" I had high hopes for Sonya’s based on the buzz but unfortunately, it was just average. The food tasted good but didn’t stand out in terms of authenticity. I ordered a salad, which was fresh but quite basic. It seemed like something I could easily make at home. The service was just okay — it took a while to get someone’s attention for our drinks. I think there’s potential, but I left feeling underwhelmed. " (*Curated Review*)

" Sonya's Seattle was a delightful surprise on our trip! The live music in the back created a wonderful atmosphere for my family. We ordered a variety of dishes, and each one had unique flavors. The fried chicken was crispy and delicious. Service was quick even though the place was packed. I felt very welcomed here, and I can see why this bar is a favorite among locals. I will definitely come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Sonya's last weekend and was really hoping for a great experience based on online recommendations. The atmosphere was enjoyable, with a nice water view from the back area. I tried the fish sandwich, which was decent, but the bread could be fresher. The service, however, was a bit rocky — our waiter seemed overwhelmed. Overall, it was okay, but I think I would try somewhere else next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I found Sonya's to be a fun casual place. Great for a quick drink, yet it seems to have an identity crisis. Is it a dive? Is it a fancy bar? The atmosphere was buzzing, and the drinks were good, but maintenance on some food items is needed. I had a taco, and it tasted like it was pre-packaged. Would I go back? Maybe, but I hope they decide to stick with one theme. " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience I had at Sonya's unfortunately did not live up to the hype. While the drinks were well priced, my meal was lukewarm, and my order took a while to arrive. I could tell that the staff was trying, but we faced several delays. The environment is quaint, though, with interesting decor and a bustling crowd. I think with better organization, the experience could improve significantly. I'd like to see more effort put into the meal timing and service. " (*Curated Review*)

" Sonya's has quickly become one of my favorite spots in Seattle! Their chowder is a must-try, so creamy and full of flavor. I love the casual but cozy vibe; it feels like home. The servers are generally friendly, though they can get busy during peak hours. I liked their nachos, as well — such a generous portion! Definitely a place I’ll be returning to regularly with friends. Highly recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I truly enjoyed my visit to Sonya's! The ambiance was relaxing, which was perfect after a long day of sightseeing. The server was kind and attentive, ensuring we were well taken care of. The food was delightful too; I had the fish and chips and it didn’t disappoint. A generous portion, and the fish was perfectly fried. An all-around fabulous experience! " (*Curated Review*)
