Soma Downtown Grill - Phillipsburg

We stopped by for dinner and had a pleasant experience. The staff was very friendly, and the food was tasty at reasonable prices. I did feel like we waited a bit longer for our meals than expected, but they were worth the wait. The relaxation area could use some improvement in terms of appearance, though. Overall, a nice place to dine!

The food quality and portion sizes are definitely worth the price. There's a great variety of dishes on the menu, and the staff is friendly. The outdoor seating is lovely, making it perfect for a pleasant evening outside. Make sure to book a reservation ahead of time, as this place is quite popular for good reason. I would definitely return.

We found this place just prior to our wedding, my now-wife had lunch with a co-worker and they loved the place and food. We liked the setting and atmosphere so much that we booked our wedding dinner there, and later a baby shower brunch. Chris is very fantastic, and the crew that ran both of our event's did an absolutely top-notch job handling both events! We are VERY impressed with the service and level of attention given to our parties during both events. The food was amazing, and they made both events very enjoyable and relaxing for us. The prices for events are VERY reasonable as well, and Chris was incredibly relaxing and accommodating to work with for both events. I can't recommend this place enough! For the ease of dealing with them, the incredible and professional service, and the price... we found a real gem of a place and will definitely be using this venue for future events!

An all around good experience. Yesterday was my first time here, and I was pleasantly surprised by the unassuming bar on the riverside. The fresh spring weather certainly helped with the ambiance, as it made for the perfect day to sit outside and watch the boats go by after being trapped inside all winter. More importantly, the food was quite good. At the end of the day, it’s bar food, but bar food done well. Instead of chicken fingers they had boneless fried chicken and fries, hand breaded even. Though the batter could have used some seasonings, a little hot sauce and honey kept me quite content. The fish and chips was a nice portion, and tasted fresh as well, no hint of burnt oil that would absolutely ruin this meal. We only had a pitcher of beer, which was good, so I son’t have much to say about their drink menu this time around. The service was the only place that was somewhat lacking, however these days I don’t really hold that against folks, I just tend to give extra praise when the service is exceptional.

The lobster ravioli practically melts in your mouth, and the roasted shrimp Po' Boy sandwich is one of the best I've ever had in the Northeast—I’d rate it a 6 out of 5 if I could! I'm definitely going to be a repeat customer. Even the owner took the time to check on us, which speaks volumes about his character. We'll be back for more!
