SOMO Manayunk

I give SOMO a 4.3 rating. Mainly because the chicken for the sandwich was not the best, the meat was rubbery and chewy. The wings sauce was good, but the chicken wing itself lacked flavor. Everything else tasted delicious. The service was great, but wish we could have been in the main dining area. This was on a Monday so there was a DJ. We were on the side with low lighting which was nice but not where the action was. I would definitely come here again. I love wings so I hope the next time I try it, there is seasoning on the chicken and hoping this day was just not a good day.

Booked a reservation for a late birthday celebration with a couple of friends. Been wanting to try this place for a while and thought it would be a good vibe and option for brunch. Make sure to give yourself time finding parking given the area and make sure at least a few people from your party are there so you can get seated immediately.Cool ambiance and decor - I like the style of the booth seating. Staff were all very friendly and personable. Our waitress was cool and helpful when asking for her opinion on a few things. They moved pretty quickly with food and drink service, and everything came out right (temperature of food, items we ordered,etc.). Overall, we all enjoyed what we ordered. My Crab Cake Benedict had a good seasoning and taste to it and having them add peppers&onions to my potatoes was the way to go. My friends said what they ordered was pretty good too. One friend asked for her wings to be fried hard but realized maybe she didn't need to do that, but they were still pretty good - the Sriracha Honey sauce was tasty and a good balance of the two flavors. And my other friend said the Chicken and Waffles were also good, he just didn't end up using the sauce that came with it because of the consistency (it has a good taste though!)Liked the place, would come back again for brunch or for one of the theme nights/happy hour and recommend checking in out!

SOMO has been on my list forever, finally stopped in on a Saturday night. Bar seating was available immediately and drinks and food came out quickly. Such a cute little spot. The honey siracha wings were great but babyyyy, these disco fries stole the show. Me and my friend were both shocked at how much we liked them. That gravy slapped! And of course, the lychee martini did exactly what it needed to do.

Went on a Saturday for a girls brunch with a group. The mimosa tower was a delight. The food was mediocre. The stuffed French toast itself, was good. However the fruit and the "glaze" were better left off. The "glaze" was a bright orange liquid that had the viscosity of juice. The fruit did not taste ripe, it was bland and slightly hard. I simply put it on the side after a few unappetizing bites. My friend has the crab cake Benedict. No complaints about the eggs or crab cakes. However, she said the bread was quite tough. Would not return for the food, but would for the drinks, the strawberry-orange mimosa was great! And there were numerous other flavors

My friends and I are on the hunt for the best happy hour in Philly and SOMO was one of the establishments on our list of places to revisit. We frequented on a "Taco Tuesday" before our HH review. Let's start with the basics - there's street parking available and two happy hour time slots Monday through Friday (4:30-6pm & 9-10pm). Aesthetically, it's a very hip vibe but romantic enough for a date night. As far as our happy hour review was concerned, the food choices were limited. I tried the FROSÉ and crispy Asian wings, both were delicious! Sadly, there were only two additional food options so we decided to order a few things off the dinner menu. We tried bruschetta, meatballs, disco fries, calamari and nachos. These items were an average of $14 each. My favorite was the meatballs, but sadly the other items missed the mark for me at the price point. Our server was friendly & attentive, which was a plus! Overall, despite the pricey bill we enjoyed the ambiance and the yummy FROSÉ is enough for me to return & try a dish off the dinner menu. I've been eyeing the braised short ribs!

This place is HAPPENING on Saturday for brunch so definitely make sure you have a reservation. Come with a group because they have mimosa towers that are quite amazing. It seems they're not super big on coffee, but their cold brew is on point. Highly recommend the Salmon BALT (bacon, avocado, lettuce, tomato) which is a beautiful and large fillet of salmon. The fries are finger-licking good too. Fair warning it is very loud inside with lively chatter, so something just to note. Will definitely be back some weekend soon!

SOMO was okay at best. We came here on a Saturday afternoon for brunch, and they were incredibly busy. We made a reservation for 1 pm but still had to wait a while to be seated, and once we were seated, it took another 20 minutes for a server to even stop by our table. We ordered 2 mimosa towers which are pretty pricey at $69 each and served at room temperature. In terms of the food, it was mediocre and took a while to come out after we placed the order.(2.5/5) Crab Cake Benedict: This was alright, but I would definitely not order it again. The crab tasted incredibly fishy, and the taste was just offputting. (3/5) Apple Cinnamon French Toast: The french toast had a decent flavor and came with many apple slices on top. There was a lot of whipped cream, which ended up melting and making the dish super soggy.

Was invite to SOMO for a graduation brunch. It was my first time there. I typically don't go to Manayunk because the parking is ridiculous, but brunch was at 12, and I found parking immediately. There was indoor and outdoor seating, but our reservation was for inside. It's not a huge place, but comfortable and spacious enough. The servers were very nice and patient. Our complete party was a few minutes late; however, they continuously checked on us, and the water refills were endless. Some places forget to refill your water, but they were on top of it. We started the order off backwards-ordered the Beignets first. They were ok, nothing like New Orleans, but the presentation was good. The salmon lox frittata was excellent as well as the Apple Cinnamon French Toast. I ordered the Crab Cake Benedict to go. I ate that the next day for breakfast. It was very flavorful. I wanted to get the bottomless mimosa, but not everyone was interested, and I am not a drinker. I just wanted to try it. Maybe next time. Overall, I would recommend SOMO. The service was quick, the staff was nice, and most importantly, the food was delicious. Til we eat again....

An amazing dining experience!Our food was all amazing! My table got the apple cinnamon French toast (sensational!), breakfast wrap (SO much food for such a great price!), and the tacos (delicious!). We also started with the strawberry-orange mimosa pitcher was plenty for 3 people and was so delicious! Highly recommend that flavor.We got to sit outside which was a lovely atmosphere.Our waitress was so kind and attentive!:) very fast service even though the restaurant was quite busy

Great spot, went on a late-night, and you would have not known. A firm candidate to be a go-to spot...
