"Not sure what all the five star reviews are about. The restaurant is pretty, our waiter was not particularly friendly and the food was average. We went on a Sunday night and they were out of snapper and swordfish. There were only 3 tables being served. I had the Sofia’s special salad which was VERY unspecial! It consisted of lettuce, tomato and a couple of cubes of beets. I’ve had better salads from a corner deli. Since they were out of swordfish, I had tuna. It was not a quality piece. I asked for it very rare, but since it was a thin slice, that was impossible to do. My friend had the branzino special which looked nice. The salmon was swimming in a balsamic sauce. My husband was happy with his tortolini but wished they had a better quality cheese to be grated over it. All they had was cheese in a shaker. Not the sign of a quality restaurant. Average food- definitely not 5 star!!"

We moved to Florida last year but we were back in NY for the Christmas holiday and we had to come to Sofia's for dinner even though it to took us almost 2 hours to get there with the NY traffic, need I say more. Outstanding food, great staff! Paul, Franco and rest of the staff made us feel like we never left.

This is our 3rd visit to Sofia's Restaurant. The food is always delicious. We usually go with friends but this time it was my husbands birthday so we were with our children. My daughter has a nut and sesame allergy and I mentioned this to our waiter Franco where he assured us there is no cross contamination within the kitchen. I had the chicken marsala, absolutely delicious, my husband had the black ink pasta which he always gets at Sofia's, my son had the lamb chops which were cooked to perfection and my daughter had the penne vodka which she finished and that says a lot because she is very picky. Franco is a fabulous waiter. He brought us a delicious taramisu on the house and they sang Hap...

"When we called to reserve a table, no one informed us that there was a dining time limit of 1.5 hours. My friend wanted to invite more people to join us for dinner, but I was unsure if everyone would agree to the minimum charge of $60, including taxes and tips. I confirmed a reservation for 7 people during my second call, but ultimately, only 6 of us showed up. The table we were given was quite small, making it uncomfortable for six people, especially with the mandatory minimum spending of $60, as well as a 20% tip. For just two people, the minimum tip is 18%. I was confused about the dining time limit—was it two hours or 1.5? The party area was limited to just the backyard for additional seating. I was with friends who didn’t know the group well, and we arrived early at 3 PM, but we couldn’t wait until 6:30 PM. That’s why we ended up sitting at a separate table for two. Unfortunately, the restaurant didn’t seem to care and couldn’t arrange for us to be seated closer together. We had no choice in the matter. To make matters worse, the female waiter had a poor attitude. It felt like we were dining in a sidewalk market. She questioned another girl who served me ponzu sauce, apparently because I looked impatient when I saw her face. Her attitude only worsened after that. It seems like they need to train their employees better, as they seem unaware of how to provide good service. As for the food, it was just okay, typical of basic Japanese cuisine. There were too many restrictions! Customers are forced to adhere to the restaurant’s rules and limitations. I cannot recommend this place unless someone is specifically looking for a fast-food experience. In short, I don’t think I’ll be returning next time."
