    Crab Royale
    Ikenna I.

    I'm usually the one in the group chat vetting the dinner spots, but I'm glad I trusted my friend's suggestion of Soso's for NYE. The space hit that sweet spot--large enough to fit a proper group of friends without feeling like a warehouse, and the seating didn't feel cramped. It's a smooth environment for a night where you actually want to hear what your people are saying, though I have to shout out the playlist. The music was really on point; it set a vibe that was sophisticated but still had enough soul to keep the energy up all night. We started with the Crab Royale and the Hamachi Crudo. The Jonah crab was paired with a red miso custard that was incredible; it was rich and savory in a way that felt more intentional than your standard seafood app. The Hamachi was also top-tier, using strawberry and chili for a balance that didn't lean too hard into the fruit. It was a sharp, clean start to the meal. For my main, I went with the Steak Au Poivre. The Angus hanger steak was cooked exactly how it should be, but the green peppercorn sauce was really the star of the show. It had that perfect peppery bite that cuts through the richness of the meat. Usually, restaurant sauces can be an afterthought, but this one felt like the main event. It was a solid way to bring in the New Year. The food is high-level, the music is elite, and the atmosphere is grown and laid back. I'll definitely be back when I'm looking for a meal that actually delivers on the hype.

    I liked the ambiance, it was dim lit with a lively crowd in the front, busy Friday night. As you get towards the back it's more quiet ans intimate. The music put the cherry on top. Service was timely and attentive, server was friendly. The duck was delicious! Juicy with a crispy skin. I enjoyed that meal. Waited mushroom was also a good pick. The house salad is a generous serving. Crispy fresh greens. My only complaint was the salad dressing was a bit overwhelming- like it was too much. Overall, it was a pleasant visit ans I loved that picture of the woman in the back. Private space also available. I would go again!

    Chicken liver pâté
    Lila L.

    Came by on a whim on a Wednesday at 4:30pm and were seated immediately. Classy interior with booth and bar counter seatings. Got a dozen raw oysters and the chicken liver pate, both were delicious. The jam that accompanied the pate was unique and not the sweet jam people typically think of, definitely more savory. Service was attentive.

    I came here with some friends on a Thursday night and they were able to seat us early! Their cocktail list is extensive and I ordered the southside sour which had mint and was refreshing. For food we shared everything: Escargot (10/10) I don't typically like escargot but this was delicious and came with little baguette pieces Crab royale (9/10) really good and we used the baguettes from the escargot to dip into the custard Then it took a long time for our other food to come out so they gave us free white tea shots and added a complimentary house salad (8/10 good with a nice mustardy dressing) Chicken kiev (9/10 crispy and juicy and came with a little paper chef hat!) 4 quarter cheeseburger (8/10 the actually burger patty was okay but everything else combined was delicious!) Fries (10/10) super crispy and asked for extra aioli And then we got a Guinness sundae (9/10) not something I would typically like but the brown sugar caramel and ganache really made it good! They also added a candle for my friend's birthday and comped the dessert too! Cute interior, a little unsettling when a subway passes underneath but I'd definitely come back!

    Escargot
    Ashley L.

    Great service no complaints about that at all!!! Ordered the escargot have no idea why all we tasted was a kind of curry. It wasnt curry sauce but something added threw us all off which tasted "like curry". The bread was over toasted n hard. The first bite we all took it cut our mouth. Great place to people watch will return again. Don't know if that day the food order was just off or what but it was not good

    Asparagus, steak tartare and hamachi crudo
    Luiza A.

    Came here on a Friday night and had a lovely experience! The dining area is tucked in the back and it's beautifully decorated with big cozy booths. Great spot to catch up with friends as it's not loud but there's nice music playing in the background. The staff was also super attentive and friendly. Starters: Hamachi crudo which was absolutely delicious and paired so nicely with the strawberries on top. Asparagus is an absolute must get! It's a cold dish but everything was delicious and the butter beans were my favorite part. Steak tartare was also delicious and the crunch on top adds a nice change in texture. Entree: Vol au vent was so comforting and delicious. Mallard is another must get! The agrodolce pairs perfectly with the duck and it's the perfect portion size to share. Fries were delicious / thicker cut and the garlic aioli is so incredibly delicious. Dessert: Guinness sundae was so decadent and rich but absolutely amazing. Great dessert to split and the ice cream is a nice light balance to the heavier sauces. Incredible service and food, would definitely come back!

    We stopped into this hip spot in SoHo for a drink before heading to dinner in Little Italy and were welcomed by friendly staff. Our bartender, Jesse, made the best whiskey sour we've ever had.. it was absolutely delicious! Followed by one of the best espresso martinis we've tried. jesika is an absolute fantastic bartender ! The vibe was relaxed, stylish, and chill, perfect for unwinding. If you're in the area, this place is definitely worth checking out.

    Stopped by for a cocktail before dinner. Dark cosy bar with a great vibe. I probably increased the average age by 50%. There were tablefuls full of women in a festive mood. The bar was comfortable. I got to watch the bartender construct a few cocktails. He was an artist- meticulous without being flashy. He made me a perfect gin martini. Apparently they serve food too. Great spot for an excellent drink in a fun atmosphere.

    found this on Resy and so glad we came here!! food was absolutely delicious and the vibes were great. really cool cocktail/bar area in the front of the restaurant, they even have outdoor seating for warmer weather, and such a cute retro-decorated dining room area! our waitress was super friendly and turned me on to some new drinks based on what i told her i liked. the tune tartare was delish and the leeks were incredible, i miss them already. i would skip the halibut and fries - halibut had a weird flavor but would come back for the duck and burger which i wish we got!! the sundae was delicious but super heavy we sadly couldn't finish it. 100% will be coming back add this to your list!

    Espresso Martini
    Grace A.

    Nice bar in soho. Drink menu had lots of options to select from. The espresso martini was deliciously made with fresh espresso and amazingly crafted tequila. The service was on point.

    Well funny how we came about to this spot. I was on google maps a d tried to find whatever cocktail bar we were close to and this one popped up and I also liked the name! So my friend and I said why not let's check it out! So glad we did. The outside awning is very pretty too and it looked like a cute place. We got in and found two bar seats which was perfect. I had a French 75 which was very tasty and my friend had a martini which she said was very good too. This bar was on the smaller side and had some table seating. It is mostly bar seating though. As you can see in my pictures the bar is to me beautiful. And they have all and every kind of liquor you can imagine, well so it seems! They have some bar snacks but we were only there for drinks. Tell your friends and family about this spot deff worth checking out if you are looking for a chill date night spot or somewhere to go with a friend or multiple friends. The Bartenders here are all very nice and helpful too. They answered all our questions we had.

    We had a private room in the back but it doesn't have doors... quite tight for the big group. It might have been a better experience if it was a smaller group setting and we just enjoyed drinks out front. Food was fine but loved our waitress!!

The ambiance feels straight of the golden age, which is an aesthetic I'm certainly a sucker for. Even their robust cocktail menu fits the bill and is one of the prettiest menus I've ever had the joy of perusing. Staff was able to sit us a little bit ahead of our reservation which was also much appreciated. Wait staff was also very helpful and attentive, I don't think I've ever had my water glass so topped off! Starting off with cocktails, this place is a gin bar through and through and you'd be making a mistake if you didn't try one of their many options. I went with the 10,000 words, which you simply just give a spirit of your choice (I picked gin of course) and whether you antes) wanted your drink shaken or stirred and the bartender does the rest, so a bit of a surprise! I wound up with their version of The Last Word which was delightfully citrusy but I was hoping I'd wind up with something a little more adventurous app things considered. My girlfriend got the blackberry G&T, which was not only very pleasing to look at but delicious to boot. For food, we started with splitting some zucchini blossoms and beef cheek bao buns (both come in portions of 3). Both were tasty, but I love a good bao bun and these were so light and pillowy, I could have just went for an order of those for my main course. For the entree I went for the roasted half chicken, perhaps the most unassuming choice on the menu but this was maybe the best roast chicken I've ever had. Prepared perfectly, cooked to perfection, excellent portion size, and the kicker of it all was the stunning gravy that I was tempted to lick my plate for. Chicken is very easy to screw up, and they nailed it on all fronts here. My girlfriend went for the Valerie Signature burger with white cheddar and this thing did not mess around! A very rich patty, cooked to her temperature of choice served alongside some garlic truffle fries that made an American classic feel just a little more elevated. Our experience was delightful and I'd love to comeback here again, especially to check out more of the cocktail menu and soak in more of that golden age aura the place gives.

Cocktails are made with various types of rum and ingredients like grapefruit, maraschino, wormwood amaro, falernum, thyme, Assam tea, spiced lime, allspice, coconut, cucumber, nutmeg, sour orange. All the drinks keep with the tropical, fruity taste with a hint of spice. They are also broken up into categories (dry land = no alcohol, shallows = average amount of alcohol, and abyss (larger amounts of alcohol). The abyss section has some cocktails that are limited to two per customer. They have some bar bites like fried green tomatoes, shrimp toast, broiled oysters, ricotta, dumplings, sliders. I had the French fries with kimchi ranch, which were underwhelming. Bartenders were cool and kept the drinks coming. I got in immediately without an issue or a wait, but it was right after a snowstorm. I've seen some people struggle to get in or have a long wait.

Our friends raved about this place and we of course were excited (and a bit skeptical at first) to try it. The concept: no menu + no lights + a few questions = the ultimate cocktail experience. The speakeasy vibe and the dark ambiance really makes this place feel even more exclusive. With just a few tables and the bar setting, you're in for an experience you won't forget (unless you answer the wrong questions and really end up with a drink you don't like HA). This wasn't my case. Of course I described my two favorite things: Negroni + mezcal. The obvious answer would be a mezcal Negroni, but that's not why one comes to a place like Attaboy. Our amazing curator came by to ask us all a few questions, write down a few words in the napkins, and mix up the perfect drink that our master bartender crafts, curates and creates. My drink came as I couldn't possibly imagine. It looked like a Negroni smelled like Oaxaca, with all the smoke simmering up and preparing my sensory experience, leading to the best first sip. Ladies and gentleman, I introduce you to The Devil's Backbone. A perfectly balanced drink I'll never forget, one that is sipped slowly and enjoyed thoroughly. It's sexy, it's smoky it's sipped. Attaboy gave the best mixology experience and we can't wait to be back. Pro tip: be sure to be as vocal as possible, even with ice, so you don't end up with a tiki drink if that's not your vibe.
