   We enjoyed our lunch at SoCal Kitchen. Our server, Breonna, was very pleasant, made helpful suggestions, and was attentive. The food (chicken sandwich and 40 yolk Tagliatelle pasta) was very enjoyable , although $25 for the pasta dish for brunch seemed a bit steep. The fries that came with the sandwich were very yummy. We will return.

   The restaurant is extremely loud, with seemingly no dampening efforts. After I was seated, it took maybe 10 minutes to be greeted by our server and even longer to get some water. Our server was courteous and helpful, however seemed surprised by my lack of wanting to order a drink, other than water as he asked several times. Food came out fairly quickly, however the rice on the sushi rolls was very thick and overly mushy. Ceviche was good, although I ran out of chips to eat it with and gave up on trying to get my server's attention to ask for me. In summary, I would not return, as the plates were expensive and not quality as I had expected.

   Food was pretty good, nothing incredible. Maybe the most unique thing we had was the edemame dumplings, which was really good but kind of one note. Could have used some salt and spice. Had an omelette, bennies, açaí, ceviche, said dumplings, and a giant dry cinnamon roll.

    We loved SoCal!!! Our server, Allysa, was so friendly and helpful when offering suggestions. We would not have ordered the shrimp ceviche without her recommendation and was seriously delicious. The restaurant is beautiful and fun. Everything we had was so good. We will be back!
