Would Love to Go Back

by RIZBPalate

My girlfriends and I went to Soyka during Miami Spice month. Daniel was out server and he did a wonderful job at taking care of us.

The food came out all at once, our glasses were continuously refilled without having to ask for it, and everything tasted good for the price.

Great atmosphere, low lighting, background music was low enough that we could still hear ourselves talk. Soyka is great for a group gathering or romantic date. We all look forward to going back for more!

• Pros: Customer Service, Food, Abiance
• Cons: Can't think about one

My Favorite Place to Eat!

by cacastro

SOYKA! This is truly my favorite restaurant, hang-out and the place to meet friends. The prices are extremely reasonable, the food and service are always top notch. A very unusal atmosphere which feels more like NY than Miami and they are the pioneer in the neighborhood to which we are all thankful.

This is also one of the most diversed crowds I have ever scene. No matter who you are, no matter how you are dressed this is the place that will make you most comfortable.

I highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking for great food, impectable service, unusual atmosphere and just want to go out to have a fun time without any pretense

• Pros: FREE PARKING
• Cons: none

Family favorites and exotic fare from the man behind Van Dyke Cafe.

In Short
The cavernous dining room of concrete and a high-beamed ceiling contrasted by a polished terrazzo floor is filled in by plush booths and banquettes. The clientele is a mix of arty and more conservative diners. The focus of the menu is comfort food like Caesar salad and fried calamari for starters and entrees like grilled skirt steak with fries and roasted chicken. The dessert section rounds out the menu with such favorites as apple pie.

Uuugh!

This place gets worse with each visit. Loud obnoxious waiters telling you how little they make (is that MY problem?)Mediocre food, LOUD room (BAD acoustics) It's no surprise that the Coconut Grove location failed: they would never put up with the crap that the uninformed Morningside crowd would!

• Pros: bad service, lousy food, way overpriced

Let me go home

by theid

here's some good advice. Stay home.the noise,surly waiters,lousy food really gets on your nerves. How they can charge such prices for this "food" is mind bogling.

• Pros: not one
• Cons: terrible service, dull food

Uneven at Best

by hari22

The best you can say about Soyka is that you can expect the unexpected. After a lousy meal served by a polite waiter, you return for a fairly good meal served by the devil's son with an attitude from Hell. All of this goes on while the owner is busy schmoozing with his friends! The prices are too high for such uneven service and average, at best, food. No wonder why their other location in the Grove failed.

• Pros: plenty of parking
• Cons: bad, bad service, fair to below food

Always enjoyable

Soyka is a wonderful place...sophisticated with a relaxed atmosphere. I love the fact that we are recognized whenever we come in, and the waiters and waitresses are the best! The owner will come over to talk to you at any time!

better for lunch..

by vazco

If the mark of a good restaurant is consistency, then Im afraid Soyk is not good. Sandwiches and Burgers are good, but some of the entrees have missed their mark. Service has ranged from excellent to "I'm doing you a favor by waiting on you" from surly staff. Turkey club was ordered butTurkey burger was delievered (and returned with much attitude from waiter".

Good location in an up and coming area. Serviceable food, but nothing to write home about. Suburbans love it, as they feel they are being cool by eating there. You can do better.

• Pros: location, parking, value
• Cons: rude waiters, inconsistent
