SOBO is delicious, sophisticated and just the right mix of casual and contemporary.
I am in love with fish right now and am working or rather eating my way through every type of fish to find the favorites and flesh out the bad. My first visit to SOBO was with my dear friend, after a day of the slopes we wanted some sophistication combined with good food and well mixed spirits. We found both.
Starting with a glass of Malbec, we shared a a roasted beet and goat cheese salad. I went out on a whim and choose the special (I consider myself a picky food snob and usually go for the tried and true menu items, but this sounded too good to pass up)-an Arctic Char with a mint tzatziki sauce, served with a wild rice cake and braised mushrooms and swiss chard.
Oh medley of flavors! This was incredible.
My "date" choose a sea bass steeped in a miso broth with bok choy and fennel salad. The plump shrimp dumpling floating in the broth added just another bite of mouth excitement.
Our desserts were another round of drinks. I choose to move on from wine to the Harvey Wallbanger...a grown-up, refreshing twist on vodka and fruity mixed drinks.
I love the open kitchen aspect of the place and SOBO sports an amazing glass wine cellar. My only complaints would be our server could have been a bit more knowledgeable about the food and the noise levels tend to be a bit high with the industrial type ceilings.
This will be a place on my meals-to-remember list.
