We came at 7pm on a Friday (made a reservation) before the place got filled… and by 8pm is was hopping. From the look of it everyone was having a great time. It’s a cozy dark interior made to be more intimate than many brighter spots. Lots of “regulars.” Service was super attentive without being on top of you. Even the “bus boys” were gracious and concerned if you were enjoying everything. The food: Salads and soups were delicious, abundant and nicely presented. Bronzino and pasta were delicious (although the ravioli could have been warmer). All delicious. The point being: screw ordering in. Go out. Go to Sojour.

My wife and I have eaten at Sojourn numerous times and have enjoyed each visit. The service is outstanding and the food is delicious. Additionally, the prices are reasonable. The ambiance is relaxed and you can actually have a conversation and hear each other. I live in the neighborhood and this is one of our favorite restaurants in the area.

Well, I did not like the fact that there were a lot of people that reserved a table for the same hour (maybe a problem with the website? they did not explain), so everyone had to wait. It was an unpleasant experience for the Thanksgiving day. The food was ok, but too expensive for what it was. Our server was nice, but it did not compensate.

We waited with our reservation an hour to be seated. The meals were delivered with hourly delays. The hostess was clearly drunk.

Waited over 3 hours total for our meals and that’s with ordering ahead. Food was ok but my steak was cooked beyond well done when I asked for medium, turkey came out cold. Waited another 45 minutes for our dessert to go and just left without it. I went here because of the reviews but it did not even live up to a 3 star.

Considering how full they were they did a good job bringing the main course out while still hot. From soup to dessert each course very flavorful and well presented. We sat in the outer area which was considerably quieter than inside.

Our dessert took 20 minutes to come out and then 3 minutes after the servers set the plates down the waitress said we need to pay the bill because people were waiting for the table. We were rushed through the meal. Don’t think we will return.
