I chose sofia for my boyfriends birthday. this was my first time coming here and i am extremely disappointed. my server was terrible. she barely spoke to us and was very mediocre. i work in the restaurant industry myself and would never provide that kind of service. no introduction what so ever. the first thing she asked is “what do you want to drink”. i’m disappointed and can’t believe the service i recieved for the amount of money i paid. i still tipped her 18% but realistically she deserved 10%. i would not recommend this place to a friend and will not be returning.

Sofia is definitely a place to check out for a night out, with your girlfriends and date night. It was great food with live Dj. Music was a bit too loud for fine dining, but it gets busier turning into more bar style later in the evening. Check it out, it won’t disappoint

This was my second time going to Sofia’s, and unfortunately it was very underwhelming. The burrata was delicious, however the mains were nothing to write home about. The quality and taste of the pasta was in the same neighborhood as Chef Boyardee. For a restaurant in this location, with this type of ambiance, the food did not match. I would go here for a nice cocktail and apps, but not dinner.

Had a great time at Sofia for brunch! A couple things to note if it’s your first time. 1. For seating I recommend sitting outdoor, but if you’re scared of nature, I recommend dining inside. 2. The menu is small but the food taste good! 3. Bottomless mimosa and belinis are #1, they have a variety a flavours! 4. Our waiter was amazing! I forgot his name but the hospitality and warmness was lovely! Thanks again!

Service was poor & the food was mid. It doesn’t justify their high prices. Waitresses took me & my date on a wild goose chase just to have us wait at the bar for our table, only to seat us around a crowded bar. Personally I won’t be coming back here
