    Always a pleasure coming hereThe food could be a little better. I feel like its just same old news but still good.The staff is always incredibly nice.I found it so adorable that the waitress remembered us even tho last time we were there was like 9 months ago. She remembered the drinks and food we got. That made us feel like regulars and very welcomed so we ordered the same things as last time.Their wine selection is really good as well.Very comfy and cozy place with amazing service and food for a date night

  • Review 2 (2023-06-24 - Rating: 4)

    We had the brussel sprouts, the duck spring rolls, the tuna lettuce wraps, the skirt steak and the black pasta. The spring rolls and skirt steak were FANTASTIC, 10/10. Everything else was okay but the menu has so many appetizing things we will definitely be back, even just for those two dishes!

  • Review 3 (2024-12-02 - Rating: 5)

    Really great portions. Service was a bit slow and we had to ask for water and drink refills several times.

  • Review 4 (2024-02-04 - Rating: 5)

    Tried this restaurant for the first time since we were looking to have steak in the area. The restaurant has a nice and cozy vibe and offers many different options besides steak. We ordered some wine, fried calamari, my husband and cousin both had the 30 day aged strip steak. It was seasoned and cooked perfectly. They ordered the roasted potatoes and the scallion fried rice which were both large portions enough to share. I ordered the gnocchi Bolognese which was delicious but large enough that I took half of it home. No room for dessert but I read other reviews that said the cheesecake is so yummy. The service was great too, friendly staff and very attentive to refilling water, and coming by to check in. Overall great experience, will definitely be back!

    Everyone is so kind I felt like I was getting vip service, the feed is mouthwateringly good.

    Ashley made our Christmas Eve so wonderful! Excellent service and knowledge of the menu! Will definitely be back because of her!

    Best creme brulee I have had in NYC. Absolutely delicious duck, burger, and the croquettes are to die for. Brunch menu is also fantastic. I still dream about the 30-day dry aged steak every now and then. My favorite restaurant so far.

  • Review 8 (2019-08-10 - Rating: 4)

    Cool spot! Waiters were nice and welcoming. Food was good, I would vividly recommend the gnocchi, which was absolutely fantastic. I was not a fan of the meat balls. My hanger steak was supposedly grilled, but was cold my plate was full of oil (seemed like the patatoes were also fried instead of roasted). Still nice food, great spot and nice waiting staff!

  • Review 9 (2022-01-22 - Rating: 5)

    This is perfect for date night ✨The playlist is cute, love the lighting and the interior drag. Ample bar and seating and still feels intimate. Love the ceiling especially!The kobe beef sliders were good and hot + hand cut fries 👌🏽 the fried rice was also good, a sophisticated version of takeout. My favorite was the something Blondie (strawberry?) cocktail. It’s like drinking cold juice in the summertime, just so perfect!The service is also great! Thanks for the nice night ❤️‍🔥

  • Review 10 (2024-07-27 - Rating: 5)

    I am absolutely obsessed with the duck. I have tried duck breast at tons of other restaurants in NYC and none can ever hold a candle to Sojourn!!!

  • Review 11 (2024-12-16 - Rating: 5)

    Great experience when we popped in here last minute on Saturday evening without a reservation and got no attitude from hostess over this. Had drinks & dinner in bar area. Food & drink were great. Rodrigo was attentive, entertaining, warm, and welcoming.Looking forward to many return visits!

  • Review 12 (2021-03-07 - Rating: 4)

    With so many brunch places to try in New York in every neighborhood, New Yorkers rarely revisit and repeat the same spots but I’ve found myself do that with Sojourn’s brunch because it’s just so consistently good with its food, service and vibe. It’s a no-nonsense joint unlike one of those unnecessarily hyped “there’s a 90-minute wait” places. The wait staff is has always been considerate and attentive, especially if you’re someone who likes your coffee refilled promptly. Their hangover cure is my favorite — so flavorful and filling, followed by the French toast, eggs Benedict and chicken satay. I like that you can mix and match your order from their regular lunch selection as well

  • Review 13 (2024-04-23 - Rating: 5)

    Many think the UES ‘Restaurant Row’ begins at 78th and runs down Second Ave.But I think it begins at Sojourn on 79th. I’ve been eating & drinking here since it opened – always satisfied. Here are some favorites…

  • Review 14 (2019-01-17 - Rating: 5)

    Sojourn is a great restaurant on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. We ordered the cheese platter, beetroot salad, croquettes, duck spring rolls, salmon and duck breast. The cheese platter, beetroot salad and duck - on both accounts - were the winners.

  • Review 15 (2024-12-16 - Rating: 5)

    Really nice date place with very good service and the food is actually really good. Everyone was very nice and extremely helpful. The dining area was a bit noisy, but, I suppose if youre young, the noise isnt so bad. Overall, everything was excellent, especially given it was a date and somewhat last minute as well. Thank you for an excellent evening.

  • Review 16 (2024-07-29 - Rating: 4)

    Lovely dinner - we had zucchini flowers, broccoli, burrata salad, beef sliders, scallops, gnocchi and cheesecake

  • Review 17 (2018-04-22 - Rating: 4)

    Cool spot for drinks and food. They have a list of their specialty cocktails. There are some nice seats right by the front next to the big windows. I had the sliders which were really good just really tiny. The fries were amazing! Quiet enough after work to be able to talk to your friends. Thought it was a little bit too dark had to use the candles to read the menu. Ill be back soon to try their brunch!

  • Review 18 (2022-06-04 - Rating: 5)

    Really enjoyed the dining experience at Sojourn. Tried the Branzino, shrimp, over medium omelette (with chorizo subbed for avocado), the scallion fried rice, and the chicken satay. Barring the scallion friend rice (which was chewy), everything was excellent!The host was great and the outdoors decor was beautiful. Would love to return!

  • Review 19 (2019-01-15 - Rating: 5)

    Honestly Ive never tried anything but the brunch here but the service is always impeccable and the brunch food is delicious!!!!

  • Review 20 (2023-07-09 - Rating: 5)

    Everything is hand made in-house which I love about this place. The chicken sandwich with the home made chipotle mayo is delicious. Calamari is a definite must have appetizer with the home made marinara. The cherry on top is the out of this world cheese cake. Take the time and put this place on your list of go to restaurants.

  • Review 21 (2023-11-30 - Rating: 5)

    Great menu, that has a little bit of everything that their skirt steak with fried rice was surprisingly very tasty even though I wasnt expecting that combination. Also had their bolognese and the veal added so much flavor to their dish. They also have a good happy hour menu that has drinks and small bites. Service was exceptional as we had an issue with one of our dishes and they kindly sent it back (not pictured their black pasta which was salty).Cant wait to go back.

  • Review 22 (2023-03-19 - Rating: 5)

    We loved the rustic style that sojourn presented us when we went for brunch. We brought a large group of about 14 and they served us bottomless and a wide array of menu items for brunch. All our meats were served to the perfect temp and I attribute that to our server. Ana. Ana was the most excellently attentive person to both our group and myself. I never saw the bottom of my mimosa glass, and she never allowed us to want for anything. Ana the georgian, pulled in help when she needed and conversed with us to an expert level. I am personally going back for the food and her.

  • Review 23 (2020-12-05 - Rating: 5)

    I love this place!Went for dinner last night to have my new favorite dish, the always perfect pan seared scallops served over a delightful butternut squash puree.The service is always exceptional and I was outside comfortably seated next to a heat lamp.There was a very nice couple seated at a healthy distance who heard that I was a nurse when I was talking to the owner Sammy, who always circulates to make sure things are running smoothly.They paid for my dinner as thanks for my work as a nurse!A perfect night!!!

  • Review 24 (2022-06-23 - Rating: 4)

    Overall a positive experience. Ample outdoor seating, and the service was polite and quick. The food we ordered was enjoyable, though the menu is not suited well to my tastes. Taking a star off because one dish we ordered just never came. Wasnt on the bill, thankfully, but silly to miss an item when we only ordered 3 things.

  • Review 25 (2024-10-12 - Rating: 5)

    Service was excellent. The staff is so welcoming the food was great and the drinks came so fast. Our server kept asking us if everything was okay even thought she looked so busy she still made time to check on us so often.Anyway ONE BIG thing that i found very uncomfortable was this guy with a beard and hat staring at our table non stop and later on we found out he was the owner. He just kept walking up to us and every time we looked up he was standing and staring like we were doing something wrong and it made us feel very uncomfortable so we didn’t even stay for dessert.Really good food amazing excellent service extremely friendly.

  • Review 26 (2019-07-30 - Rating: 5)

    Their bottomless brunch was absolutely amazing! A main course, a side, and unlimited (for two hours) bloody Marys, mimosas, and sangria, all for a very reasonable price. I went with the eggs Benedict and the creamy polenta, and was very pleased! I cleaned my entire plate and was quite happy with the portions. Our waitress was exceptionally friendly and funny, and awesome at keeping an eye on drink levels. I would absolutely go back next time Im in town!

  • Review 27 (2019-07-25 - Rating: 5)

    Not only was the food delicious and the atmosphere beautiful, what made this such an amazing experience was the gentleman manager who went out of his way to go downstairs and bring me a bottle of French wine that was off the menu (2015 Les Charmes Chardonnay)! It made the experience so special! I also appreciate that they used your name during the entire evening. What a simple concept, right? (I assume they get it from the reservation) What a truly wonderful experience. I cant recommend highly enough!

  • Review 28 (2024-04-05 - Rating: 4)

    Excellent food and service and at a reasonable price. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner experience at Sojourn and will come back...

  • Review 29 (2024-09-14 - Rating: 4)

    Very solid choice. Skirt steak was excellent. We sat outside. Pleasant atmosphere. Not super fancy but good value for the money.

  • Review 30 (2018-12-23 - Rating: 5)

    We visited this restaurant tonight just by chance because it is near my father’s rehab hospital. Well we were all pleasantly surprised. The waiter Leo was very attentive and informative. His suggestions were absolutely correct. The food came quickly and hot. The food was excellent and was like no other cuisine we had ever tasted; it was something like a unique French-Italian fusion with other influences added. We made a reservation for for the following Saturday night before we left. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone; you will not be disappointed.

  • Review 31 (2017-09-17 - Rating: 4)

    I had been meaning to try Sojourn for almost a year, so I was thrilled when a friend recommended it for Saturday Brunch! The atmosphere is great; awesome music, trendy decor and cute table arrangements (we were at a high table that was a booth). For brunch I had steak, eggs and cheese. My meal was very good. It looked a bit on the small side when it arrived, but in the end it was the perfect amount of food; I left brunch satisfied but not disgustingly stuffed like brunch typically leaves me. I had asked for it medium well- it was more on he well done side. It could have been slightly less cooked, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. The steak was topped with frizzled onions, which was a great addition! In terms of the service, it was a little slow. The food took a bit longer than I expected and it took a while for the check to come. All in all, however, I would totally come back to Sojourn for brunch and I definitely look forward to trying it for dinner!

  • Review 32 (2024-09-07 - Rating: 5)

    This is my favorite privately owned place on the upper east side. Not only is the food amazing, the prices justtt right, but the staff is perfect! New waitress Ashley was a real treat - I’m 100% returning! Thank you Sojourn! And thank you to the server Ashley!

  • Review 33 (2024-01-09 - Rating: 5)

    Grest food, service, and atmosphere. Highly recommend the scallops. Hesitant to post this because I dont want it to get too popular. But they do deserve a stellar review.

  • Review 34 (2021-11-28 - Rating: 5)

    Yummy . Not too noisy or too crowded on Saturday 11/27/21 @ 5:45pm. Sat us early 30 minutes before reservation. Wild arugula salad was my favorite. Prosciutto & figs gets shout out too. Servings are smaller designed to be shared. Server recommended 2 orders per person (tapas style).

  • Review 35 (2021-12-07 - Rating: 4)

    Early Saturday 5:00 pm dinner; the staff was very polite with many empty tables. The restaurant was packed by the time we left at 7:15 pm.Our favorite dishes were 1) butternut squash soup, 2) wonderful & large roasted beet salad, 3) perfectly cooked salmon with mushrooms & Brussels sprout leaves with light garlic.

  • Review 36 (2016-06-23 - Rating: 5)

    Best cheesecake Ive ever had! Absolutely wonderful atmosphere, makes you feel like youre back in time in a quaint cafe in Europe. The food is unique and fit for foodies, but covers enough grounds that you dont have to worry about somebody in your group not finding something they like! Awesome service and staff, I went on a Monday so it was pleasantly not too crowded but still alive and vibrant. Will definitely be back next time Im in the city!

  • Review 37 (2019-07-22 - Rating: 5)

    Its small plates. The food was spectacular (Rxcept perhaps for the crispy oysters. They werent great.). I strongly recommend the aspay with prosciutto and the duck, buy there was other great stuff too. The drinks were great. The cheesecake with blueberries was one of the best things Ive ever eaten! And the server was attentive and very friendly and sweet. Kinda pricey, but we knew that going in. Be aware.

  • Review 38 (2022-04-01 - Rating: 5)

    I had the poke lettuce wraps. AMAZING!! We shared the beet salad and duck spring rolls. Great ambiance. Live acoustic music and singing. Creme brule was excellent. Definitely recommend!

  • Review 39 (2017-08-21 - Rating: 4)

    During a recent trip to NYC, me and a friend used Yelp to help guide our food experience through the weekend. We decided to try Sojourn after another place had a wait and average brunch options.We went with the bottomless option and I choose the French Toast with a side of hash. We both were extremely happy with our dishes. The French Toast was super flavorful, my only suggestion would be to serve it with something to break up the dough and sweetness. While I ate the dish, I was kinda wishing for an egg or something to relieve me from the sweetness and the same bite.Once we arrived, we were greeted quickly and was actually sat right away! The back half of the restaurant was packed with groups, which created a tuff atmosphere. And the server definitely took her time with the refills. The other interesting thing, was that there were only 2 restrooms so with all the bottomless going on, the restroom lines did get long.Would come back again to give lunch or dinner a try if I was in the area.

    Rodrigo takes such good care of his customers, I recommend you sit at the bar.The drinks are incredible—he never lets your glass go empty—and the food is REALLY good, and the ambience is incomparable.Run don’t walk.

  • Review 42 (2013-05-20 - Rating: 5)

    I enjoyed the cocktails and the dinner menu. The restaurant usually has a wait on the weekends, so be prepared to have a drink and hang out in the bar for a bit. I liked the atmosphere and that it was lively without being too packed. I didnt enjoy brunch as much. I thought it was overpriced and had a limited selection (every egg dish had pork-would have preferred more options) Good Bloody Marys!

    My fiancé took me here and it was delicious. The food was great and the drinks were strong.

    Its a lovely local bar for many (which is where I always sit), but their dining area is also quite nice. Their cheese cake is DELICIOUS. I also enjoy the fish tacos 🌮 😋

  • Review 45 (2016-11-12 - Rating: 5)

    Great energy! We made a reservation and still unfortunately had to wait 15 minutes. No worries, got a drink at the bar. I must say the staff was beyond efficient. The place was extremely over crowded but they definitely did a good job at catering to the customers. Food was great! I think the only thing negative was that my entree was not as hot as i would have liked but still tasted great.

  • Review 46 (2024-03-09 - Rating: 5)

    This place is great, never had a bad meal here, great wine list, great portions, great value, the menu is very solid

  • Review 47 (2019-02-09 - Rating: 5)

    Man of man, first off the atmosphere of this place phenomenal. Great upbeat music, really cool astetics inside aswell. Went for Saturday brunch and was not disappointed, I loved that the staff allowed us to eat without a reservation! Order a croquet madame which was very good. Also the chorizo hash is a must order! Lastly they are not skimpy with the boozy brunch so needless to say my Saturday ended early after leaving 😅!

  • Review 48 (2018-01-11 - Rating: 4)

    Friendly place, good service. The food was decent. Really liked the short rib and sesame tuna. Both were cooked perfectly and very tasty. The brussels sprouts were tasty, but I thought the sauce was a bit watery. Didnt find a lot of interesting flavors or taste in the manchego and chorizo croquettes. Finished our meal with a selectivity of three cheeses that were very nice. So over all liked it and would return

  • Review 49 (2017-10-22 - Rating: 4)

    Went here with a large group for brunch. They have the AYCD boozy brunch for 2 hours. Place is cute, a good mix of locals as well as a young trendy crowd. 20 minute slow walk from Central Park. Service was attentive and friendly. Unisex bathrooms.

    STELLAR experience. Food was delicious and service was impeccable. So glad I discovered this gem. Truly a wonderful experience. Will definitely be back .

  • Review 51 (2016-06-02 - Rating: 5)

    Sammy, the owner couldnt be more welcoming and hands on. Jose is the best as he puts his heart and soul towards efficient service above par. The chef has talents of The Gods as I have been coming here for 3+ years. The foods texture and taste profile is consistent and perfect each visit. Overall, I highly recommend this place if you want great service and dine (review for dinner service only) with food masterfully cooked for you. I bittersweetly wish this place to have the business it deserves even if it means competing for table reservations.-Dennis Y. (Table behind the receptionist)

  • Review 52 (2019-12-26 - Rating: 4)

    Came here with my sister & my mom for Christmas Dinner 12/25/19. The staff was nice and professional with welcoming mannerism. We started off with starters, my sister had the butternut squash soup, I had the Manchego Cheese & Chorizo croquettes, my mom had the crispy brussel sprouts, which all were absolutely delicious. Our server was good! Our entrees were outstanding, my sister and our mom ordered pasta dishes and I had the skirt steak & scallion fried rice. The only thing that we thought was extremely off was the fact all the patrons received complimentary rolls except us. Other than that everything was great! Sojourn Its highly recommended.

  • Review 53 (2021-01-19 - Rating: 4)

    Loved their skirt steak. Churros was a perfect dessert for the night. Warm outdoor seating set up but not much air ventilation.

  • Review 54 (2019-05-16 - Rating: 5)

    So this is a way overdue review. I’ve being going there for 4+ years and after my most recent visit (last night) decided to get around to write this.Lets start with the basics, Sojourn is a beautiful hidden gem on the UES right off 2nd Ave. It has a modern yet cozy look and very lively atmosphere, it goes from a cute date place to large parties kinda spot.Unique restaurant, delicious food, varied wine selection, excellent customer service and reasonable prices.Our party had 14 people and everyone had an amazing time (and food). It’s hard to find a restaurant that can accommodate large parties without a lot of issues why I keep coming back when planning large group dinners.The wine list is affordable and not intimidating, and the menu is big enough that pretty much anyone can find something that suits their needs. The concept is modern American and it works for those who value quality ingredients with upscale presentationFood-*Appetizers*- Cheese and charcuterie - a good selection of cured meats and cheeses, I like to start a meal off here with a little bit of both- Manchego Chorizo Croquettes and the Chicken Satay are also amazingThe chicken satay easily had the best of the satay peanut sauces Ive ever had!*Main*- Roasted Salmon (Chanterelle and crimini mushrooms, asparagus, truffle oil) - cooked perfectly and the truffle oil is just magic touchNow onto the pasta dishes:- Ricotta and Swiss Chard Ravioli (Parmigiano, truffle butter)- Black Pasta (Linguini pasta, *spicy* lobster arrabiata)- Burrata Agnolotti (Prosciutto di parma, shaved asparagus, thyme)All very flavorful and yummy, it wasnt too heavy and had complex flavors in a light creamy sauce.*Dessert*-Chocolate cake (so good!!)We started with a waitress then a different waiter took over. They were both very nice and efficient, always checking on drinks and refilling water.This cozy, rustic spot with occasional live music is perpetually packed and always pleasing.Sojourn is a foodies paradise.

  • Review 55 (2018-03-30 - Rating: 4)

    Great place for brunch. There will probably be a wait for seating but it is worth it. They are quick with the refills during bottomless, and that is rare these days. Great atmosphere and food. Nice variety of different types of food on the menu.

  • Review 56 (2021-02-07 - Rating: 5)

    This place is legit. Terrific cocktails, A diverse but not overwhelming wine list, creative, flavorful dishes with impeccable plating and generous portions. And their cocktails are dope. Well definitely be coming back.

  • Review 57 (2023-07-28 - Rating: 5)

    I was in town and wanted to meet a girlfriend for dinner. Such a good choice! Cute atmosphere. They have covered outdoor seating. Great for a date or meeting with friends - probably not great for groups.We came during restaurant week and enjoyed the delicious pre-fixe menu. I got the duck confit spring rolls and the ravioli. She ordered the corn salad (was a big portion) and the skirt steak…we both got the cheesecake for dessert. No dish missed. Delicious! We were so full off the tasty app and entree we took the cheesecake home for later. Wonderful service. Great restaurant to try!

  • Review 58 (2017-01-27 - Rating: 5)

    On the Upper East Side, its hard to beat Sojourn for consistency and a comfortable, fun vibe. Food is excellent as are the drinks. Staff is friendly and fun. They have live music too (Monday nights I think). The organic half chicken is a favorite for me, as is the chorizo rice, duck confit spring rolls, and chicken satay. Sammy (the owner) is super-hospitable.

  • Review 59 (2016-08-16 - Rating: 4)

    Went for brunch and thoroughly enjoyed. Unlimited mimosas or bloody marys with brunch for $25 per person. Food was good. Service was ok. Didnt have omlette in the menu and they charged an extra $6 for 2 added ingredients. I thought that was a little tight. But the booze made up for it.

    LOVED it. Came here for a late brunch on Sunday, paid $50 with coffees, tax and tip for an entree, side, and two hours bottomless drinks. Great food and service, would love to come back.

    If you are considering bottomless brunch, this is an amazing spot. Price is good, drinks were great and the food is worth it. Definitely coming back!

    Dope vibe, kind staff. They had a Kolsch (beer), which is my fave (light beer, FYI). And I got the black lobster pasta.

    Always enjoy the Soujourn although it is usually loud. We ate at the bar area for the first time as it was not crowded on the holiday weekend. Good standby neighborhood joint.

    Place was okay. I didnt really see much of it, as I was focused on my date, who rejected me, secondary to no spark. Little discouraged right now, so I guess its not the restaurants fault.

    Loved the background music.. Great playlist... The food was what you would hope to expect from an above average unlimited brunch.. Would come back.. Decor is a mashup that might need a little work.

    Good service (a bit slow but not inattentive). Food was quite good as well. The duck eggrolls were amazing.

    Great place for brunch. There may be a wait for seating but it is worth it. They are quick with the refills during bottomless, and that is rare these days.

    Sojourns general absence from recommendation lists underscores the occasional pitfalls of such online resources. Sometimes, you need to speak to locals or get out and explore—because Sojourn is one of the best dining experiences of the Upper East Side.Dimly candlelit, the atmosphere is supremely cozy, with plentiful energy but also intimacy. The small plate selection is diverse, featuring an adequate assortment of vegetable, seafood and meat options, but not overwhelming. Size-wise, theyre relatively generous, where 2-3 per person—sharing, of course—leaves everyone satisfied.Our plates trickled out at the perfect frequency, leaving us plenty of time to experience each one fully—and a little wine in between.Speaking of wine, Sojourn offers and excellent selection, along with a fantastic lists for beer and cocktail lovers.The only drawback to my first Sojourn experience was the inability of our server to offer recommendations. Much to our surprise, she virtually recited the menu. But thankfully, the experience was otherwise full of delight, so another server will have a shot at redemption when I undoubtedly return!

    Went for Saturday brunch with a friend. We had the bottomless mimosas and I got the Hangover Cure. The food was great, flavorful and fresh! The mimosas were always full and the music was a fun dance playlist which made for a nice vibe and upbeat atmosphere! Highly recommend for a solid weekend brunch spot!

    One of my favorite spots on the Upper East!Where do I begin…. The food is phenomenal and never misses! In the fall, their butternut squash soup on the menu is by FAR the best soup I’ve ever had in my life! Also, the duck spring rolls are *chef’s kiss.* On top of all that, Julio behind the bar makes the best drinks and you can tell he really loves what he does. All of the staff there is so friendly and it feels like a community when you walk through the doors. Nothing but love!To finish, the live music is probably some of my favorite in the city!

    10/10 Amazing food, try the skirt steak, black pasta w lobster & the croquettes.Amazing vibes and atmosphere. Love sitting both inside and outside depends on the weather but both are equally as good. It’s cute for dates, or drinks & din with friends. The vibe can be either which is really nice. Also love how you don’t feel on top of each other when sitting outside, it’s nice and spread out.Service is excellent. Waiters are always attentive, kind, and they don’t rush you (isn’t that the worst?!)The owner Sammy is the nicest guy! He introduced himself, chatted about the neighborhood, and gave us drinks on him.A true UES gem. Definitely go if you haven’t already!

    I visited for a birthday party and the service, ambiance and food were all incredible. We had the burrata salad, the chicken satay, the steak, fries and the poke. It was all incredible. The only negative I can say was that it was a bit too dark inside to where multiple patrons around the restaurant needed to use the flashlight feature on their phones to read the menu.

Then we sat for dinner and the manager Jose, we outstanding in his service. He suggested a wine for us that we loved and it was very reasonably priced. The meal was delicious. Jose was funny and super friendly. The place itself is super cute with a really great ambiance.

    A pleasant surprise! I didnt expect to like this restaurant so much but I really did. The food portions are pretty large and delicious. I think the waiter was taking too long to bring our bill and was chatting up too much with other patrons, but it did not detract from how great the space was. The decor was beautiful as well.

    Ive been here a few times now. I love a good margarita!! They make theirs with fresh lime juice. The atmosphere is lively. Great cheese plate. They have a little less for vegetarians than I like but I was able to find enough to eat. The staff are very friendly. Just an all around fun vibe to the place. Ive mostly been here to eat but I did go one time for after dinner cocktails when they had live music.

  • Review 157 (2016-12-08 - Rating: 5)

    I cant begin to rate this place highly enough. My story on how I found Sojourn isnt typical by any means. It started while I was visiting a friend in New York. We went for a walk in nearby Central Park. As fate would have it, I lost my iPhone in the park. I was certain it was gone forever. I put my phone on lost mode and hoped for the love of god someone would call my friends phone with the good news. As time went by, it seemed bleaker and bleaker until I received a fateful call. Luck would have it a gentleman who happened to be the owner of Sojourn had found my phone in the park. He invited me over to Sojourn for drinks on the HOUSE! I couldnt believe it! I had offered whoever had my phone a reward, but here, I found myself being rewarded not only by his kindness but his hospitality. We made our way back to Sojourn, and I was astonished by not only his kindness but his staffs kindness. He even charged my phone back to a full 100%! We sat down and had some drinks, I cant tell you how well crafted they were. Our food ordered promptly (a big plus, we were starving from all that searching!) Again, I cant recommend this place enough. The food is amazing, the drinks are great, but most importantly the staff and the ambiance is out of this world. GO, GO, GO! Dont even think twice!

    Super excited to have moved back to good ole UES. The manager, Jose, was such a delight. He used to serve us often years ago while he was a bartender and remembered us again when we came in years later. Such a friendly restaurant, with such delicious food. Ill be here often as luckily I live right next door. Sojourn is always part of my home.
