Hot & Soul
TEMPORARILY CLOSED
The restaurant space has been closed since March 15, 2018. If you would like to see more about our closing, you can read the blog post about it. Since then, we have done several pop ups at local breweries. We will continue to do pop ups & other dinners & events until we are able to open a new space. Until then... please follow us on facebook or instagram.
Opening Date: April 9, 2013, 4pm.
Hot & Soul is a restaurant 16 years in the making. Since we packed our bags in Boston and moved to New Orleans, our goal had been to one day own our own restaurant. Over the years, we've learned how to cook the classics, new techniques and everything in between. In New Orleans we learned about tradition, spice and bold flavors. When we moved to San Diego, we learned about craft beer, fresh ingredients, ethnic cooking, and sourcing from small farms and fisherman. Here in South Florida, we see the emergence of the burger bars, the gastropubs, craft breweries and comfort food made with quality ingredients. All along, we've found little mom and pop restaurants, where the owners cook and serve the food, and you can taste the care taken to make it. We wanted to create that kind of small restaurant feel. We've merged our desires for the kind of restaurant we would like to go to, as well as the kind of restaurant that we would like to work in. We hope you will come and appreciate our vision!
Our menu is comprised of the food and flavors that we have grown up with, discovered and fell in love with. We have Filipino chicken adobo, Louisiana gumbo, oxtail gnocchi as well a few vegetarian items such as soba noodle salad and vegan coconut polenta with mushroom gravy.
Our beer list changes and includes brews from various craft breweries including Stone, Cigar City, Ballast Point, Founders, Peak Organic & Funky Buddha. Our wine list will also change, but will always feature interesting wines from lessor known small winemakers.
We are not fine dining, and we drop lots of the pretentious service that often gets in the way of a good meal. We only have a few tables, so we only take reservations for parties of 5 or larger. If we are busy, peak time is between 7 - 8:30. If you are less than 5 people and you don't want to wait, try to come in before or after peak hours. Or, if you have to wait, we will try to make every effort to get you seated as soon as possible. We have a small staff, so sometimes we might have a free table, but we might not seat you right away if we feel that we will not be able to get to you right away. So, please be patient! We try our best to give you a warm and satisfying experience!
We have a large communal table where you can sit and chat with your neighbors and make new friends, if you prefer this to the regular tables. Our communal table is made from the wood of 100 year old tobacco barns in Kentucky, and the base is big thick plumbers piping. We found the carpenter who built the communal table and the bars on Etsy!
We hope you will come and give us a try, maybe have a new food experience, or taste a beer or wine you've never had!
