   A stunning lunch and amazing service! I couldn’t rate this meal any higher, the experience and atmosphere was 10/10 and the staff were amazing!

   We had a very enjoyable evening. Staff friendly and the service was good. We had starters and mains. The food overall was very good. However two of our party of nine ordered pizza and it was disappointing. Far to much cheese and it was difficult to cut. The pizza left sophie's down . I would recommend Sophie's and will pay a return visit but just not order pizza.

   A fantastic venue for an early Mother’s Day and delayed birthday meal. Staff were Fantastic and we were treated to a rendition of Happy birthday. Would highly recommend the venue for any celebration

   I had been to Sophie’s around Christmas time and thoroughly enjoyed the food and ambience. I had hoped going back it would be a similar experience. I arrived and being seated was very quick and efficient. The initial waiter arriving to take our order also happened relatively quickly. Unfortunately there was a backlog with the kitchen - it didn’t seem incredibly busy, but maybe there were seats I didn’t see hidden away full of people. We had to request drinks, water for the table, condiments and also find out where our food was - all separate requests. Staff were around but not active - nobody checked in, service was slow and nobody was proactive in how they dealt with us. We felt like a nuisance more than customers to be fair - and we were just two women sat in a corner catching up! When the food came, my friend had a sandwich which looked amazing, with the truffle fries. I had ordered the Caesar salad from the ‘healthier options’ portion of the menu. The salad was the size of a toddlers plate (that might be why it was classed as healthy) but it was swimming in dressing - there was nothing healthy about it ! I love Caesar salad but this looked like the lettuce had a slow death by drowning in the dressing. After the meal we were asked if we wanted the dessert menu….and then the waitress just never came back with the menu ! We eventually spoke to another waitress and she was incredibly attentive and polite. We decided no to dessert or coffee, got the bill and left. Overall I wish I got the sandwich, the ambience was great, final waitress was fab but everything in between was unfortunately poor and below expectation.

   Food wasn't great. We had to send 4 of our 11 main meals back as they were cold plus 2 portions of fries that never came back! Not the servers fault and was quite embarrassed for them as well as myself having to ask to return food.

   Went for dinner , it was a Wednesday evening. Staff were amazing and food was delicious. I knocked a glass of wine and the staff came with more napkins and soda water so fast . To make sure my clothes didn't stain. I felt that the staff went out of there way they were so kind. It is a beautiful place to eat with amazing views. Will be back definitely.
