- rehearsal brunch, party of 30
My wife and I had our bridal rehearsal brunch at Soho Diner last Friday for 30 of our guests and the brunch exceeded every expectation. The event team was so accommodating, the staff onsite was so helpful and kind, the food was FANTASTIC, and the vibes were incredible. Our guests could not stop talking about how great the food was (especially the hashbrowns) and they loved the retro diner aesthetic. It was such an intimate and special event to kick off our wedding weekend. It was my dream to have a wedding related event at a diner and Soho Diner made that dream come true!
- bachelorette party, party of 11
We came here for a bachelorette party & had SUCH an amazing time. All of the workers were SO kind & even offered us complimentary champagne. We had 11 girls & they easily accommodated us. Everyone’s food was delicious & the drinks were so cute. Very reasonable prices & cute decor. I recommend this place for fun occasion. 10/10
- late night group dinner, party of 13
Came in late at night with a 13-person party of rowdy high-schoolers--the service was excellent, the food was phenomenal (perfectly cooked steak and milkshakes with the perfect thickness). Might be a bit on the pricier side for a diner but worth every penny!
- group dinner, party of 7
A bit overpriced for the quality of food, had a group of 7 and could not be serviced until all parties from the group was there, so we had to wait over a hour to be served. Will not return.
- holiday party group
Was here with a big group after a weekday holiday party. Despite our group size and being a bit not-sober, we were well taken care of here. Staff were awesome, and the food is pretty good (if from a limited, kinda pricey menu). Place is super clean and has that old school diner feel.
