Everyone was very friendly. Cocktails were very good. My wife had the tenderloin with mushroom risotto and I had the mahi mahi with a shrimp sauce… both were excellent. Did not have any oysters, but will next time.., they looked awesome.

Let me start by saying we were heavily advertised for the Father’s Day brunch and we were excited to go. I called to make a reservation for 3:00 PM and specifically asked if the buffet would close at 3:30 or if we were ok as long as we started eating before 3:30. We were told it was all you can eat until you were full. We were sat down right away but we had to ask after about fifteen minutes if we had a server because no one has been to the table to get drinks or greet us. Finally, our server came and was very apologetic. It was advertised as an oyster bar but to get oysters it was so difficult. They came on a plate with two. We had to constantly ask for more and the ladies behind the oyster counter were so unbelievably rude. They acted like they had no idea we were asking for oysters. Our server had to help us a few times ask. Out of six paid adults at $47.99 each, we maybe got a dozen oysters total. The entire staff with the exception of Aubrey, our server, were very pointedly rude and even pointed our way when talking to each other in Spanish. We were shocked when they refused to film anymore oyster requests at promptly 3:30 p.m. exactly what we asked before making a reservation. There wouldn’t even have been a way to complain as our server was the only English speaking person in the restaurant. The rest of the food was so so. Overall I cannot believe these people charged us $50 person for what we got. To be clear, our server was very nice once she realized she had a table. The rest of them however, awful. Don’t waste your time or money.

It was a real treat to experience Peruvian food in NE GA. My husband and I are very familiar with this cuisine and it was authentic and delicious. The restaurant is very nice and the decor is contemporary and lively. There is an outside area surrounded by water features that would be enjoyed by large parties. We will definitely come back and have shared this restaurant with friends.

The service was excellent! Chris made us feel welcome and did all he could to meet our needs. However, the food was very disappointing. Not really Peruvian food as we are familiar with. And to make matters worse, the price!! We spent more than we had anticipated.

Soco is a great little restaurant in Gainesville. The food and service were amazing, we got try new dishes, and the drinks were amazing. They are also child friendly so everyone in our group (from 68 to 9 years old) loved it.
