So Far Bistro & Steakhouse

Wonderful dinner!

Great atmosphere and really good food and wine. However, we were disappointed that there wasn’t any live music on this particular Friday evening!

O prato marroquino é excepcional!

Mycket god mat som var fint presenterad.

Great food and good atmosphere

Very slow service at start but the quality of the meal made it all better.

Truly one of the best meals I have ever had. Everything felt special.

We expected much better food, specially the meat dishes. The dishes looked much better than they tasted. If they call themself a steakhouse, they should be able to serve good meat meals, but the spareribs were very dry and it was really not much meat on the bones and the Carpaccio was not of good quality, salty and dry (if you have already eaten good somewhere else you would know the food was of low quality). Other issue was the hectic waiter who asked even twice for preferences during one person of two was not at the table. It is also pretty tricky to offer 50% and 20% off the bill, but netto (!) and add afterwords all taxes. It was the first time we booked via the fork and it was unfortunately a disappointing experience at this restaurant.

Recomendo!! 5*

Very welcoming service, well trained staff, excellent food - just a great experience.

Voltarei a repetir! Recomendo

Compliments to Chef Andres! He prepared a 7 course meal for my wife and me who were celebrating a major milestone. They were extremely warm and attentive and made our evening very special. The food and wine pairings were tremendous and it made for a wonderful and memorable evening. Outstanding!

The food, service and overall experience were amazing. The interior is nice and cozy, I felt a bit sorry for the restaurant that due to low season they didn’t have enough customers. The food itself was perfect , we ordered steaks and some grilled meat - both were perfect. We even sent our compliments to the chef. Highly recommended.l and worth every cent spent!

From the moment we entered the restaurant we were made to feel welcome. Waiter explained about the different meat choices and recommended a lovely red wine to accompany our food. Lovely chilled relaxed vibe to the place and felt like we were special customers. Food was sublime. We have booked again for the Friday because we enjoyed it so much.

Super delicious and wonderful service. We will come again for sure!

The food was wonderful and so beautifully presented . The service was kind, thoughtful , attentive and knowledgable . A really lovely experience.

Top!

Great food and atmosphere in an unusual setting, plus a live band from 8.00pm! This was not our first visit to So Far and it certainly won’t be our last!

Great atmosphere and very well decorated. We enjoyed the salad with chickpea crust which was very delicious. Steak and lamb were finely cooked with nice side dish.
