    Scallops were undercooked, raw. Placed on some mush, tasted like bean purée with onions. Plate was unappetizing. Sliders which were the better quality ordered were cold on a napkin covering a dirty serving plate, I have to say the French fries were delicious. Salads are great. Our server was lovely, no complaints there. They have to do something with the drape which covers entrance. Every time door was opened, the Winter cold air rushed in.

    Have dined at this restaurant several times Xmas and now Valentines. Food and drinks always good and consistent. Last evening was a little slow getting the different courses. They got very busy in a short period of time. In all, my date and I had a great evening.

    We have been to Sojourn several times for both brunch and dinner and have never been disappointed. The food is delicious. The atmosphere pleasant and quiet and the prices reasonable. We recommend it highly and will definitely be back!

    A nice brunch menu with some creative and appealing options. Service was unremarkable and food OK. I appreciate that they let us linger over our meal, but overall not feeling a return here any time soon.

    Came here last week as a walk in, food and service was amazing, as well as last night . However, last week we noticed a man in a hat falling asleep at a table next to us. Tonight, the same man was just standing in the middle of the restaurant staring at people. We assume he is the manager or something, regardless it was very uncomfortable and strange. We won’t be returning for a third time.
