It was ice cold near the door, had to wear a coat. The show on 14 Feb was unique and entertaining. Excellent musicians. The diversity! The food was very good, the cheese cake and the squares for... I tried everything! I'll go again. It was a good night out. Thank you. Greg. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

A nice little resturant/party space/caterer. I must confess that we really sent them through the wringer one day and they did nothing but impress! For dining in, the price is decent with daily specials. They make a pretty decent burger too. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

My father’s 70th birthday was held at San Souci, and I could not have been more disappointed. First, the food was terrible. Everyone I spoke to echoed my experience with the chicken: it was so dry it was inedible. It had obviously been cooked earlier and reheated for too long in the oven (probably left over from an event earlier in the week), and I couldn’t even cut it with a steak knife. The vegetables were way undercooked and not seasoned, and the prime rib was nearly raw. When I spoke to the chef after, he seemed angry, but agreed to make some accommodation for the poor quality (they took half the price off the 10 chicken plates). There was a nice selection of teas on the dessert table, but no hot water to make them. I expected a carafe of coffee and boiling water for tea, and when we asked, they brought out a couple individual cups of tepid water. The servers were sweet but clearly not prepared for a group. And 14 of our guests cancelled at the last minute due to a blizzard. My mother (who lives on a government pension and saved for a year for this) knew she would have to pay for those plates, but when she asked if she could take some of the leftovers home, she was told no. I would never go to this restaurant again, and would strongly advise people looking for a place to host an event look elsewhere.
