    Delicious food - we were at a table upstairs in the corner which was a bit quieter than the rest of the restaurant. It was quite loud, but cool decor and delicious meal

    Sophon is superb. The food and the cocktails are outstanding and also really interesting and different. The service is excellent - the four of us simply asked our waiter to "please bring us dinner" and we were blown away with the result. We were also astonished at the cost - we had mountains of outstanding food for a surprisingly small expenditure. And the space is nice too - "authentic."

    The freshest of shellfish (oysters) and a delicious garden salad. The bread plate slathered with butter was delicious. The drinks were a little off (Last Word and Paloma), much better at Walrus & Carpenter. Service was efficient and attentive.
