soyka restaurant

a great place in miami for a happy hour, spend quality time with friends and listen tolivejazz. it has outdoor seating and an efficient service. although soyka is a well-known restaurant, we thought its food was not special. the menu ranges from pasta to hamburgers, maybe that's the reason why none of its dishes really stand out.

what we liked the most: turkey meatballs

soyka, my go to date night restaurant. they've changed their menu several times but as long as they continue having the stuffed lobster ravioli on the menu i'll be there. the side alley is very quaint and thelivejazz is always a hit. you can't go wrong taking a date here!

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 was good as 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 soothinglivemusic.     soyka restaurant bar & lounge 5556 ne 4th
