I had the extreme pleasure of having my birthday dinner at Odd Sister last night. I made a reservation online and communicated with Emily via email regarding the details. From.the very beginning I was excited to come here and everything from the communication, planning, venue, food, decor and service was top notch. Thank you so much to everyone at Odd Sister for making this a wonderful celebration for me. Will definitely come back again to try even more dishes. We ordered a variety of items from the menu, but stand out dishes for me were the spicy tuna appetizer, the crab linguine, and spare rib fried rice. Honorable mentions also have to be for their exquisite cocktails and also the margherita pizza, fries with aoili, and the lychee martini, espresso martini and paloma cocktails.
Searching for a great place for families and cocktails in Soho brought us to Odd Sister. The cocktails stole the show. My wife said it may have been her favorite cocktail. American food (pizza, burgers, steak) and everything was good especially given the price point. Nothing exceptional but everything was very good. The pizza was probably the best we ordered. I recommend going - the kids both loved their food. We loved the cheese board and cocktails.
We stopped in after an early travel day and were so hungry so we ordered an entry to share and then our own meals. I ordered a matcha lemonade because I love matcha and it sounded so refreshing but it was pretty sour so if you aren't into really sour lemonade, maybe try something else! I also ordered the short rib fried rice and it was absolutely incredible. We got the ricotta pancakes to share and those were absolutely divine. The service was great and the atmosphere was so cozy and relaxing. I highly recommend!
Stumbled here out of curiosity as it is the highest rated spot in the area. It lived entirely up to its hype. The cocktails were perfect, the vibe was warm and cozy, the guanciale pizza is the best I’ve had, and the bartender Allie, made the entire experience. We talked for too long and had to leave her alone after all the bar tickets were flooding in. Great space.
Came for a birthday dinner party. We had a few drinks and shared many dishes. Everything we ate was really good and came out in a timely manner. Staff were friendly and gave helpful suggestions.
The staff were super lovely with great service and the place itself is nicely decorated with a great location. The only downside was my food was mid at best, mostly due to a lack of seasoning. I went for brunch and had a cheese omelette with caramelised onions plus home fries and salad. The omelette was perfunctory though the strips of onion were in no way caramelised. The potatoes were a bit dry and lacked any form of seasoning at all, while the salad was just a heap of garnish, although the dressing was lovely. I asked for mustard to make the omelette more enjoyable, which they provided. The atmosphere, decor and staff were all great, but the food let it down, for me.
