    I just celebrated my birthday with friends at Pera Soho. 1- They were super clear on communication and provided answers to every question I had while booking. 2- The entire staff is very sweet and accomodating. Our waiter (why the hell did I not get his name - he was a younger, Latino gentleman) is doing his job with love or at least that's how he shows it. Despite the 20% tip being automatically added due to large group size, he kept going above and beyond. Normally when the tip is included in the bill, you don't get this level of service at other restaurants! 3- The food was DELICIOUS! 4- The venue has a very beautiful setting. It easily accomodates larger groups and yet still has a cozy enough vibe for a romantic dinner too. The outdoor patio looked very nice, though buried under snow when we went. I definitely wanna come back for the patio once the weather is nicer.
