Best Casual Restaurants in SOMA

We had a party of 10 to celebrate my husband’s dinner. Lovely service, delicious food family-style that they coursed out with accompanying changes of clean plates. Great communication about the pacing. I also ordered a cake to be delivered to the restaurant. They were readily accommodating and let me know as soon as I arrived that my cake had been delivered earlier in the afternoon as planned. We sat in a space upstairs where you can see the rest of the restaurant but had some noise separation.

Outstanding server. Very professional and courteous. Though it was a lunch booking, we were not rushed. He made sure we are served with drinks and have needed time to review the menu. Both tomatoes and mushroom soups were yummy. The salad portion was generous too.

Marlowe is just perfect!! my Bestie and I were there for breakfast this morning, and our first impression was this place is so cute and intimate. The service was impeccable, the food was so good. She had a fried green tomatoes and polenta, I had the caramelized onion burger. We loved it so much that after we went to the museum, we went back for a drink afterwards. Excellent spot, very welcoming and super special ♥️

This place is all about the food. Ignore the menu, it's just there to provide familiar options. Talk to your server. They'll find something for you that will delight. The decor is standard diner decor, it isn't the point. The seating looks like something from the 1950s, but again, the seating isn't the point. The food is the point, and the food is delightful.

Great ambiance and vibe. I wish they had more food selections but overall the food was good.
