    We were sat right away for our reservation. No one came to the table for 15 minutes. We ordered food and drinks at the same time. Drink came out right before the food. We both had salmon and it was very undercooked. We like our salmon medium and pink. This was nearly raw. My daughter said she liked the rice more than the salmon because it was actually warm. Very disappointing experience. The menu and restaurant seem great…the execution was poor

    We went for breakfast on our anniversary! The staff was so kind, gave us an adorable card and our server offered us free dessert on her! The food was all delicious and the coffee and cocktails were amazing as well! It was super empty right when they opened at 10 but got busier as we were wrapping up around 11

    Great server, MJ 113. Food was good, large servings and drink reasonable. Cool atmosphere but the noise was way too much

    We enjoyed our lunch at SoCal Kitchen. Our server, Breonna, was very pleasant, made helpful suggestions, and was attentive. The food (chicken sandwich and 40 yolk Tagliatelle pasta) was very enjoyable , although $25 for the pasta dish for brunch seemed a bit steep. The fries that came with the sandwich were very yummy. We will return.
