" I stopped by Sonya's on a rainy Seattle evening. If you're looking for a cozy bar, this is it! I had the spicy wings and they were fantastic! The heat was just right and I appreciated the generous portion. The atmosphere was perfect for a laid-back night out – warm interior with great lighting. One downside was the service; the staff was friendly but got a bit overwhelmed with the crowd. Still, I'd say it’s worth a visit for the wings alone! " (*Curated Review*)

" We were a party of five celebrating a friend's birthday at Sonya's, and I have mixed feelings about the outing. The ambiance was perfect for our gathering, and there was a great vibe in the room. I ordered the pasta, and while the flavor was spot on, the portion was smaller than I had hoped. The bartender, however, was a bit dismissive when I asked about drink specials and that took away from the experience. Overall, I’d consider returning for the food, but I hope for better service next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" While Sonya's has potential, my visit fell flat. The outdoor seating area was charming, but the staff seemed disorganized during lunch service. I had to repeat my order multiple times, and there was a mix-up with my bill at the end. The food was good, especially the tacos, but I couldn’t overlook the service issues. I would like to try this place again on a quieter day, as I think it could shine with better management. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited to try Sonya's based on the reviews. However, my experience was subpar. The ambiance was lively, but the bartender was rude and dismissive. I felt like a burden when I asked a question about the menu. The food was decent; I had a burger, but I expected better service from what I heard. I may consider giving them another shot, hoping that the service improves. " (*Curated Review*)

" The chowder at Sonya's is the best I’ve ever had! My partner and I came here for a date night, and everything from the decor to the food exceeded our expectations. The menu had a cozy feel with a variety of options. Although we had to wait a while for our drinks, it was well worth the wait. This is definitely a spot I’ll come back to, especially for that chowder and a cozy evening. " (*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*)
