Soho

So, my daughter, her father and I visited SoHo after playing at the Science Center, on a Sunday evening. The restaurant only had about two other customers so we had the dining room to ourselves. The vibe was chill and our server was awesome. He took his time with us and put extra detail into accommodating my little munchkin.
I ordered the Pittsburgher Chicken Salad which was decent, nothing to write home about. My significant other ordered the Meatloaf feature. His food looked so dry and inedible. He’s not the type to complain about his food to the server, but I am. So the server took the food away after he tasted the horrible looking good and encouraged him to order something different. So he ordered the fish sandwich. It was pretty decent however you could tell it was just frozen fish. Are my expectations to high? How hard could it be to dip a piece of fish in some batter and fry it. I was disappointed with the lack of freshness. The chicken breasts in my salad were square mechanically processed strips too.
Well, I don’t see a reason to go back there. Unless, I had the same server, because he was refreshing. Service isn’t what it used to be. Needless to say, it was «aite», nothing amazing.

Terrible. Been sitting at the bar for 15 minutes. Yet to be even looked at by a bartender. Terrible. Not even busy. Not recommended at all!!! Terrible service. Or lack there of.

Stopped by here before a concert at Heinz Field. We had 3 appetizers. The nachos were the worst I’ve ever had. 7 – 11 has better nachos. The So Ho Sampler was pretty good.

I was in town for an event at the Warhol museum and this place was a block walk although a long block from my hotel
It was Thursday night and there was plenty of open tables
Service was quick and the waiter friendly and attentive.
The back of the menu has the weekly specials. I choose one of those which was a lobster roll. As my side I chose onion rings. The rings were very good tasty and fresh. The lobster roll was good but had a bit too much mayo for my taste
My wife had shrimp fettuccine which she said was excellent. It looked very good
The drink and wine list is rather extensive.
Overall I thought the food and service was pretty good

My wife and I had left the Warhol museum and stopped in for a cocktail. The place was alive with people. Pretty good for an off season Saturday night with the Steelers away.
We ended up eating dinner and cleaning our plates. Good service. Good food. Good times!

We waited forever.
Our food wasn’t prepared properly (my husband’s salmon wasn’t cooked well like he asked. He sent it back and they literally just threw it in the microwave, heating the plate and leaving the inside still not cooked through…).
Our server was overwhelmed (after a Steelers Game, but still… you should be used to this with the location)
Giving a 2-​star because my salad was ok, but that’s about it. Definitely not coming back.

Good food, and good service. My only gripe is that they check you in using «No Wait» app, but won’t allow you to check in on your own. As season ticket holders, we’d eat here before every Pirates game, but the wait is too long. Every other restaurant on the North Shore allows you to check in via «No Wait.» SoHo just makes you wait…

We’ve been here a few times before pirates’ games. They have a slightly limited (but still large) menu on game days. Food is consistently pretty good. They have never gotten our order correct, however. Not a bad choice for a game day.

3.5 stars
Popped into here after visiting the Warhol Museum. This restaurant is close to the stadium, but fortunately it wasn’t crowded. The restaurant is very large and spacious inside. I imagine it gets packed during game days. We sat outside to enjoy the warm weather. I went for the Apple Raspberry Salad. It was crisp, sweet, a bit tangy, and enjoyable.
They have other items on the menu that caught my eye, such as the Jack Mac bites and pizza. Mmmmmmm. But maybe for next time! Good service, didn’t have to wait too long. I wouldn’t mind coming back… perhaps not during game time though!

So when I walked in to Soho last month for happy hour, a person in my party made a casual comment that this place never seems that busy when they walk by it. Little did we know that our group would discover exactly why this is the case during our visit. It’s especially noteworthy that I came with a large group that made a reservation with specific instructions about what we wanted. Our evening plans had been made well in advance, and Soho knew — or should have known — exactly how many people would be in our party, and when we would arrive. Most of all, they should have known we had not only asked for a table to be ready, we had asked for water and very specific appetizers to be ready for our group, as we would be hungry after the event we enjoyed before the happy hour.
Well, as you can probably guess from my rating, making a reservation and discussing and confirming our needs with the staff well in advance made absolutely no difference in the quality of our visit. In fact, I can summarize my entire visit here in two words: we waited.
We waited for them to confirm we had a table after we walked in at 7:15. We waited for the sever to come after they finally confirmed that yes, a reservation had been made. We waited for the server yet again after asking for drink menus. We waited for these drinks, and for water. And we waited for our pre-​ordered appetizers.
Absolutely nothing arrived in a timely manner. In the 35 minutes that I waited with the group, all I got was a water. None of the pre-​ordered appetizers even arrived while I was there, and many people waited 10 to 15 minutes for their other drinks. I was honestly astounded at how much the staff missed the mark with our reservations and requests. So I gave up, and left at 7:50 to find a better venue that was interested in providing me with a relaxing Friday night meal.
And all of that was on a night where the place was mostly empty! I can’t even imagine what the service must be like if it’s actually busy — and I certainly won’t be back to find out!

Wonderful spot for lunch, drinks, and pre– or post-​game fun. I’ve always had adequate, friendly service and great quality food. My friends/​family and I stick to the sandwiches and salads, but they have typical bar and grille fare with a Pittsburgh twist. It can seem a little pricey, but the quality is worth it, especially compared to other restaurants on the North Shore. It can be extremely crowded on game day, so make sure you get there early to get a spot at the bar, high-​top tables, or in the dining room. They also have some outdoor seating if the weather is nice enough.

My friend and I were looking for a bite to eat after we visited the Andy Warhol museum. Being so close to pnc park I was skeptical of all the restaurants. I was just expecting bland bar food. But I was delightfully pleased with my meal at soho.
As far as décor the place is nice. I don’t think you would actually have a restaurant like this in new york’s soho but it’s great for Pittsburgh.
I got a lemonade and a crab cake. I think they just gave me water and splashed some crystal light in it but nonetheless it was very refreshing. My crab cake was delicious. Very fresh with a zesty remoulade.

Nice location on federal street. Food was decent, but more importantly was quick. That’s important for anyone trying to hot up a game. Prices are high, but cheaper than eating in the stadium

If you’re dying for the recipe for their «Buffalo Macaroni and Cheese» than look no further! It was definitely some sort of boxed Mac & Cheese, with a chicken tender covered in Frank’s Red Hot on top. I have much higher expectations for food in a city that offers so many delicious options; I could have gotten an incredible mac & cheese at Meat and Potatoes for less money!

This place is awesome.
Tasty! Chicken cob salad is green, healthy, and very delicious. Any kind of salad is provided with a variety of sauces you can choose and my choice was blue cheese. It was good. + Chips and soup. I can’t remember the exact name of it but it’s cool. It was tomato soup with some cheese and you can find it on the top line of soup section of menu.
Cool! In the middle of the floor there is a great bar. You can enjoy cocktail during even daytime. Mine was beautiful combination of strawberry, perrier and vodka. Again, I forgot .
Sweet! All of the clerks were so kind. They kept asking me if I need something more in very gentle manner at the right time. Thanks to their fine manners, from when I arrived and was assured by the waitress to when I payed my bill, I felt comfortable even though I was alone all the time there.

Soho is right by my office, so I find myself there occasionally. Typically more than intended, and especially when we need a more neutral lunch spot. That sounds cruel, but it simply is what it is: a hotel restaurant & bar.
In the category of hotel restaurants, the selection is wide and diverse, and the quality is certainly better than others. However the price is definitely marked up for the audience (hotel guests have to eat somewhere, right?), and I have experienced issues with consistency.
Faults aside, the locale is convenient, and I do appreciate their diverse selection (some fusion-​inspired items, vegetarian options, fun sides, etc.). Make sure to check the back of the menu for the weekly specials. Each week the chef (s) will come up with 5ish unique items. These are certainly the gems of the menu, and often contain ingredients not found in the standard menu.

We were staying in the hotel upstairs, and the options for a late dinner on a cold and snowy Monday night seemed slim, so we decided to head downstairs to the hotel bar. That’s just what it is — a hotel bar. Good drink selection, diverse menu options. The restaurant was pretty empty (I blame the cold, snowy late Monday again) but nice to be able to converse and relax after traveling.
The Honey Barbecue Pulled Chicken was on the specials, and MAN was it special. I would return for that sandwich if I were in town again and they added it to their regular menu. The flavor was great without being too spicy, but it certainly wasn’t bland either. Hands down, one of the best pulled-​meat sandwiches I have ever eaten.
Overall, it was a good hotel bar. If we weren’t staying upstairs we probably wouldn’t have eaten there, but I am glad we did.

Just walking around the area and ran into this place. Nice big screen tv’s and lots of people… not over crowded, no wait. Still took awhile for our food to come out. I had the buffalo chicken wrap and Mr. had the quesadilla and wings. He said the quesadilla was just ok. My wrap was spicy and pretty good. Place cleared out pretty early for a Saturday night. Overall, service was slow, staff was friendly, and food was okay.

Meh.
I always hope for the best. I did not, however get the best. Although I would have to say the pretzel bite appetizer wasn’t bad. But I really don’t think there’s much you can mess up. The buffalo pierogies however, was a total miss.
I do not want to make any accusations, but they did not seem to be freshly made, maybe frozen pre-​made ones. And they were covered in hot sauce. It didn’t look appetizing, nor did it actually taste appetizing.
They have half off appetizer specials for food and $ 5 drinks. But all the special drinks were mixed, and I knew they would probably be way too sweet and frou frou for me.
I went with a glass of Malbec, which was a good choice. Actually, it was the best choice there. Maybe stick to beer or wine and you’ll be good to go here.

The dinner-​and-​a-​concert thing was getting unreal last year, but this would be our final outing of 2013. To top off our season of live experiences, we had one more Stage AE show to catch as well as stomachs to satiate beforehand according to protocol. I kept forgetting about a certain North Shore food-​and-​drink destination named Soho, so with them in mind, Kay, a mutual friend, and myself strolled on over after parking the car to see how they measured up.
The interiors invoke a noirish urban landscape not unlike Bruce Timm’s vision of Batman’s Gotham City or the city of Chester Gould’s Dick Tracy with a sparsely detailed skyline acting as the focus of the dining room. Swankiness be damned, our gracious and gifted server Jess treated us like Rat Packers despite our denim-​and-​band-​shirt attire, serving us above average food with agility, style, and congeniality.
To kick off the meal, our power trio shared a serving of Soho’s Thai Shrimp. On a bed of greens and lemon wedges came an octet of plump, reddened sweet/​sour prawns that dazzled our palate with their Asiatic/​Oceanic blend of sugar, sting, and brine.
Offering the proverbial «a little of everything,» Soho also crafts a fabulous Buffalo Chicken Pizza. It was a must, and in lust I fell, deeply…
A puffy, doughy, floury, artisan-​proud, stone-​baked crust held moist cubes of chicken breast, a typically tart tabasco sauce, and a a gloriously glutinous blend of mozzarella and provolone. At 12 inches around, this was a magic carpet ride to pizza pie paradise.
The Caramel Turtle Bundt Cake was almost akin to a chocolate sticky bun with its adhesive, candied walnuts. A scoop of vanilla cream soothed the heat and richness of this igneous breakfast treat turned dark and inverted, lacerations of caramel amplifying the sweetness with slightly sinister salty bent.
Soho: Far from So-​So.
