by David B. on Whats up with me. Is it wrong if a man orders a Watermelon Martini in here. I'm ok with that. No one is watching. No one judges you here. Can I hold my head high after drinking a few of these..no. Damn strong. Mixed well and served up with panazz from a bow-tie gentleman. Low-lit. Candlelight. Reflections from the liquor behind the bar. Piano bar loungy. Conversationally appealing to all the senses. Whats that? I had too much to drink? No, that just the reflection of the candles through my infused vodka drink. Love it. Its sexy like that. Perfect after dinner spot where you know the night is too young to move on and yet old enough and comfortable in itself to metro order a 'tini. Love SOMA!
by Monica L. on I almost forgot to review this! So a good friend of mine is the bar manager at the St. Regis in San Francisco so I am a little spoiled when I go in for a lovely glass of wine. But I don't think I was off in expecting five star service to coincide with five star prices. I thought the space was great - very old guard. However, I was severely disappointed by service at the King Cole Bar. Our waiter fawned over every other table but ours - the two ladies laden with jewelry and enough botox to paralyze the entire UES took up most of his attention. I don't need you to kiss my ass but I'd like to order my drink without having to have a siezure to get your attention. He also seemed to look down on us when we ordered a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and a martini. Excuse me, but don't you live in Hoboken?
