Wow. So disappointing. I sat down for ten minutes (they seated me at a table that hadn't been cleaned, that's ok because it was the only small one available) and walked out without getting any water. I had to stop a busser just to get a menu.
3:45 on a Friday afternoon, it wasn't that busy, and other tables got their menus and water before me. And yes, they came in after me.
It was only when I stood up to leave that the server came by to ask how I was. I am not impressed!
I am not sure why this place has so so reviews. And I literally lived on the same block forever but never got to try this place until now. Wish I knew this place before.
My friend and I were so thirsty so we were looking for anywhere to get some drink and we just walked in.
I always thought this place was one of restaurants on W Broadway which I am not really fan of… but yes, they do have food menu there but surprisingly they have great refreshment menu.
Place Was packed so we sat at the bar and we both got fresh fruity drink. You can literally ask anything you want, the waiter ( didn't get his name) was so knowledgable with drink and he kindly accommodated any special order we asked. I asked for ginger, lime and mint ice tea. I wanted to be sweet but not sugary so I had it with honey. Yum and super fresh. My friend got strawberry lemonade and there were good amount of fresh strawberries in her drink. She absolutely loved it. Waiter even gave to us free rose wine on the house. Awesome! . It got really busy during weekend and hard to grab a seat but fresh tea and great service just make everything worth it.
For the benefit of the doubt on tea drinks that we didn't get to try, I am rounding up half a star for my review.
We came on a Sunday afternoon for a quick bite. The store was pretty empty (and now I know why). My chicken wrap literally felt like a kid made it as part of science experiment (did that sound too harsh.. I'm not sorry). Too many parts of the chicken were charred, salad drenched in dressing, and the tortilla wrap is barely holding the whole thing together as it is made so loosely that it sadly falls off.
I also have to complain about the lack of protection for the entrance in the winter time. We sat in the seat next to the door and every time someone left and came in, boy did we feel it. My legs were numb from the freezing air by the time food got served. So no, I won't be going back.
Well I basically feel like I drank a cup of olive oil…
We wanted to be spontaneous so dropped in. Also the prices were decent. Put in our order and waited a good 30 minutes for it to come out. The restaurant was scorching hot, they didn't have the AC on, only two fans which didn't seem to do anything. I ordered the shrimp with white wine in a garlic sauce. It came out in a bowl, and was literally plain shrimp sitting in a bowl of olive oil with some garlic on the bottom and one parsley leaf barely chopped up. I couldn't taste the white wine acidity and this is where the overdose of olive oil comes in. I also ordered the zucchini fries which were horrendous. They basically took a zucchini, cut it into fourths length wise, and dropped it in a deep fryer. It was more like deep fried zucchini chunks with no flavor and too much oil. I couldn't eat it and sent it back. Luckily they comped us for this and the waitress was sympathetic about how the dish is misleading.
My husband had the lemongrass chicken which was virtually flavorless and overlooked. Nothing is worse than dry chicken.
The decor was pretty and drinks seemed interesting but I will not, absolutely not, ever come back. And please do yourself a favor and walk a few streets up to Spring where there is much better food.
Keeping it to two stars because the waitress was nice and bartender friendly.
French 45 and dill cocktails for a summer Friday. Delicious! Recommend as a spot to relax and people watch while enjoying delicious food!
Came here for a late lunch the other day. The place is very cozy and the service is great. I ordered the fish tacos and Kale salad, I could've passed on the tacos but the Kale salad was pretty yummy although it had a bit too much cheese on it.
The best part of this place is the drinks…..they are awesome. I tried their white wine Sangria and it was perfect. The place is also pretty pricey.
don't know about you, but i am always finding myself 'stranded' in soho. yes, that sounds absolutely insane considering nyc is full of activities/people/treats, but hopefully someone feels me on this absurdity. imagine my surprise when i recently stopped by here w/ my partner in crime. they have matcha tea available and a soundtrack that even i, a self-proclaimed music snob, can appreciate. treats are also bangin'. never again will i be 'starving' or 'lost' in soho!
Sanctuary T will go down as one of my biggest lunch fails. And I don't think there's any way to resuscitate that.
With my old job being proximate to SoHo (where you can find trust fund babes with healthy diets), I had been wanting to try Sanctuary T but was reluctant to spend at least $14 for just a wrap–and that's only one of the cheapest options. But one day–for whatever reason–I gave in and decided to finally order from here.
I got the Chicken Wrap and it was a mess. It came with a side salad in a box and my wrap was soaked in oil and dressing, I had to wipe my hands every time I put my food down with the one napkin they gave me. Needless to say, it didn't go very well. For a $14 wrap, you think they would separate the salad in a separate container, rather than trying to fit both in a box–or at least have the dressing on the side. I think I was really expecting the wrap to be amazing or something but it was nothing to write home about–I think they're more known for their tea selection, but I doubt it's anything spectacular. If anything, it looks like unpackaged Teavana (or whatever shit quality commercial tea leaves they're overpricing these days) or a yuppie version of Alice's Tea Cup.
Perhaps coming back for happy hour or tea may be an option, but I definitely will not be ordering the food again.
