Momoya SoHo
The place is very typically Soho. Fresh, colorful, modern. Perfectly fine for a brunch date or dinner.
The food wasn't anything remarkable enough to justify the high prices though it was decent. The souffle pancakes were definitely way more dense than I like in my souffle pancakes. Fish was good quality and fresh.
It was very cold in the restaurant. They had AC blasting and I was chilly in just a dress.
They do not have coffee!!!!

BLUE MEZZE BAR
This review is for a Sunday brunch. My friend and I arrived around 1:30pm and the place was packed and LOUD. There was both ambient music, and a live sax player (please pick one and don't have both going simultaneously).
The tables are crowded pretty closely together which adds to the somewhat oppressive noise and general chaos of the place. We were elbow to elbow against tables on either side and all parties had to raise their voices to compete with the noise. The sax player had to weave between tables, often through very narrow pathways.
It finally started emptying out toward the end of our meal.
The food was just okay. The cream of crab soup I got was tasty but had no pieces of crab in it and was very thin. My garlic spinach was unremarkable and too salty. My friend got a sampler plate with cheese and the cheese seemed like it was just standard grocery store cheese.
The servers seemed to be mostly checked out and were pretty forgetful. They mostly seemed to want to stand in the back and chitchat. Our server first forgot to bring us our check, and then forgot to bring us change.

Depending on what you're here for, it's either a fantastic time or a sticky hot sweaty mess.
It's usually 18+ so sometimes the place is teeming with drink children who cannot hold their liquor.
Some concerts or shows with older audiences can be great though. Very centrally located and there's plenty of late night food options around.

Very lovely, inviting space with great brunch options. Their free banana bread for the table is fresh and excellent!
Coffee is strong, portions are generous. The tornado omelette was a special highlight.

Burgers were absolutely perfect! They DO have a lettuce wrap option even though it's not on the menu, for the calorie-conscious. Absolutely recommend the Bluicy.
Servers were nice albeit a little spacey and inexperienced, but it's not a fancy place so it's fine.
Our server told us the fried kale side (crack kale) was healthier than getting fries...it did NOT taste healthy. It was drowning in grease, practically dripping with it. Would not recommend.
Good decor, nice for a chill evening with friends. A bit too casual for a date.
