We were invited to dinner at Sophias last Saturday. The moment we were sat down we felt like we were in a vitrine. Service is mostly fine and attentive but lacks coordination. Entrees arrived and table was not set and ready for it. Servers hardly have room to move around in between tables and among so many pieces of furniture.... More

I went with my friends to celebrate my birthday. the service is very good and the food is excellent. We ordered everything; lobster, fish, pasta, carpacchio, entries, drinks. I liked everything. My favorite was the fish... sweet and tender they bake it fist in the oven and then flame it in your table. is a must see show! However I... More

Great location and atmosphere. Creative dishes and good portions. Not really confident in their ability to avoid food allergies due to communication issues. But overall, it was an enjoyable meal.

Food is good but the night atmosphere is what attracts people to this place. Expect a Ferrari or two parked up front door of the restaurant. Service is not to the level of what you would expect from a place like this. The menu is very complete. All shrimp dishes are excellent. Try the prime rib if hungry. Will return.

Don't know why so many complaints about the service...it's simply a busy restaurant and in this case...the quality makes worth the wait. Excellent, inventive cooking...the chef is alwtweakingking his craft. Expect to pay about 30 USD per person.

Good food, nice atmosphere (except for a huge TV that disrupts the harmony of the decore), but the service is the worst ever for a restaurant that pricey. I'm a Dominican, but their service belongs in a hamburger stand: the dishes are written in English, but detailed in Spanish and the waiters have no clue how to explain them or... More
