   I rarely write reviews, but after my experience here, I felt compelled to warn others. First off, the "butternut squash ravioli" I ordered was nothing more than bland buttered noodles—no flavor, no seasoning, just plain pasta. So disappointing! Then we ordered cauliflower, and again, it was soggy and tasteless. For a place that charges premium prices, the food quality was honestly pathetic. The drinks were ridiculously sweet with absolutely no alcohol in them, yet they charged $18 each! I could’ve bought a whole bottle of wine for that price, and it wouldn’t have tasted like sugar water. To top it all off, they added a 20% automatic gratuity for just TWO people without informing us. How shady is that? Then, to make matters worse, they tried to charge us $75 for a $21 pasta dish—probably hoping we wouldn’t notice the crazy price hike. Thankfully we caught it, but I’m seriously disgusted. The ambiance was nice, but this place is a total scam. Avoid it if you don’t want to get ripped off!

   I recently dined at Sophie's on Valentine's Day and was disappointed with the service. Despite understanding the expected wait times due to the holiday, the quality of service was horrible. The Valentine's menu item I ordered, grilled cheese, was not properly prepared, as the cheese was not fully melted. Additionally, the staff appeared disorganized and unfamiliar with their duties, resembling a temporary banquet service hired for the occasion. The server was also rude.

   We decided to try this restaurant for Valentine’s Day, hoping for a special evening, but it turned out to be a huge disappointment. The service was unbelievably slow—our main course arrived before the drinks and appetizers, completely throwing off the dining experience. To make matters worse, the appetizer finally showed up at the end of the meal, which made no sense at all. The biggest letdown was the dessert. We ordered tiramisu, expecting a classic, creamy treat, but it was rock-hard and impossible to chew. It was inedible. Despite all these issues, we ended up paying the full bill Overall, the experience was frustrating, and we will definitely not be returning. If you’re looking for good service and a well-paced meal, this is NOT the place to go.

   Probably the worst cocktails ever. All are super sweet. We asked if they could make a cosmopolitan light on the sweet and we all received sickly sweet neon pink cocktails. Another asked for a dirty martini and it was basically all olive juice. Several orders were wrong, and service was terribly slow. On the upside the flatbread was delicious and the ambience was great. Not enough to make up for the sorry cocktails!

   I had the best time at Sophie’s! The food was amazing, the waiters William and Fredy were excellent, music was everything! If you need a dinner night with the girls, this is the place. Super cute place to take pictures. I loved it.

   Our waitress had a really bad attitude and did not pay any attention to our table. Would not even come around to take our order for food or drinks. We had to wave her down multiple times. Don’t remember her name, but have been told by some of my friends that the waitresses her typically have a bad attitude and the service is very slow. We really like the vibe and the food though.
