Mark Soyka (of News Café and Van Dyke Café) does it again with this stylish urban eatery. Located on a previously woebegone, restaurantless strip of Biscayne, Soyka was a pioneer offering for Bay Point and Upper Eastside locals to hang out. Its bistro fare includes burgers, elaborate salads, and upscale sandwiches such as the turkey club on country toast. Designer entrées, which can be pricey and uneven, include seared salmon with spinach and shiitake mushrooms, chicken livers with bacon and onions, and grilled chicken and vegetables with tomato-olive relish. Pluses include sides of macaroni and cheese, a kids' menu along with a hearty tolerance for ankle biters, and rich chocolate cake for dessert. To mark its tenth anniversary, Soyka launched a permanent breakfast service, with chef Luis Lopez preparing diner-style breakfast fare bearing commuter-friendly names such as "The Early Riser" (three eggs any style with bacon, ham, or sausage and choice of sliced tomato, house potatoes, or oatmeal for $8) and "The Workout" (a protein-packed egg-white omelet with turkey, onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, and spinach for $9.75). A selection of "Transfer Sandwiches" ranges from the ordinary - egg with cheese, bacon, or ham on a croissant, bagel, or country bread for $8 - to the extraordinary - matzo and smoked salmon for $9.25.

Talk about your power dressing. While the suits are likely to be seen mixing it up with the beatniks in this converted warehouse on the edge of an up-and-coming arts and design district, your eyes will be fixed upon your plate should you order one of several caesar salads from Soyka's stable menu. Though the linchpin of the caesar -- the dressing -- is tart and peppery, chef Kevin Wright's version is also creamy and a bit earthy, making the relatively good-for-you salad, which can come...

You remember the scene in Steve Martin's movie The Lonely Guy, when he goes to a restaurant to dine alone. He says to the maitre d': "I'd like a table for one," to which the man loudly replies, "A table for one?" The entire place goes quiet. A spotlight is directed on the lonely guy as he's escorted to his table. After he's seated and the staff pointedly takes away the setting across from him, he finally asks them to kindly turn off the light. That pretty much sums it up. There are few other... More »
