Best date-night restaurants in SoHo

SoHo date night in this directory is four rooms, and only one of them has a published day count. The hour on that one is still missing. Everything below was checked on October 24, 2026.

Difficulty on this page is a Midnight Table estimate, not official Resy or OpenTable data, and not a guarantee of a table. Booking notes were checked on the date under each restaurant. A restaurant can change the window after that.

Alerts is $12 a month and watches the drop. Concierge books in your name, on the restaurant's own platform. Membership and pricing. The Guestlist is the free weekly letter.
