All around amazing! From being greeted by the owner (nice!) upon arrival to leaving with several goodbyes and thank you! Atmosphere is definitely a 5/5. Service as prompt, friendly yet professional. I had the crab cake and my date had salmon. Both agreed they were perfect! I was so impressed with the crab cake. Being from Maryland, I can be quite picky! Perfect Old Fashioned cocktail just added to the great meal. Definitely will return! Thank you Sobo Cafe!

I have been here twice now. It's such a good neighborhood restaurant vibe. I came once for dinner and once around lunch. I love the low light and conversation happening around dinner. The outside street side seating area is cute too, but I was attacked by mosquitoes, so I have to be strategic about the time of year I do that. Service is efficient and helpful too. The chicken pot pie is delicious, I also had their Mediterranean wrap. I look forward to coming back for their chicken entree, which seemed to be a hit on my last visit.

Brunch, lunch, dinner - all amazing at SoBo!! We have been here at least a dozen times and always leave satisfied. The service is great and you would never know you're steps away from all the Fed Hill bars once you're inside. In the winter, the chicken pot pie is amazing, but some other favorites are the shakshuka, cinnamon roll, burger snd the salmon!

Finally got to checkout SoBo and the food did not disappoint! To start we had the Meatballs which were so juicy. They came with a generous dollop of ricotta and the most delicious tomato sauce with crispy bread. For drinks I got a dirty grey goose martini which came strong and decently priced. The main courses included the SoBo burger and the chicken pita sandwich. Both were so good and hit the spot. The chicken was so juicy and seasoned to perfection. Our server was great, and shout-out to the bartender for making delish martinis. I just wish the inside was a little nicer and had a more lively vibe to. We came on a Saturday with a reservation which I don't really think we needed. Overall the food is truly delicious and a must try in fed hill.

My friend and I had been wanting to try this place out for a while - and so glad we did!! She got a sandwich with a side of pesto salad, and I got the GF chicken. LOVE that they label on the menu what is GF and vegetarian, etc. They seem to have super cute and fun weekly specials (pasta monday, tapas tuesday, wine wednesday, thursday burger night, rose saturdays), and my friend and I found the drink prices to be pretty reasonable. Service was good/fast, ambiance was great. Nothing to critique!

It doesn't get any better than this for a quiet and quaint café in a somewhat bro-y and boisterous Fed Hill! I don't get up here at all--and much has changed. But SoBo recalls an earlier era, kind of the '90s, when life was slower and places to be by oneself to reflect or with a small group to share like with were typical. I ordered iced tea and a quick side of scotched broccoli to quell my hunger from first strolling the area. But the PEI mussels in curry broth with extra toasted bread to sop was divine and a rare treat for me! Efficient service, as well. Single, group and family friendly. Only two demerits: one, for a dimly lit hallway to the barely legible W and M for the bathrooms. The other demerit is for the Old West bathroom painting with cowboy-hatted John Wayne's face in the sky. I think his kind of macho, like Stallone's, is quite passé, plus Wayne's ignorant comments over the years about certain minorities makes his presence in a very personal space a little depressing. I'd lose the Wayne painting, as not expected in such an otherwise most-welcoming and enjoyable café.

I have been here a lot and always enjoy myself. Last night my wife and I tried their tapas menu. We decided that it wouldn't be enough food for our dinner so we split 4 tapas as an appetizer. It ended up being a bit more food than we expected, so I actually think it would work for a main. We tried an order of muscles (good), the meatball (also good), the empanadas (fine but underwhelming), and the Brussels sprout (very good 10/10). Overall very happy with them. I got a burger and my wife got a shrimp pita. Both great. We got a few different drinks, all good but the sangria was a bit sweet for my taste. Will definitely be back. If we do tapas again I don't think we need to order so much food :p that said, the Brussels sprouts were the highlight. Might just order those next time.
