We enjoyed a wonderful girls lunch to celebrate a couple of birthdays! Our server Eric had incredible energy, knowledge, professionalism and joy! We shared a few dishes and each one was fresh and flavorful! Try the short rib taquitos, halibut tacos and Ceaser salad! We started with the complimentary homemade tortillas served with two delicious salsas and whipped honey butter. Oh and the cocktail program is outstanding. We tried three different drinks and each one was thoughtfully crafted, used fresh ingredients and were refreshing!! It’s a beautiful space and we will definitely be back. Thank you Samantha and Eric!

Had lunch at SoN and was so impressed! Our server, Brandon, took excellent care of us. All the food was top notch. I had enchiladas divorcia-great contrast in sauces. A friend had the portobello tacos and she said those were the best. The guacamole & salsas were superior. Even the iced tea was special. Must say, I will be back!
