Verdict: Our expert take on SOMA Eats
Food (8.2 out of 10)
mentioned by 93% of the guests
When it comes to the food, this spot is clearly hitting all the right notes! With a fantastic score of 8.2 and customer satisfaction soaring at 88.9%, diners are consistently impressed. People rave about the fresh salads, delicious and healthy bites, and diverse menu.
The ingredients are top-notch, and dishes like the salmon green goddess salad and lentil protein bowl are consistently praised for being flavorful and tasty, making it a great spot for a satisfying meal. However, out of 36 comments, only 2 pointed out minor issues. A specific honey sumac dressing wasn't a hit for everyone, and some felt there were limited vegetarian options.
While the menu is diverse, those with specific dietary needs might want to check ahead, but these are small points compared to the overwhelmingly positive feedback.

Value (6.3 out of 10)
mentioned by 29% of the guests
Looking at value, it seems guests appreciate the general affordability and find the overall price to be on par with expectations. With a moderate score of 6.3, its not bad, but customer satisfaction is a bit more mixed at 50%, based on 2 positive comments out of just 4 total. So, while some find it reasonable, others might have different thoughts.
However, theres a clear point of contention: the drinks. One customer specifically mentioned that the drinks were pricey, which is the sole negative comment among the 4 total. This suggests that while the food might be reasonably priced, you might want to watch out for the beverage menu.

Amazing Salad and Great Sandwiches
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic, especially with their amazing salmon green goddess salad. My taste buds truly felt like they died and went to heaven; I wish all salads tasted this wonderful. They also offer a wide selection of drinks that you can pick out yourself from their fridge display.
The food in general is great. Last time I visited, I had a turkey sandwich that was also really great.
