SoCal Kitchen + Bar

Apps = incredible. The Californian rock shrimp sushi is delicious. The guacamole is phenomenal. The tuna is chefs kiss. The green salad with beets is tasty. I also loved all of the holiday decorations.I'll likely be back because I love the apps here, but our experience was much lower than usual this Friday. I'm not sure if our waitress was having a tough day, but she was super stoic and rolled her eyes every time that we ordered/asked a question about the menu. I waited tables for years, and I've eaten at many restaurants, and I've never left feeling the way this server left us. It was uncomfortable and not welcoming. Did we still tip over 20%? Yes. Did she ever refill my water? No.I have been here a handful of times & usually get the coconut sorbet because it reminds me of the kind I've enjoyed in Hawaii, but this time, the sorbet had that thick, almost gelatinous or syrupy texture on top like it had been sitting or frozen for a while. So, I'd recommend skipping the dessert, and heading to Jeni's across the street.

I made a reservation for brunch but they weren't super packed. I liked the vibe. Great decor and furniture with mirrors on one side of the wall, interesting light fixtures, and beautiful tiles on the floor and at the bar. It's got a classy feel without feeling too formal.My friend and I shared a couple entrees: the burger (we added an egg to it) and the smoked chicken hash. The burger was good. Seasoned and paired well with the truffle fries. The chicken hash was okay. Underwhelming and had a similar flavor to something else I've had before.My friend got a Bloody Mary while I tried the For the Win cocktail as recommended by our server.It's a cute place! I'd come back again as the menu had a whole mix of different things to try.

Tried this with a group of friends and everybody was very pleased. The cocktails were delicious. The guac was super fresh and had that perfect beach/ California feel to it. The sushi rolls were bigger than expected and really yummy. The avocado one could have used a little less avocado but it was still really good

Yum! We made a reservation, early. This restaurant is very popular. They're very diverse on their menu. Hi energy , great music. It has a super fun weekend vibe. Casual dress . Street parking. Great food and a super delicious decadent, dark chocolate cake Thank you SoCal. We will be back .

Came here with a friend for a birthday dinner and we had such a lovely time!! The service here is phenomenal, very kind and knowledgeable of the menu. Our server made some great suggestions and we were glad we took them.Started with the potato bread--highly recommend. Very flavorful and comforting. Didn't know i needed this in my life. The chopped salad was also a light and refreshing choice. Main- 40 Yolk Tagliatelle, super super good. It's like a fettuccine cheesy pasta with mushroom and chicken. Would absolutely get this again. Got treated to olive oil cake for dessert and we were so glad we saved room for it! The hint of orange in it was so delish.5/5

Our server Aubrey was great when we walked in accommodated a party of 8 and we were swiftly taken care of.Opted to get the poke tuna and a sushi roll. Poke came with chips and was a great starter for me and tasted fresh. The sushi roll was super delicious i just can't remember the name of it!!We also got the olive oil cake which was pretty good but we were so full!! Side note: the cold brew w oat milk is a hit as well.This place was good vibes, food and service.

This food was incredibly delicious - I was honestly blown away at the freshness and quality of ingredients - then I realized the concept is literally mimicking that of a California restaurant and DUH - of course it was. But l, to give credit where credit is due, they truly executed on all levels. Service was great and the restaurant vibe was busy and fun on a Friday evening. The ONLY reason I didnt give 5 stars is because the mussels were very very small and very small portioned - I'm glad my husband ordered the sushi roll to start or I would've been hungry afterward. Flavors were all there and I would definitely come back! Thanks for having us when we visited Columbus.

I've been to Del Mar a few times and the setting is nice and the food is generally good. Ive had some experiences with horrible service and generally I think the service isnt super great here.In my most recent visit I went for brunch- the burrito was pretty good, my dining partners thought their dishes were generally good.

Business dinner in the Short North. Scallops were calling my name. They didn't disappoint. Delicious. The service was good and the atmosphere is always trendy.
