Sister - Charlotte

I always feel like I want to be taken care of when I go to this restaurant with my sister in the city. The restaurant offers delicious food for brunch and lunch. It is a formal bistro that I have visited several times. The restaurant is owned by the same people as Sol Gastro Lounge, which is located directly above, so I knew it had to be great. The interior is modern and elegant, and there is a secret speakeasy room to check out. The customer service is always amazing every time I visit for brunch or lunch. The French toast is a must-try for brunch. Some of my favorite lunch items are the olive oil fries, lamb skewer burgers, and zucchini feta fritters. If the weather is nice, they have a rooftop terrace that many people may not be aware of. I can't wait to come back and try their dinner menu.

We ordered multiple items from the menu, but they were sold out by 2 o'clock. Both my friend and I had to choose something else, and when our food finally arrived, my friend had already left. The waiter kept assuring us he hadn't forgotten about us, but by the time he came to talk to us, everything was already eaten. He then gave us a chocolate cake and mentioned that they had prepared the ceviche incorrectly and it was unavailable. Despite this, he did not offer my friend a replacement option. The only positive aspect of the meal were the fries, which is the only reason why this restaurant is receiving 2 stars.

Unfortunately I can’t even review the food or drinks. I booked a reservation for tonight, and we sat for 25 minutes before flagging down a server for water. We waited a total of 55 minutes before leaving because we still didn’t have our cocktails. The server failed to acknowledge us or provide an update on the status of our drinks after walking by 5+ times. It was a standard Friday night, not overly busy, but a complete disaster. We had high hopes because we love Soul, but would certainly not recommend.

The food was amazing! Loved the winter halloumi salad, gigantes, flatbread, and olive oil fries. Our drinks were also delicious and well balanced. Can't wait to go back.

The sound system is nicely overhead so you can easily listen and still have a lovely conversation. The coffee, music and pastries went very well together.
