   This was my first time there for Happy Hour. The HH deals are some of the best in the Short North with many items that are 1/2 off including Craft Cocktails. I will definitely be back!

   Everything we ordered was cold. It was very unfortunate. They did make it right by removing a few items from our bill but it was just not a good experience.

   Went for brunch. It was just OK. Nothing great, nothing bad. Nothing memorable. Definitely better brunch options around!

   Our visit was wonderful! This was the 1st time dining at SoCal. The only reason the noise level didn’t get the top rating was because a couple at a table of 4 opposite from us was very loud. They left before we did so at that point the experience went back to top notch. Our server was extremely pleasant & attentive. Will definitely dine here again!

   We had Kelsey as our sever. My son and I were in town for our Ohio State tour. She was an exceptional server and gave us great recommendations from the menu. We enjoyed the food so much we almost went back a second night. I feel the price point was incredible for the quality and portion size of the food. Still thinking about then shrimp pasta bowl.

   Food was fantastic (fresh, flavorful, unique) and service from Delany was superb (friendly, attentive to individual needs, informed, responsive). Best of all the times we’ve eaten at the restaurant.

    Very Kind waitress, I generally try to remember the name so I can provide a shout out but I was celebrating so didn't catch that unfortunately, very kind, attentive, with great recommendations! Will return. Crispy rice, Garlic bread, rockfish, all amazing! Thank you
