We visited SO.PA for the tasting menu and wine pairing dinner. The concept was intriguing but the wines were nearly undrinkable. The food was lovely yet very rich and meat heavy.

Sometimes a restaurant provides too much service. That was our most recent experience at Sopa. Too many visits to the table. Too many water refills (before the glasses were even close to empty), too many wine pours (we can do that, thanks), too many check ins. Let us enjoy the meal—too many interruptions of our conversations. The food was lovely, the setting superb. Just give your guests a little space.

Our party of four, including one vegan, had a wonderful dinner at Sopa. Every dish we had was delicious. The service was excellent and the outdoor dining area was beautiful. The place is expensive but not overpriced for the high quality food and experience. Highly recommended.

Pleasant ambiance. Attentive service. Both food and wine significantly overpriced. In the end, our meal was only mediocre. Recommend dining at other Palm Springs establishments where value is more in line with cost.
