Best Family Style Restaurants in SOMA

54 Mint deserves another look. Pre-pandemic, the place was hopping at lunch - now with Westfield pretty much gone, so are the crowds. We were a party of six and had a great time - split the suppli and fried smelts as appetizers. Then porchetta, carbonara, saltimbocca, pasta with the rags - everyone was happy with their food. The neighborhood looks a bit forlorn with so few people around, but will be back to 54 Mint for the food!

Our meal was fresh and flavourful, the 7 course tasting menu was great to try a variety of Turkish and Mediterranean dishes. Servers were extremely attentive and accomodating, I never had to wait for a water refill or look around for help. The atmosphere was elevated and vibrant, I’ll be back soon!

We attended immediately after our engagement on pier 7. Our waitress was Sarah, she was amazing and went above and beyond! Couldn’t have dreamt for better service or food ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Some of the tables around us were so noisy that we could not hear our own conversation

Wonderful lunch, service and lovely space. My new favorite go to restaurant for business or romantic lunch.
