Soho Cafe is a combination cafe and art gallery. Paintings and prints fill the vast waiting room, and paintings surround you in the restaurant. Prints were reasonably priced, and the local paintings were a little on the pricey side.
We were able to be seated right away for lunch around 1:00, but were move from one table to another, to another while each seating area got closed off to wait staff. They weren't friendly about it, as they asked us to move and our waitress wasn't especially cordial either. Actually seeming to be annoyed that we would bother them with our business.
But the food turned out to be pretty good.
I had the Grilled Vegetable Focaccia sandwich with the house salad:
Grilled Vegetable Focaccia ………..9.95
eggplant, zucchini, red peppers, & onion with sun-dried tomatoes & herbed Boursin goat cheeses blend
on warm focaccia.
I opted for it without the cheese and it was a great choice. The sandwich was served with a choice of side; either house salad, chips and a pickle, or southwestern potato salad or 3 bean-corn salad.
The vegetables were grilled fresh and with a sun-dried tomato-herb sauce, which together tasted like garden fresh pizza. The sandwich was truly made by the foaccia bread -- it was very fresh and fitting for the sandwich.
This was also very filling and half of the sandwich went to my meat eater who also agreed it was very tasty and reminded him of fresh veggies on homemade pizza crust.
My meat heater had the Mom's Meatloaf Sandwich:
Mom’s Meat Loaf………..9.50
on warm Kaiser roll with Russian dressing, lettuce, & tomatoes.
He ate the whole thing, very eagerly, and said it was fantastic.
Bottom line up front: The food here is really good, as well as the art. The wait staff though is not so much -- quite frankly rude and off-putting, to the extent that I probably won't be back. It could have been the rain clouds in an otherwise sunny city so I'd give it a try if its your first time in Savannah. But I wouldn't wait in line.
