"On two occasions, I ordered a medium rare Delmonico Ribeye steak and was served it blue rare instead. The first time, it upset my stomach all night and into the next day. The second time, I had to cook it myself in my home oven to bring it up to medium rare, which compromised the flavor. I called the restaurant while cooking the steak, but the hostess I spoke with did not offer any form of compensation or even an apology. I also tried their Lobster Shishito appetizer. The first time it was fantastic, but the second time, a few months later, it was disappointing—the batter was so thick that there was more batter than lobster meat, with some bites containing only batter. Then there’s the Saturday night Prime Rib special. I ordered the end cut but was served a regular cut instead. By this time, I had learned to expect mistakes, so I checked my order before heading home. Sure enough, they had made an error, so I returned to the restaurant. The hostess and a male staff member, whom I believe was a manager due to his attire, took my order from me without saying a word and walked to the kitchen. There was again no apology or communication during this interaction. I stood awkwardly by, waiting for them to correct it, which they did, but it was still a very uncomfortable experience. I am appalled by the lack of service and the poor attitudes at Sophia Steak. It seems that staff members choose which customers to treat nicely, which is unacceptable behavior. Additionally, I’ve noticed a troubling pattern where non-white customers are sometimes treated as if they are merely delivery drivers instead of patrons, which has been commented on by other reviewers. I have never experienced such discrimination in any other restaurant in the area aside from Sophia Steak, and it's not isolated to their Wilmette location; I've seen similar issues at their Lake Forest restaurant as well. On another occasion, I ordered my usual Prime Rib end cut, but it arrived overcooked, tough, and lacking in marbling. The meat was so dry it could be shredded, making it hard to believe it was USDA Prime rather than Choice due to its lack of marbling and dryness. When Sophia Steak gets it right, it truly is one of the best restaurants in the area. But when they get it wrong, don't expect any compensation or even an apology. Here’s a tip: always check your order before leaving, as half the time they mess it up. Service: Takeout Meal Type: Dinner Price per person: $50–100 Food: 2 Service: 2"

Very good steak and very convenient for the suburbs. Price point is a bit high for the experience and similar to the big city. Solid all around.

Overall, this restaurant is excellent. The service was good, although the waiter neglected to pay attention to my steak order, resulting in an overcooked steak that was otherwise perfect. However, the atmosphere and the rest of the food were fantastic.

I like a martini served in a proper glass. They serve martini’s in champagne glasses. They said they did not have martini glasses. As we were leaving, there were people at the bar with proper glasses. The food was good, the ‘famous’ steak sauce was awful. Wont go back because of the drinks. I can get a steak anywhere.

I had the pleasure of dining here for dinner, and it was an exceptional experience. The meal was outstanding, deserving a perfect rating of 5 for the food. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The service was equally impressive, also earning a 5; the staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. The atmosphere, too, was top-notch, creating a warm and inviting setting for our meal, which is why it also receives a 5. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant for a delightful dining experience, with prices ranging from $50 to $100 per person. View menu

However, I found the food to be underwhelming, rating it around 3 out of 5. We tried the grilled octopus, which lacked flavor, and the wedge salad which was similarly bland (they use blue cheese dressing instead of actual blue cheese). Even the burger fell flat in taste. The spicy chicken sandwich was a decent choice, though. While I admit we haven't explored the signature items on the menu, based on our experiences with the dishes we ordered, I’m not feeling adventurous enough to try the more substantial offerings. The restaurant excels in service and atmosphere, but in terms of flavor, I've had much better elsewhere. I likely won't return.

My partner took me her to celebrate my birthday and it was beyond my expectations. We live in the City and felt like venturing out a bit and we were not disappointed. The manager Annette's attention to detail made us both feel special and you could tell she loves her job. We should all love what we do. Management even printed a menu just for me! Our server Jackie was fantastic with great recommendations. She even laughed at my jokes. Their hospitality was matched with a warm ambiance and perfectly cooked steak. Lobster appetizer on point. Thank you for such a great birthday meal and experience. Recommend reservations because on a Monday they were poppin'!
