   Emily our server was great. I was happy to see that shrimp scampi was back on the menu, I ask for side of capers to go with. My husband was disappointed that chicken parm was gone from the menu but ordered the pork chop per Emily's recommendation and it was delish. Could have used more of the gravy/au jus though and more brussel sprouts! Caesar salad was good. Bread not so much though, it used to be so good but this time it was cold & tasteless, store bought possibly ..room temp butter would be wonderful instead of hard as a rock! We'll go back ... Pretty decorations for the holidays👍

   Our mini family reunion gathering had a lovely time. The deceivingly simple dish of rigatoni had complex and delicious flavors. The pear Bellini was yummy and our server, Emily, treated us well!

   We had a fabulous dining experience at Via Sophia by the Sea during Christmas Prelude after attending the Franciscan Christmas Carol event. The dining room had sophisticated and elegant holiday ambiance.. The host and the waitress were personable and professional. The food was absolutely delicious! Shrimp scampi, swordfish, tiramisu and wine.

   They offered an outstanding brunch. The service was too notch and the food and drinks were delicious. I would just say to not have as much pesto on the caprese salad. It doesn’t need it but that’s a personal preference. We would definitely return. I wish we knew about the gondola and that they had more.

   Very average brunch experience. Nothing special, though the ambiance is pleasant enough.

    The food and decor for Prelude were amazing! But service was slow and we had to remind staff about missed drinks and food items several times. Portions were also small for the price. Overall, I’d still go back!
