soyka restaurant

live music and a chill, laid back and cozy atmosphere is what drew me into soyka.   it was a very late dinner and i was starving so it was right down to business; meaning no cocktails, no appetizers. i decided to go with one of the specials for the night, tilapia stuffed with blue crab. the idea of tilapia turned me off, but i figured if it was stuffed with crab, it wouldn't be so bad. when the dish arrive it was crab (which was tasty) with a piece of bland tilapia on top. it had potential (was cooked right), but was disappointing due to lack of flavor.   my fiancé on the other hand, really enjoyed his steak meal. he loved his.    dessert, an almond apple tartlet wasgoodas well. i wish it was warmer, but the crumble on top was great. the ice cream was creamy!   overall it was a great experience, i think i just picked the wrong dish so i am definitely interested in coming back, trying something different, and dining to soothing live music.     soyka restaurant bar & lounge 5556 ne 4th

nice menu. great atmosphere with live music.goodquality and value. friendly service. first time here. highly recommend. in fact this whole complex is great with other recommended places next door.

twice and still loving it. originally went two years ago during miami spice.. and i will tell you i was impressed!goodambiance, food was great i had the salmon, marshmallow gnocchi, fried green tomatoes, and a slice of cake.

everyone in our party loved their meal. the service was great and prices while not cheap where still representative of the quality of our meal.

one of the best burgers in town. unfortunately, the olive oil they use, can be any average quality vegetable oil, except a reasonable quality olive oil, necessary to write, that service shuold be better, my server was nothing else than a bad educated old lady. but i will be back to eat the burger with agoodamerican red wine.

gorgonzola fries and gnocchi - so delicious. i have been to soyka a number of times, and i keep coming back. the alleyway, if that's what it's called, on the north side of the restaurant provides a nice private dining experience, but you can also eat at the bar and in the main dining area. during my most recent experience my friend's 5 year-old girl spilled her sprite all over the floor and her jacket. the waiter not only cleaned up the spill, but carefully cleaned her jacket for her. withgoodcustomer service like this, and delicious gnocchi, who could resist?

great restaurant in the design district. after reading all the reviews about soyka we were a littlle wary about visiting this restaurant...but were pleasantly surprised. the crowd is varied from people in their twenties upto sixties. the decor is industrial and looks alright. there was music in the background, but not too loud and we could carry out a conversation. there were plasma screen tvs at the bar showing a football game but were not loud or obtrusive in any manner. this is not a sports bar by any means. the service was very good. the best part was the food. everything we ordered including the tuna tartare, skirted steak, pasta bolognese all the way to desert...brownie ala mode, were excellent. price wise was reasonable pretty much throughout the menu. parking is by free valet and secure. i recommend this restaurant highly. the brunch menu looksgoodtoo!
