Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Soco Restaurant delivers a delightful dining experience with "great quality food," "wonderful service," and a "vibrant atmosphere." Chef Greg Ritchie's Asian influence on southern comfort dishes like the "amazing pecan crusted catch" and "juicy, crispy fried chicken" impresses. The location is perfect for theater-goers seeking a memorable meal before a show.

    Soco was recommended to me by a friend for their delicious brunch and mimosas. We loved it and Sophia was our amazing server who attended to our every need with kindness. We loved every minute of our visit.

    I was pleasantly surprised because I had never heard of Soco prior to visiting. Needless to say I’ll be back again and again. From the service to the food, everything was amazing!

    The menu is very creative, and offers something for every palate. The bisquits and dumplings are always great, but the Brussels sprouts and cauliflower bites were new choices for us and we loved them! The halibut and snapper were both prepared perfectly.

    This restaurant in a lively downtown Orlando neighborhood makes for a fine dinner out with friends. The service was perfectly attentive, and the atmosphere was rich urban with cooling brown colors for those warm southern nights. The dishes were colorfully presented and of quality ingredients. The only failing to remark upon were the undercooked pieces of winter squash and brussel sprouts.

    The absolute BEST in the Orlando area. Chef Greg Ritchie is one of a kind bringing an Asian influence to southern comfort food. I’ll be bringing everyone I know here.
