Pera Soho Reviews

It’s hard to find a happy hour in soho that’s a good prive, good quality and good food. We love the environment the music and the outdoor seating. This is the best place to go to on a nice summer day after work or after shopping.

Wonderful neighborhood patio experience! Great drinks, small bites and atmosphere. Have walked by and wanted to come here and I’m glad I finally did. Will definitely come again.

The Salmon Tartare was the best, the staff always on the spot. I didn't feel solo there, as so often happens at Restaurants.

Good food, good ambiance, good price, excellent service. Had a great time with friends during holidays

If you are looking for a place in the Soho area to go with your team for dinner, that is reasonably priced and has delicious food, recommend PeraSoho. Food was very good and there was a lot of it. Great value. Service was very good as well. They have a semi private room, that you can sit and eat, but also get up and walk around and speak with your colleagues. Good value in the Soho area.

Really great! Dinner was excellent and the service was wonderful. I cannot wait to come back and get the turkey meatballs.

Great spot for happy hour and food!! And amazing patio ambiance- a must try! We ordered the apricot margaritas and would highly recommend them, along with the eggplant dip!!

Amazing ambiance, food, service. It’s a magical place. The eggplant gyro was my favorite. Will come back

Great drinks for happy hour and a really cute outdoor heated patio area — great for groups. Highly recommended as a casual hangout spot during winter.

Amazing service and good drinks. Food was also well done. Ye atmosphere was really nice and a perfect way to the end weeekend.

This place is great to catch up with friends! This place is great for getting drinks and catching up with friends.

They serve nothing besides your order. Not even a piece of bread. The hamburguers were a shame. You had to find them with a looking glass. The salad was really scarce, 80% lettuce. And that was all for 40 dollars. We had to have some coffee at the Dunkin Donought after that , a sandwich and a doughnut because no other place served coffee in the surroundings. But at least that saved our night.

Dinner on the patio was very nice. Appetizer selection was very good and eclectic. Especially pastirma wrapped feta cheese stuffed date was awesome! Deserts are delicious. However, Sirloin “Shaslik” was mediocre steak. That would be the only negative feedback. Great service and waiters are attentive. They have been awarded four stars.

My friends and I were originally going to another establishment but the wait was over an hour. We walked a block down the street and saw Pera. A nice happy accident, the employees were super polite and attentive. The bread and dipping sauce was amazing we got 2nds of both lol. Dinner was really good the steak was tender and flavorful, that bread dipping went well on it lol our waiter was super sweet, helpful and attentive, everything we asked he was able to answer and give is own personal suggestions. Which I love when my waiter is really knowledgeable about the food and even the wine. Psychological the Malbec super yummy. Muhammad I believe was my waiters name, he worked sat on the 18th Dec. Hopefully Pera will acknowledge him for his outstanding service. My friends and I would definitely dine with them again.

The food is good, the place is beautiful, but the service is slow, I don't know if pq we went to the brunch, leaves a wish, but it's worth seeing. I recommend yes.

We arrived early for our reservation, and were seated in the extremely comfortable bar area at a table by a window, giving us a great view of the snow falling. The atmosphere was laid back. The food was fantastic. I had the cauliflower appetizer, the zaatar pita, and then the olive oil lemon cake. I wanted another piece tbh. We really wanted to go back but didn't have the chance. So delicious. Great atmosphere. Helpful and professional staff. Easy to find. Will return on our next trip!

Called in as we were staying in the area nice looking restaurant Shared Starter very nice Callamari. Main course I had Macedonian Chicken my partner had steak Very very bland under seasoned if any, my partners steak over cooked but to cap it all $15 for a thimble of Very poor wine

Came to Pera Soho for a late lunch and was very impressed with the food and service. Highly recommend the Soho Blossom and Mediterranean octopus!

My friend found this place online and she saw they had good deals and sure enough their happy hour menu is amazing!! So many good options!

This place is perfect for outdoor drinks. Takes you away from the city and makes you feel like you’re at a European retreat from the city. The service is perfect and the pours are nice. I’ve also been for lunch and the food is delicious.

Happy hour food was great! Apricot margarita was good. Pretty strong! The smoked eggplant was delicious and so were the fries!

We were completely charmed by the veranda seating specially on an unusually warm early October evening. This modern middle-eastern eatery is very good for a meal with friends. The appetizers are what it is about and they are very tasty and well thought out. The service can be a bit relaxed.

Ambiance is pleasant, martinis are delicious and drinks are affordable! Would recommend, especially for a summer happy hour with friends.

Great service, great food.. good for sharing, nice outdoor seating. Lots of options on menu even for happy hour. Highly recommend!

We have walked by here numerous times, read good reviews, thought it would be a great place for Valentine's day. Unfortunately, our food was terrible. We had the surf and turf. I ordered medium rare, was medium well and completely tasteless. Likewise the shrimp was tasteless also and only 2 tiny shrimp, but curiously they had 2 huge shrimp heads that were ugly separate from the 2 shrimp bodies/tail. I was wondering why they were there as they were not at all attractive. I think they seriously put 2 big shrimp heads to make you think the shrimp were big. My suspicion was that it was Valentine's Day and they bought the cheapest shrimp and steak as this was their "special" for the night. Our Turkish apricot Margaritas were terrible also, like a cheap restaurant. Sour with no sweetness whatsoever. To improve them they should add a pinch of apricot liqueur. Ambient was nice, live music spectacular, service decent. Mashed potatoes were smoked, overly so.

Restaurant is great ... outdoor seating very nice... but the food is missing taste ... we took the meat dumplings, chicken roll and feta fig ... so so overall... but the place is very nice.

The drinks are super strong and affordable! Food is tasty too. And honestly, this place was fun. And not like that fun where you go to a bar all anxious bc you’re worried you’ll be awkward until you finally get pretty buzzed, it was fun like I was so happy to be there upon arrival. Thanks Pera soho for fostering the best version of me.

We shared 4 different mezze - great taste! nice waiter and waitress and the guest room was very warm decorated.

This plc has great flavorful food. Everything had flavor; including cucumber tomato salad I had for an app. My friend loved the calamari and the salmon delish. Good portions & good service. Go & enjoy!

Passed by several times to and from the hotel and decided one afternoon to check it out. Outdoor space was all full so we sat at the bar. Service was good and the same food and drink menus were available. They have a happy hour that certainly brought in the crowds and it seemed like a lot of locals taking advantage of the half price drinks. We had a few appetizers that were decent as were the cocktails. The patio space is charming and the bar is nice with an indoor/outdoor feel to it. That said, there was nothing stand out about it. If we are nearby we would stop again but would not go out of our way to drink or dine.

Great happy hour deals. Mezze were great too. I had the blood orange martini, excellent. My gf had the Turkish apricot Margarita - stand out!!!!!

I've came here because of the ambiance. But was surprised that the food was amazing and drinks even better

Quit and lovely place on a corner with a great atmosphere. Plates are nice and very tasty for a very affordable price. Big recommendation. We had a very good time for lunch on the terrace.

Went for happy hour drinks. Not allowed to sit on the porch unless we ordered food. Otherwise a great deal!

We went to Pera for cocktails before a late dinner reservation. The atmosphere was fun and lively. There had just been a rain shower so there were a lot of patrons outside under the covering- seemed more crowded. Once the afternoon rain passed, people spread out and around the patio and it was very nice. Our bartenders were great-thanks guys!

We just had a delicious dinner for 5. From 9 to 45, all satisfied! The Greek Salmon was delicious. The octopus was cooked to absolute perfection, I felt I should have asked for more! The cut lamb roll, lamb sliders, lamb chops! Yum!!! The Penne with zucchini was probably the lowliest. Desserts were great too! Music and ambiance were awesome too! Good wine, great blood orange martini... Costly, no doubt, yet thoroughly enjoyed by all.

We really liked this place. It was kinda casual which was nice. The food was great and the outdoor area was really nice. Definitely worth a visit.

We had my son's and his fiancée's engagement party at Pera this weekend, on their terrace overlooking the pretty courtyard. It was terrific. The team there was so professional: answered my email inquiry immediately, helped me organize an appropriate and modestly priced menu, and confirmed in the days before. The staff was friendly and attentive, the food was excellent, and the setting was festive and relaxed. We had a great time and are so grateful to Emi, Michael, Yvonne, and everyone at Pera for making it a memorable evening for our family and the newlyweds-to-be.

Great outdoor space for lunch and dinner. Focus on south European food eg Greek, Turkish. Very laid back atmosphere and staff but it makes it all more authentic.

Loved it. Happy for happy hour! Outdoor area is great. Sliders were good. Servers friendly. Would come back!

A Turkish flair to this menu... great flatbreads and overall extremely tasty food. The outside terrace is excellent here in summer, would absolutely make this a favorite spot. I hope I can bring my dog :-)

We came here for lunch. Me, my sister and my mum took a chicken sandwich. We all got sick. My sister had nausea, vomit, diarrea and fever for two days. I had similar syntoms. Probably the hygene in this place is poor...or we got really unlucky. Anyway, our holiday in nyc was ruined by this bad experience. Not reccomended!

Nice space with a patio for better weather. So many great mezze choices that made the entrees pale in comparison. I assume the very large table is to accommodate a multitude of small plates but made conversation across the table a bit of a challenge. We should have opted to sit on the enclosed porch area. Loved the dates and chicken entree was a great share

Great spot for drinks or dinner - casual, intimate, business - all of it ! Beautiful outdoor spot and cool indoor decor!!!! Love the spot. Great service, decor, vibes. Perfect soho spot !!!

Terrible experience last night! Went for dinner after hearing and reading good reviews and were dis pointed . Made reservations for 6ppl, waited 25 minutes to get seated, which was acceptable. Server told us during taking out orders that they are out of Sirloin and chicken Shashlik! Wow how a Resturant at 7:30pm is out of 2 major proteins. Very disappointed wanted to try both items, end up ordering few salmons, burger and mussels , which were ok . Manager came to the table and said due to NYE they haven’t got the meats yet! It’s 3rd of January! Wow Slow service , had to chase our server to pay the check . Won’t be visiting again .

Terrible customer service. I would never go here again, they way the treat customers here is terrible. All they care about is overcharging customers. Stay away.

I just resigned from my job and wanted to celebrate. We wanted to bar hop initially, but stumbled across Pera Soho and ended up staying much longer than anticipated. The atmosphere was SO relaxing, the drinks were SO refreshing, and those outdoor sofas were exactly what we needed. Highly recommend the Cucumber Cooler. It’s summer in a glass.

I can't say enough good things about Pera Soho. I went there for the first time with a group of friends for my 30th birthday. I'm a diehard foodie, so I wanted to make sure everything went well, and the restaurant lived up to the recommendation. I met with Burak (the owner) beforehand, and he helped me to plan the whole afternoon. They were able to accommodate a range of dietary restrictions/allergies without any problems. The main hostess Zuma, was also warm and friendly, and checked on us as well. I appreciate that Pera Soho has managed to strike that elusive balance of providing the quality and hospitality expected of an upscale restaurant in NYC without the unwarranted pretentiousness that is all too common these days. The restaurant draws a good crowd and has normal turnover, without feeling like the staff is rushing you keep the brunch crowd moving. The outdoor garden area was beautiful and comfortable. All the food was amazing. I especially recommend the baked eggs, all the dips, and the adana rolls. The drinks were strong enough to feel like you were getting your money's worth, but not so strong that you would look or feel sloppy after two hours at brunch. The baklava is to die for. I haven't had that quality baklava since I was in Greece and Turkey. I even took a few pieces home with me, and after a few days in the fridge they were STILL delicious. I will definitely be making Pera Soho my regular spot!

Relaxing atmosphere on the outside terrace. It was hard to believe we were in the middle of a city. From drinks to dessert we were impressed with the quality and taste. I'm looking forward to returning.

We were looking for a place to eat just a little, after a long day in New York. Several of the places we intended to try were closed, as it is Thanksgiving. Suddenly Pera Soho appeared before us. It was luck! Fantastic service, beautiful premises and delicious taste of the food. Highly recommended!

Someone told me to check out Pera SoHo because “the food is really good”. Well, they weren’t lying. I enjoyed the dishes I tried and can only echo the praises

I have been to Pera multiple times and I enjoy the place, food and drinks. The happy hour is also very good and well priced.

Excellent food, and great choice of Turkish and Mediterranean wines and liquors. Great place and friendly staff.

Had a great time at happy hour our waiter was great the food was good the drinks were good I like it here.

Friendly staff and great happy hour drinks and apps after SoHo shopping with Mom. Beautifully decorated and welcoming for Christmas. We will be back for dinner!

Great drinks and service! I always love coming to Pera soho it’s a great spot to hangout with friends.

If you love Mediterranean food, you will love this place. The outdoor space is big and beautiful. The staff is lovely.

Awesome place, good service, good food and decent price. Happy hour before 7 and great outdoor sitting

Let's start with being told by the host, that I couldn't be seated at 10:26am for my 10:30 reservation because i was too early. Then...despite having a reservation and calling in advanced, I was being seated indoors. I requested the day prior to have courtyard seating. The was no annotation to my reservation to reflect that. I was there at opening at 10:30am with an empty courtyard and given this nonsense about how it was full and that I had to leave by noon if I were to sit outside. When ordering the steak and eggs, I was not given a choice of temperature for the preparation for my meat. I was told that it was already marinated and that they all were cooked the same way. When I asked what the same way was, he couldn't tell me if it was medium rare, medium, or well done. How does the marinade explain why I can't select temperature? And lastly, I asked for tea, never got it. Service was horrific, just for that alone, I couldn't enjoy my meal, will not be going back here again.

We had such high hopes for this place! After walking past it several times, we decided that today we would stop in for brunch. We love Mediterranean food, so we were super excited. The fact that it was practically empty should have been a sign..... We decided to sit outside because it was such a beautiful day. Most of the outside area is covered with red umbrellas/awnings. I managed to sit in the one seat that was partially exposed to the sun. That coupled with the high walls which blocked the breeze, I was roasting!!! The waiter promptly took our order and brought out pita with dip. We had: - Hummus with dried meat on top - very tasty but I didn't love the crackers they gave us to dip with. - Baked eggs over polenta - tasty but not mind blowing. - Mushroom Omelette - with goat cheese and arugula. I never had an omelette like this before. It was very thin with small piles of cheese on it. It was almost like a pizza. I didn't love it..... - Mac n Cheese - very good, both my girls enjoyed it. - Lamb slider - overcooked. It was like a small hockey puck. The Bloody Mary and Negroni were okay. The service was good and the bathrooms were very clean but I don't think we will be coming back.

This is the second time I’ve been to pera. It always feels relaxed yet upscale, and the drinks and food are great. Their happy hour deal is one of the best in the area!

Relaxed nice terrace and the perfect place to grab a drink and an appetizer after shopping in Soho. Service is not their forte but its a charming place. Get a glass of champagne and have a few small plates such as hummus.

It was a lively and friendly bar scene. Good wine and good appetizers. Great location. Wish I could've dined there to get a real feel for the food.

Nice place near the fanciest stores in SoHo, friendly people, at happy hour time drinks and appetizers are cheaper. I recommend staying in the area outside.

We’ve heard a lot about Pera and was super eager to try! Given that there is a outside area to eat in the city, we were super sold! Our order came out before the table next to us and that was weird... also our drinks took forever to come and we felt like the server forgot about us! Otherwise would totally come back and eat by the bar

Great drinks and the Mediterranean Fries are awesome. We made this visit on our couple's weekend in NYC.

Such a great little spot to stop in for a quick drink and tapas. We loved everything we tried and the drinks were so delicious!!!

This restaurant has so much potential with great location and food. It disappointed on all fronts - however the location is great! The service is underwhelming, the waiters and hostess had no clue, the bar took forever, and I was offered the wrong food multiple times. I would not go back to this restaurant.

Had my 50th birthday party here, 17 people travelling from the UK. Big decision as to where to go and chose Pera Soho after a recommendation from a friend who worked in New York. A fantastic choice. Food and service were excellent, had a table outside where the atmosphere was brilliant. The restaurant had also arranged a private room inside in case we preferred that. Can’t recommend this place enough, will definitely visit again if we end up back in New York. All of the party commented upon the quality of the food and service.

Decided to stop in the bar and get out of the rain. While the bar service was a little slow, everything turned out well. Drinks were size and reasonably priced. One ordered a spiced Bloody Mary and it was spicy! Had to request mor mix to cut it in half. While sitting there, we saw multiple food orders and they were very goo. We talked to those ordering the food and they raved about the sandwiches and French fries. They looked delicious!

Pera had a great atmosphere with wonderful outdoor seating, but the service was fairly slow. The food was fine, but I'm not sure we'll be back.

This is a very pretty restaurant with a lovely outdoor seating area. We came here for drinks at happy hour and received a total cold shoulder. We had to press to be seated in an empty place and insist that they turn on the heaters. Others were seated in a uncomfortable unheated area and they smartly left without ordering. The happy hour menu is fun and our drinks were good. Too bad the owner is so cold.

Excellent atmosphere. The outdoor seating vibe was terrific and the service was quick and excellent. Amazing food as well

We spent new year's eve. It was great event. Great food, great service. Great location. Amazing terrace.

This is one of my fave HH in the city! $8 drinks and 2 apps for $8 you cannot find anything cheaper. I dare you

This was is a great little place. Had brunch on a lovely Sunday in February. Food was amazing, cocktails were tasty too. Service was attentive. Would definitely come back for dinner next time. Will try a summer evening and enjoy the lovely outdoor terrace.

Great small plates and cocktails during Saturday happy hour! Pricing was surprisingly good 4-7pm. Cool bar decor and vibe. Would recommend to friends!

Located in SoHo as the name implies, this place is a great place for Mediterranean food. Went there for restaurant week a little while ago. Pros: The ambiance is nice with comfortable seating. Outdoor seating looked pretty nice too though we sat inside. The waiters were attentive and courteous. The service was fast and efficient. Cons: The food looked great in presentation but was somehow lacking in flavor for some reason. We got a lot of things including the chicken Adani roll, the seared salmon and the lamb manti which was different. Also got the pikilia assorted spreads which was very good. Very stuffed at the end. Overall great service and ambiance, the best thing I had was probably the chocolate mousse, definitely must try it. I'd go with 4 stars.

My friend took advantage of the Restaurant Week and made reservation for us. I LOVED it! The place definitely has a good vibe - we sat outside and it was beautiful with all the lights! The food was delicious ! For appetizer I took Chicken Adana Cut Roll - so good and fresh! Main dish Fetuccine Politka was also very good and good portion. For dessert - Baklava ! Yummy! Highly recommended !

Great covered outdoor patio for a Mediterranean feel with amazing food and cocktails. Went with a friend and it didn’t let us down. We left full and happy for the company and the environment facilitating our time together

Bad experience overall. Bringing menus took 20 minutes and no one ever came to take our order, and when we asked for two beers they asked us to take them ourselves from the bar. In the end they brought the beers to the table and asked us to pay right away, I haven't received a tax receipt. Not coming back.

Great food, fun atmosphere, chic crowd. New stork version of hip Turkish spot. Definitely will be back.

We were a party of six celebrating my adult daughter’s birthday. She had been to Pera SoHo for drinks before and suggested we eat here. Each of us were so impressed by the food and beautiful outdoor charm! We can’t wait to return! Our salmon, portobello gyros, burger, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, dips, calamari and assorted other appetizers and desserts were beyond fabulous! I only wish it weren’t so loud since we had my 92 year old dad either us. The noise level made it difficult to converse. Perhaps we’ll request a table in the corner next time. Otherwise, I can’t say enough about the delicious food!

The ambiance, food, and everything about the service has been amazing. The service is wonderful and I will come back again and again and bring all my friends!

We ordered delivery via Seamless to our hotel. It was supposed to take 45-60 minutes, but ended up being more like 90+, which seems pretty absurd. When our food finally arrived, we were missing a key part of our order. I called and they offered to refund for the item they didn't deliver, which seems like he minimum they could do under the circumstances. The food we did get was very good, but it was packed in cardboard boxes that got very soggy and messy. Good food, but I won't order again.

Amazing Place is with outdoor patio for weekend branch and evening happy hours. The menu is also extremely authentic and the food was also amazing. Loved the place.

We were able to secure the private room with a long table for our group event, which worked great! Although you could still hear some noise from the bar area, it had great sound acoustics in the private area so there was no problem hearing our speakers who stood at the head of the table presenting to the group. We had pre-selected the menu options before to ensure we had options for all guests (i.e. Vegetarians etc), but there were plenty of options to choose from. Appetizers and sides were served family style. Although I didn't get to try the various dips/spreads we had chosen, the Greek salad and the deviled eggs were awesome. Majority of the group got the salmon, which they enjoyed, but I tried the chicken which came over a flavorful starch. For dessert we each received a mini baklava with scoop of ice Cream and had fresh fruit available. The service was great always coming by to check if everything was ok and if anyone needed drinks. Also, I will give points to the restaurant as they were very accommodating and were able to feature some of our products into the menu we selected, which was key for the group we were hosting the event for. Although didn't enjoy the outside section, it looked quite busy when we arrived as a good after work happy hour spot. Would definitely recommend!

Had dinner with friends at Pera Soho the other night. We were a group of 7 and spent some time at the bar for Happy Hour before sitting. Excellent service at the bar and at the table. Interesting eclectic food with a Middle Eastern slant. Lamb wraps, hummus with pastrami, zucchini balls as appetizers were excellent. Salmon, branzino and steak frites were good as entrees. We didn't have dessert. Everyone was happy with food and service. I will recommend and return.

The food was great we ordered a variety of dishes and appetizers. can not go wrong at this place. We really enjoyed the outside patio. Staff was professional and polite. I will go back for sure.

Relaxing atmosphere with nice drinks and cocktails. Definitely recommend for a Saturday night drink with family and friends, pre or post dinner.

We've just eaten in this restaurant and, I have to say, it was a positive taste explosion! We had the warm humous starter, which was superb, followed by the main course beef sirloin shashlik and my partner had the lamb chops. The meat was so tender and succulent and the taste was just amazing. One of our children ate a burger (lamb!) from the kids' menu and our son had the meatballs from the meze menu - all superb! We shared the poached pear with pear sorbet sweet which was very light and refreshing. Our little family has done a lot of travelling, mostly in Europe, and have found eating out in New York fairly costly and often fairly average. This restaurant was a breath of fresh air and comes very highly recommended by us. The service was excellent and the staff very courteous.

We had 20+ people and they did a very good job. Food was very good, service was excellent. Had a private room so was pretty loud. Patio was really nice. Would like to go back here with a smaller group and sit outside.

Four of us decided we'd go to Soho for a meal and we landed up here. The menu had mostly Turkish dishes although we thought it would be more mixed Mediterranean. The portions were quite large but the food was not tasty. We ordered the mousse and creme brûlée for desserts and both were sub standard. The staff are quite attentive but the food is not so great.

The ambiance is very nice. The service quite good. The food though is average. By any means ask for coffe

A friend recommended this place but honestly is was disappointing. The place is poorly decorated, the chairs are literally peeling off, the service was slow, the cocktails were meh. They should put a lot more effort on their service and lay out.

Cute location in soho with good food. A lot more filling than anticipated. Went for happy hour and prices were good for ny. Would come again for the drinks.

I took my boyfriend for his birthday. The outdoor dining space is so inviting and nicely setup. Due to some light rain, we opted to go inside and it was just as nice. Dim lighting and medium noise level so you can a civil conversation without being loud. The calamari, steak and salmon are to die for (not literally). Everything was so fresh, tender and well seasoned. Definitely recommended

Jon the manager and our server made our visit so special. Thank you and we will definitely be back often!

Lovely atmosphere great food amazing service happy hour is a great dea cucumber coolers are delicious

Food and service ok, but they accepted that a dog peed multiple times next to our table! Absolutely horrible and disgusting.

Excellent atmosphere. The outdoor seating vibe was terrific and the service was quick and excellent. Amazing food as well

The grilled artichokes were fantastic, along with the chicken. Great summer evening to enjoy the beautiful weather and delicious food. Highly recommend!

Today I hosted a luncheon for 15 people. We were seated in the outside gazebo which was private, pretty and relaxing. The food was excellent. The service attentive and helpful. I highly recommend Pera Soho for a special event as well as a lovely dining experience.

Amazing outdoor space. Great service. Delicious drinks and fries. Great happy hour prices. Loved our visit!

We really enjoyed the happy hour. Stayed on for a meal afterwards, which was delicious. We sat inside, but outside is a great place to chill. They have fans which help with the heat of the hot day we went there...

All cocktails, margaritas, and speciality drinks are great! Not crowded even on a Sat night. Truffle fries are delicious. Maybe 2-3 blocks for a subway stop. Plenty of bars and other venues close by! I would 100% return!

Great Happy hour deals! Outside patio was great along with inside bar. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Will be returning again soon!

Went here for lunch on a beautiful day in NYC and the food was very good however be prepared to wait. They have one wait staff for the whole outside! We couldn't get water and it was 85 degrees outside. If you want a slow meal but good food this is your place.

Great place in Soho right in the heart of it all with very friendly staff good options for appetizers on the menu as well as craft cocktails. Even with the rain the experience was great. Would definitely say a couples place to go

We dinned outside, private seating COVID-19 isolated. Impeccable service. Our order included the hummus and smoked eggplant to start, followed by lentil soup, the octopus and the gnocchi. We closed with baclava. Consistent quality in each round.

The food and happy hour is great. The service isn’t amazing. Waiter was a bit rude when we ordered another drink, he came back letting us know he had made last call even though we ordered another drink before happy hour was over. But definitely go for the apps and cocktails! I recommend the cucumber cooler.

The place is beautiful absolutely lovely! I definitely will come here again! Great atmosphere, great people

I love this place so much. I’ve been working in the neighborhood for 5 years and Pera has always been my after work spot. Their zucchini balls and egg plant garlic yogurt dip are SOOOO GOOD.

Probably no better a venue on a hot summer evening. Open air seating, great service, high quality food from a wide ranging menu. Happy hour was a bonus but the music was (unnecessarily) a little too loud to be able to talk to each other without yelling / straining. That aside, it would have earned 4 stars.

Go to pera soho and get the LAHANA SALATA and for main course FETTUCINE “POLITIKA”. We had a ton of apps to start but I had no idea what anything was. They were all extremely delicious.

We met our adult daughters here for a fun and lovely meal. The food and atmosphere were excellent! We started with cocktails at the bar because we were early for our reservation. We sat outside on their large patio and our server was attentive. We chose several appetizers to share including the dips and burrata. We then shared 3 entrees including the steak, chicken and salmon and brussel sprouts and potatoes bravas. The portions were large and cooked perfectly. If the weather is nice, you should deforest try to get a table outside. We had a great experience here and will definitely return!

We came here for a late lunch after walking the Brooklyn Bridge and wandering around SoHo... it was a warm day so we sat in the outdoor area. We had chicken / salad in Pita bread and a beer... simple food done well :-).

We found this place online and were delighted too do so. Excellent and innovative menu with a Mediterranean/Middle Eastern emphasis, an interesting wine list with good range of choices and terrific service. On a Friday evening it wasn't busy, but deserved to be - we will definitely be coming back when we are in town.

Had a great evening, we were two couples. The open air space is devine for a beautiful summer evening. The next day, however, we were all bed and bathroom bound with stomach ailments. We narrowed it down to the eggplant yogurt dip or the octopus. My advice would be- do happy hour here or after dinner drinks. Avoid eating things that are not cooked. Remember. "If you smell something, say something!" At least, don't be shy to send things back. Enjoy the garden and the cocktails. There are plenty of food options down the block that are awesome.

This place has a wonderful outdoor patio and a beautiful indoor dining room. Service by Frankie is friendly and gracious. Food is a delicious mix of Greek and Turkish dishes. My fav are cheese cigars, watermelon and feta salad, octopus, rice with nuts and raisins, delicious side dishes and drinks. I regret not coming here sooner.

I'll just tell you that, the food is mediocre (at best), but the crazy and UNACCEPTABLE thing is that after the lunch, I tried to pay and one of the waitress took a picture of my credit card (front and BACK) and a picture of my ID (front and BACK)

I visited Pera with friends and we had a great time sitting outside sipping rose♥️ Try Soho blossom cocktail! They have happy hour 😀

Great service and amazing outdoor lounge. Great happy hour deals and delicious appetizers. Cucumber coolers are the best!

We planned our co-ed baby shower at the Pera and was truly a great experience. I cant say that for a lot of parties i have hosted in other nyc restaurants. Management was wonderful and helpful, the food was great (the chef even stopped by!), and the waiters were very attentive. It rained so we had to move inside but your team made that a very smooth process. Food was really good too, lots options for the party to choose, bill was all correct and easy to pay, drama-free.

We only had drinks here, so I cannot comment on the food. Our drinks were terrific. Great outdoor patio. All of the food we saw coming out certainly did look good. I would definitely return here for a dinner some time. Service was very good.

Wonderful drinks and great atmosphere! Love the inside bar, very friendly staff. We stayed at the inside bar for a while and had a great time during happy hour.

Set in one of the best parts of NYC this restaurant offers courtyard or indoor (freezing aircon!) dining. We sat outside. Menu is broad and food was well presented. Wine list was good with a range of sensibly priced wines. We shared a selection of starters - the octopus was excellent. The salmon main was good as was the gnocchi.

We came here just after brunch on a Sunday and it was virtually empty less a few soccer enthusiasts. Yes, there was a game going on the big screen both inside and outside. But we had a hankering for something char- grilled and decided to sit down anyway and are so glad we did. The game finished soon. We got some really good Raki and some tasty Mediterranean bites with a modern twist. Char-grilled octopus with fava beans, labne and crispy flat bread. So good. The patio on the usually busy corner of Thomson and Broom Street was surprisingly peaceful and quiet. We really like it here.

Great drinks. Great bites. Dog Friendly. Fresh Vibes. Good Tunes. This place feels like an escape from the buzz that is NY.

Fine dining, amazing cocktails and great Friday night vibes! Turkish coffe and baklava as bonus. Enjoy!

Beautiful space, Mediterranean menu, perfectly executed cocktails, great for HH. The rooftop is great for the summertime.

Drinks: 5/5/ Service: 5/5 Cleanliness: 5/5 Decor & Style: 5/5 LOVE the patio here. We sat here for hours just chillin'. We went at 1pm so there was not a crowd therefore service was super fast. Cocktails were great and so was the beer selection. (We did not order food). Would come back here just to chill on the patio again!

Went to the bar for happy hour and it was so so fun! Great bartender, great environment, and great drink selection.

The ambience is fun and relaxed. The staff is lovely. Delicious food. Our party staggered in and the staff really accommodate our arrival challenges.

Food and service was great! Me and my friend really enjoyed ourselves. Only wish there was more fans outside to keep that area cool in the summer. Besides that great vibe.

Amazing food, & staff friendly, enjoy the experience would definitely come back with my other friends

Sitting here with ten friends for one hour and half and still waiting for plates. Awful service, extremely noisy and chaotic place, stay away from here, there are so many better places in NY where customers are spoiled and value for money is ways better

This was a stumble upon delight for us. With warmer weather in January we were able to sit on enclosed porch. Flatbread pizza and seasoned fries were delicious. Even better was the Bloody Mary.

A bit pricey for me but the rest of my friends enjoyed it. Appetizers came out in a short time. Dinner was good and the restaurant was very clean.

Good, not great brunch during restaurant week. Staff was attentive with water (a big plus given the 90* heat) but made an error with our order and had to re-do 2 of 4 mains. Poached eggs overcooked in 2 of 3 Benedicts but flavours were very good.

We took our early evening aperitifs/cocktails here. My cucumber margherita was so so. Nice meze though. Friendly and fast service.

Good specials on food and drinks! Rose sangria was great! And the cucumber cooler. We didn’t order appps but they looked awesome

Very enjoyable lunch, good choice of dishes. Comfortable seating with outdoor option. Good service and ok prices given the quality of the food. Would happily return. A selection of Meze makes a good way of tasting a wide range of food.

Many restaurants were closed during thanksgiving. We were well welcomed even if we were early. We were able to get seated in a warm place while they got ready for lunch time The food was extremely tasty, well cooked. The waiter provide good description of the menu and did not impose the thanksgiving menu. The place is well decorated and very clean

Cons: Appetizer-sized main courses; portable AC fan that blew things around and tables asked to turn away; disagreeable management “policies.” Shows disregard for customers. Pro: great service. We will not go back.

We came across this place whilst walking in Soho. It has a great atmosphere to it and a great location. The staff are friendly and the service was efficient however the food was only average. Its a shame really because our expectations (based on the set up of the restaurant) were high. Maybe a good place to try for lunch rather than dinner.

We ordered, several appetizers, beet with goat cheese, so so, lots of cumin; the rolled meat with dates ( did not remember the name), was good; the flat bread with fig and goat cheese was very good. I ordered the Portuguese calamari, was good; two orders of marinated beef with frittes, very good. The baklava, excellent. They do not have bottles bubbly water but their house made seltzer, not good and kind of expensive since they were home made. Not bubbly as we like. Over all this restaurant was good but very noisy, not the establishment's doing.

Such a great place to have a drink, to eat or even to spend a some time with friends or solo. The staff is really, really kind and helpful! Just love it!

Enjoyed sharing the food family style and liked the ambiance, but unfortunately the service did not match. We had to wave our server over for everything and were not checked in on. Don’t regret going but I think this is something they could improve on! Cocktail was DELISH

Very good and well recommended. Service drags it to below the line No caring / suggetions and somewhat rudness is main behaviour. Maybe was not a good day
