Wanted a brunch spot for my bday with a cool vibe, good music and tasty enough food. Unfortunately SOBs was not good. Of all the things we ate I would say half of them were boardering on gross. My girlfriends Salmon came out raw, my food was cold, and things on the menu they force you to buy (Pre Fixe) did not come out as described. The chicken I ordered promised collard greens, when I asked why my dish was served with another vegatable they then told me they ran out. I am pregnant, so I couldnt take advantage of the all you can drink Sangria, instead i ordered juice which they charged me for. Rediculous. Also the live music was good but in between VERY short sets they played the most snoozy dental office jazz that was lamer than lame. Its a Bazza Nova brunch. Play some salsa, latin jazz or anything that doesnt put you to sleep! Service was TERRIBLE. They were understaffed (and our server was NEW) and the manager stood at the front twiddling her thumbs the entire time not stepping in to help. With so many amazing choices for brunch in the city i was so regretting my decision to try SOBs. I wasnt expecting the best meal of my life since its a music venue, but I was expecting cool energetic vibe, edible food and decent service none of which we received.
