    We had dinner on Valentine’s Day, and ordered the specials entree’s. We shared a Caesar salad and oysters on the half as appetizers. Everything was beautifully prepared and presented. Our waiter was excellent…he knew the menu and was able to suggest the perfect cocktail and wine to complement our evening. We went back for a night cap the next night, and the night manager recognized us and came over to introduce herself. She was super friendly and we shared a nice conversation. The Sore Club is a wonderful, classy venue. We’ll be back!

    We went for the special Valentine’s Day dinner, it was a 3 course meal. It was absolutely delicious! The steak was some of the best I’ve ever had, and the tuna tartare was so fresh. I would absolutely recommend this place for a date night! We will be coming back.

    Boyfriend and I did a "knock off" Valentine dinner the day before to avoid big crowds and overpriced menus. We were NOT disappointed. We considered the tasting menu offered, but decided to get our own mix of plates. Our server, Danielle, suggested 3-5 plates would be a good number for us and we went with it. 2 Tacos - Fish and Beef Both great but the beef stood-out. Had a discussion specifically about going back for a Taco Tuesday because of it, Pork Belly Bao Buns Did not expect the blueberry compote to be so complimentary.. LOVED them. We were also unsure if it would be presented braised (like the other pork belly on their menu) or cripsy.. Crispy and PERFECT Pork & Shrimp Dumplings We were skeptical because an online review described them as "ok" and that they could find better at their grocery store.. Please forward me the address of the grocery store you use because DAMN. These were an open-faced, flavorful delight. Yellowfin Tuna Sashimi We've had Tuna Sashimi before and liked it, but this was a little different. Thicker pieces than we anticipated and so. damn. good. Sichuan Pretzel Bites This was probably our least favourite dish, but not because it wasn't great but because it wasn't as special as the other dishes. The portion and flavour was great, dips were awesome. Can't wait to go back.
