   Somm Wine bar provides a great dinner experience! The manager owner is personable & engaging. The wait staff is helpful, knowledgeable and provides great service. Our food was served hot, and was delicious as it is every time we dine here.

   We are lucky to live right around the corner for Somm. We enjoy heading to Somm for a date night every so often. The food is always good. I’m not much into wine, but the Blueberry Lavender Lemonade cocktail is my go to.

   This was our first time at Somm and we loved it. Our server was incredibly warm and welcoming, she did not rush us and was very good at explaining the menu. We had the pork (excellent) and the salmon (so good) along with the tuna carpaccio appetizer which was also very light and delicious. All in all an excellent evening and we will definitely be back. (PS: trying to reduce carbs for health reasons, and many of the sides are high in carbs. It would be nice to be able to substitue potatoes/ risotto with the mushrooms or small salad, etc.)

   Overall not a good experience. It was very crowded and the noise level was high. Our table was in the middle of the room and the servers had to walk around us in a small area. One of their servers tripped over our purse, coat, and then bumped into my daughter and spilled a drink she was serving. She was rude and appeared irritated because we were in her way. The area was too small for the servers to walk around. My wine was brought to our table and it took my husband’s 15-20 minutes to be brought to the table. I was very disappointed I was so excited to visit Somm. Overall the food was good but serving size for price was poor.

   We apologize for your seating on a very busy night. Your reservation was originally for 2 people, but went to 5 people the day before your reservation, so we had to figure something out for your group. That table is not designed to handle 5 guests and all of our larger tables had been booked long before your party grew. Not sure who bumped in to your table, but we will look into it, as we are known for having friendly and courteous service, and this is not acceptable. Long drink times aren't the norm either, so we will review video of your experience to take corrective measures. Once again we apologize and hope that you give us another try in the future.

   We ate here recently with another couple and were the only customers until we left. The cold and potential snow probably had something to do with that. Our drinks were good, the food was good and the service was good. We definitely will return…..again.

   I've always liked Somm's three course option, and this evening was no different. I started with a very nice lobster bisque followed by a perfectly cooked halibut main course followed by a great triple chocolate mousse cake. Somm has a very wine nice list as well as an extensive by the glass list. Always a special night dining at Somm.

    Made reservations far in advance for Valentine’s Day. When we got there they told us it was only a pre-fix menu with no vegetarian options and was $60 a person. There was no mention of this ahead of time and we had to scramble to find a new place to eat. The fact that it was a pre-fix menu should have been communicated when the reservations were made.
