👍👍 Love this place! I went in twice already and both times the food, cocktails and service was phenomenal. Favorite dish was the Jerk Chicken and favorite drink was the Rum Punch. Decor is beyond anything I’ve seen in Petersburg. Definitely recommend. I’ll be going back for sure! People often mention service, great, atmosphere,

    First off this place is WHOLE VIBE! This lounge gives a grown and sexy feel. The areas are all themed and have some amazing murals that give all the feels. I loved the DJ, the music was on point. Let's talk food....Babyyyyyyy them HONEY OLD BAY WINGS!! Get them!!! They had had me in a chokehold! That fried fish and jerk wings was something else too... I will definitely be back for them! Drinks were top tier and very pretty. This place is great for all types of events because of it size.. you can really spread out. I can not wait to go back, truly a VIBE!

    This place is so cute! The ambiance is different in every room, it's clean, the service is amazing, and most of all.....the food 🙌🏼 I had the jerk chicken, my husband the fish, and daughter the Mac and cheese and we all loved it. It was flavorful, and you can tell they've been cooking for a long time because the seasonings in every meal were perfect! We will absolutely return!!!!

    I have visited the Sōshel Bistro twice. The ambience is perfect! The dim lights, great music, and spectacular atmosphere make this a fun, enjoyable and relaxed environment were you can socialize with friends. The alcoholic beverages and food were delicious! I had the Island fried shrimp as an appetizer followed by the fried fish, Mac & cheese and cabbage! Food was well seasoned and the presentation was great! The staff is very friendly and attentive! I’m looking forward to returning soon!

    Food is great atmosphere is incredible. Wait staff and bartenders very patient, friendly and professional. Those honey old bay wings oh my God! You have to try them.. The hookah lounge is relaxing and colorful nothing like I’ve ever experienced before. I would recommend them to everyone. Come through and enjoy your weekend at soshel bistro

    Let me tell you about my first experience at SoShell. 🥰 I was invite to come out and celebrate with a friend for her Birthday. The music and the energy was amazing so you know I had to order myself a strawberry mimosa and food. I order myself some bacon, potatoes and cheese eggs. Everything was so good beside the eggs. I also ordered me some wings to go and asked for my wings to be "EXTRA crispy" and "Kountre" made sure she hooked her niece up. The best on the menu so far. I will def be back.

    I recently held a surprise brunch for my mother at Soshel. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was great. The Soshel staff were amazing, the brunch set up for our party was beautiful, the drinks were the icing on the cake . The owner even checked in to make sure that was everything perfect. I definitely plan to return sooner than later.

    My personal experiences...I love the atmosphere. Food is a bit pricey for the quantity but the prices keep the trouble away so its a safe spot to chill especially for Petersburg Va lol. The service is definitely subpar at best. But for a man looking for a variety of woman this is for you. It's always 15 woman to 1 man ratio . Enjoy 💯

    I absolutely love Soshel Bistro! I have eaten at this establishment many times since they opened and have not been disappointed. My first visit I was taken on a tour and shown the different seating areas. Each room has its on vibe, and I absolutely love the murals on the walls. I have been to Soshel with friends and family and they all were really pleased with the service and the food. The crab cakes are delicious and a must try! I will return!

    Pretty basic brunch experience - a little overpriced considering the location & the service is almost non existent. Any time we wanted a beverage we left our table to go directly to the bar. Food is nothing special, we went somewhere else afterwards to eat.
