Well, I did not like the fact that there were a lot of people that reserved a table for the same hour (maybe a problem with the website? they did not explain), so everyone had to wait. It was an unpleasant experience for the Thanksgiving day. The food was ok, but too expensive for what it was. Our server was nice, but it did not compensate.

We waited with our reservation an hour to be seated. The meals were delivered with hourly delays. The hostess was clearly drunk.

Waited over 3 hours total for our meals and that’s with ordering ahead. Food was ok but my steak was cooked beyond well done when I asked for medium, turkey came out cold. Waited another 45 minutes for our dessert to go and just left without it. I went here because of the reviews but it did not even live up to a 3 star.

Considering how full they were they did a good job bringing the main course out while still hot. From soup to dessert each course very flavorful and well presented. We sat in the outer area which was considerably quieter than inside.

Our dessert took 20 minutes to come out and then 3 minutes after the servers set the plates down the waitress said we need to pay the bill because people were waiting for the table. We were rushed through the meal. Don’t think we will return.

The Thanksgiving menu was fantastic, and the service was great. The restaurant is a little cramped, but overall, it was an amazing experience. We would certainly visit again when we are in town.

The food was amazing the portions were a little small but we ordered a lot so its okay and the service was excellent. Our server Stella was so friendly and sweet. Even though she looked very busy she always made time to check up on us and make sure we were happy with everything. Will definitely be back!

Great small plates that aren't that small. The mussels were outstanding! The only small downside is that it gets very busy so you may have to wait a bit between your starters and your main dishes. BTW there are two sister restaurants with very similar names but they are 10 blocks apart: Sojourn Restaurant and Sojourn Social Restaurant. Make sure you have directions to the right one.

The food was pretty good but the overall service and management was poor. The waitress took our order, and basically never checked back with us. My husband and I both ordered entreees and when they served him his meal, they did not have mine. They never returned for 20 minutes. We asked for the manager and was told there was none. We had to ask another waiter for help and eventually my order came out after my husband was completely done with his because it took soo very long.
