month. I can't believe I can't find any photos from the millions of times I've been but, I recommend the Fried Chicken & French Toast, The Salmon B.A.L.T. and the mango margarita. All amazing and won't disappoint. TIP: if coming for brunch on the weekends make a reservation. They offer bottomless mimosas and it makes this place a hot spot for sure! read more

Somo Manayunk - Roasted Brussels Sprouts SOMO disco fries - New American Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Starting the week off at SOMO Manayunk, made Monday less hard because that brunch food...MY GAWD! I've dined here for dinner and the food was amazing so I had no doubt that the brunch would measure up. There are so many good menu selections, we wanted EVERYTHING. If you're with a cool party like myself, ordering different items so you can have a lil bit of everyone's meal. RECS RED VELVET PANCAKES: It tastes even better than it looks, and it looks so rich! The sweet cream cheese frosting definitely sets it off where you may not even need the syrup drizzle. The portion was so big I had to take it home and it was definitely the first thing on my mind when I woke up the next morning. LOL! CRAB CAKE BENEDICT: I read a prior review that the crabcake wasn't good and tasted like it was taken out of a frozen packet. LIES. So savory & scrumptious. Don't let the small patty fool you, the meal is definitely filling. CHEESY GRITS: Bayyyyybeee, I'm not even a big grits person and these are a must! If you have to pick between the Home Fries with Peppers & Onions and Cheesy Grits, GO FOR THE CHEESY GRITS! FRIED CHICKEN FRENCH TOAST: Love how they switched it up from the typical chicken & waffles because french toast is always better. Super tasty and the chorizo gravy was definitely the star of the show. Reservations are highly suggested otherwise you'll be stuck with either a long wait or sitting at the bar - and you gotta sit in one of the little outdoor greenhouses because the design and level of people watching gave me total Parisian vibes. Also note, parking in Manayunk can be hectic so arrive early to allot enough time. Also, we didn't get the $26 bottomless mimosa add on because it was a bit pricey but instead opted for the Frosé which was a great pick - one definitely had us smiling and feeling niiiiice (I'm low-key embarrassed to admit this ). They have a lot of cute cocktails on the menu too so would love to try others next visit. I guess you can tell I'll be back at SOMO, huh? Not only amazing food but great customer service as Marissa, the manager, stopped by our table to ensure we were enjoying ourselves. And I love the fact that their brunch menu begins on Thursdays so you can miss the brunch rush, if needed. Looking forward to dining again at SOMO! read more

Grabbed dinner and drinks at Somo with two girlfriends to celebrate a birthday. We went on a Tuesday and were excited to see they had $3 tacos. We all ordered three each and tried the buratta and brussel sprouts. Everything was delicious and left us leaving full. I felt so obligated to write this review because of the AMAZING service we received from our waitress Angie. She went above and beyond to ensure we had a good time and enjoyed our experience. We will return and be sure to check out the south Philly location as long as Angie is working! read more

Great spot, went on a late-night, and you would have not known. A firm candidate to be a go-to spot...

This place has a sizable menu and excellent drinks. Just be prepared to wait for it. Let's dive in ... Food (4/5): We ordered the Buffalo cauliflower and the bruschetta. Both were fantastic! I loved the cauliflower breading and sauce. The bruschetta was bursting with flavor from the tomato, cheese, arugula, oil and spices. I split the orange salmon and the ahi tuna with someone. This loses a star for overlooking each. Salmon was a bit dry and the ahi tuna which I ordered medium rare was medium/leaning-medium-well. Drinks (4/5): I ordered the lychee martini which was made with sake, lychee juice and something else I am blanking on (and garnished with a lychee). It was a tad too sweet but I love lychee so it was alright by me. My dining partner loved her spritzer -- which I found sweet but it wasn't my drink! Service (4/5): Service was mixed on two fronts -- the waiter came over multiple times to check on us for drink refills, see how the food was, etc but on the other side the entree course took forever to come out with no communication from wait staff. Ambiance (4/5): We ate inside and it was a cute little place. Simple wooden bookshelves and mostly bare bright painted walls. Minus one because it was a bit loud -- I imagine due to the fact that there was minimal decor to absorb sound -- it just bounced around. TL;DR: Would recommend if you are in no rush. Great for dinner or just drinks and apps. read more

My daughter and I decided to use this day for hopping around manayunk to try foods, see sites, and shop. WoWWWW!!! The vibe here is fantastic. Had me sold when I walked in the door to Usher playing. There's a DJ on the right, a hostess on the left. We arrived about 230pm the place was packed. You wld have thought it was a Friday night. We were seated right away in a side dining room area which was packed as well. The place was loud, trendy, and hip. I could hardly hear anything the waitress was saying. I didn't mind the music cause it made me feel like I was at a party. An Because we were trying places we ordered light. I started with the Strawberry Mojito, my daughter had the lychee. We ordered the Crab Cake eggs Benedict to try. The menu said it came on a English muffin but it tasted more like a slider roll, the bottom was a little hard to cut. It tasted ok. Can't say I would try it again but I would like to come back to try other options. read more
