Something New In SOMA - Marlowe

I am so excited we got a new neighborhood bistro * Marlowe * in SOMA. Well, it may not be new, new but it’s new to me. I think it opened up in the last six months. It’s a small laid back place that can be easily overlooked from the outside. It’s housed in a brick building across from the Caltrain station. From the outside it may not look too appetizing to come in but the inside is very cozy. For a small venue the wine selection is good. They offer 10 reds and 10 whites. I just went for a glass of wine and was easily tempted to try the baked oysters New England chowder in a shell. As soon as I tried it, I wished I had ordered more than one. The food menu had a lot of things I would love to try on my next visit like the Crispy Brussels sprout chips. Marlowe has a lot to offer the neighborhood despite its random location.

Osha Opened On Third

I am excited that 2010 has brought some new food choices to SOMA! Osha Thai Restaurant joining the SOMA neighborhood. I tried it a couple of weeks ago and found the food to live up to the good reputation as the other ones throughout the city.

The menu is similar to the other restaurants except I found that this one had a big selection of German Rieslings. I am not sure what the obsession is with Riesling but it goes really well with the Thai dishes so I welcomed it.

There's hope that Osha's dishes will spice up our SOMA neighborhood in 2010.
