Soho Restaurant and Bar - Food VIC

5 /5 Nick: Food is exceptional, atmosphere is perfectly blended and the customer service is perfect to a fault. So; let’s break it down… Atmosphere: ***** Lunch atmosphere. Looking at the outside tables for the sun dwellers, and the internal shade lovers. This place can accommodate the chill sun vibe or the in house dining you want. The decor, especially the interior, is dripping with high tone critique and Italian excellence. The best of all, the shade blocks (centre placed) provide a great divide from those who want an intimate lunch date, from the casual sunbathing people-watchers. Really incredible use of space. Excellent. Customer Service: **** The restaurant was about half full when we attended lunch. The service staff were very attentive, caring, excellent to deal with but seemed to not have sectioned service areas. We were check on by 3 different representatives, all of which were excellent but felt over serviced and over stressed to perform. Their dedication to their craft was excellent and definitely top tier, but one to one personalisation service adds care as well as investment in your customers. Outstanding work. Food (why we are here): ***** Order: Bruschetta (Entree), Pork Belly (Entree), Pappardelle (Main) & Pollo In Bianco (Main) Bruschetta (Entree): This was the most incredible freshly cooked Bruschetta I have had for a long while. I took 3 pictures of it, I was that impressed. The tomato’s were rich, organic and the herbs and balsamic were all on point. The fresh, fire cooked bread really was the Game winner! Highly recommend! Pork Belly (Entree): Was a juicy indulgence that was cooked perfectly. The addition of the pumpkin mash and chimichurri worked as an excellent contrast. Recommend for Pork lovers. Pappardelle: Requested Parmesan but this was not because it lacked flavour. The dish alone was full of flavour but that little bit of fresh Parmesan really took it over the top! The lamb melted on the tongue, the pasta was exceptional and the sauce was rich and delicious! Highly recommend! Pollo In Bianco: Delicious mushrooms in a creamy mustard wine sauce that you soak up with the chicken. The chicken was cooked perfectly, juicy and tender. The pesto added a nice herbal cut to the richness but it was limited - if you try to keep it even, the round flavours all work together brilliantly. Highly recommend! Overall: ***** Over servicing is not a fault, it shows excellent dedication to craft. Everything about this establishment points to their want of absolute perfection for their customers and their experience. The food is exceptional, the atmosphere is dynamic mix of sophistication and sun-fun social (lunch). It really was excellent, Thank Soho restaurant and bar!

5 /5 Amanda McCarthy: Soho is a lovely Italian restaurant and bar perfectly located on the south bank of the River Yarra in Melbourne city centre with riverside views. Attentive and friendly wait staff. Quick dinner service. Delicious food. Competitively priced. We had a great evening.

5 /5 Srujani Panda: Core memories formed. Soho is our go to pre-game stopover on the way to concert/gigs in the city. Spicy margarita is to die for, an old fashioned classy! Food is hearty and warm. We usually get the Burrata entree and Buffalo pizza. Love love the place!

4 /5 Ramsey Samad: We visited Soho yesterday and had a great experience overall. The food was outstanding. We started with the bruschetta and calamari, both of which were excellent. The calamari in particular stood out. Despite being deep fried, it was light, crispy, and not oily at all. Highly recommended. For the main, we ordered the buffalo pizza and it was exceptional. Easily one of the better pizzas I’ve had, with a great base, quality ingredients, and perfect balance of flavours. The only downside was the music volume. It was very loud and we struggled to hear each other speak. I would recommend avoiding seats directly under the speakers, as this did impact the experience. Overall, fantastic Italian food and well worth a visit, especially for the pizza.

5 /5 Preesha: We celebrated our intimate wedding dinner last weekend at Soho and we had an amazing time! From the initial planning day to the dinner, Soho has been beyond accomodating. Our host on the day was very helpful and ensured that our guests were attended to. The food was 10/10 and our guests definitely appreciated the 1m long pizza. The vibe is always enjoyable at Soho. Thank you to the team for making our big day special! We will definitely be back soon. ⭐️
