Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in SOMA

Always a delight to have dinner at Mathilde's French Bistrot. My French-Canadian family was impressed and Lena, the owner and restaurateur, was warm and welcoming. The steak frites was cooked just right, and my parents enjoyed their Halibut and Duck confit. The risotto exploded with flavor when my wife shared a taste with me. The ambience in either the patio or main dining room is pleasant, roomy enough to give a sense of privacy to each table/party, and we could talk to each other without having to raise our voices since the playlist of French chansons acted as pleasant accompaniment rather than loud headliner. I highly recommend you have a meal there before it closes for good on 12/31/2024. Sad to see them go...

May you be lucky enough to have Kristopher as your server. Thank you to all the servers and staff for working on this Thanksgiving holiday to make it special for so many of us. House of Prime Rib is our favorite place to celebrate holiday and special occasions, and their staff definitely makes us always feel right at home.

Julia outdoes herself each time! Whenever I eat here I feel I’m eating in a family home rather than a restaurant . The food is out of this world & comfy!

Consistently a great restaurant. Drinks and food are inventive and great quality.

Always excellent service and food! This hotel is a great place to stay, but the restaurant is also a neighborhood gem! The longtime staff are professional and friendly, and the restaurant shares a kitchen with the excellent Luce, meaning you’re likely to get a great meal! Reliably great place to spend your time, funds and calorie buget🤪
