This cozy spot on the lower east side is very trendy with its gem named cocktails and seasonal menus. It is clearly incredibly popular as tables turn over quickly and there is never an empty seat. The food comes quickly and is deeply flavorful. The menu consists of dishes that can be harder to find, even in a cultural hub like NYC. I do wonder if lunch service is a little less bustling as at times I found it difficult to hear my dinner partner. I also wish they would tell you about the QR code for the food menu as it is on a physical drinks menu and that’s a bit confusing. Overall I’m glad I made it to Soothr and look forward to trying their sister restaurant Sappe soon.

The food was good, but maybe a bit simple for the price. Protein is not included in most entrees, which makes it more expensive. Portion sizes are smaller than normal. The place is cozy, and the service is good, but we suspect they had some staff shortage issues. The AC didn’t seem to be working as it got quite hot inside.
