Not baby friendly - no changing table or changing friendly ledge in the bathroom. Every parent should be able to change their child in the establishment where they are dining. The food is good but not exceptional - the restaurant is really about the ambience. But then huge table of cigarette smokers sat next to us, stinking up the whole area. Thankfully switched to vape when asked. The service was also just ok - our waiter wasn’t friendly or helpful but it seems others are.

Food and service good. Value fair but you pay for location. No problem with with including 20% service charge which has become the norm. However don’t ask 3 times if I really don’t want to leave any tip….

This was my first time at Sofia and it was just excellent. From the ambiance, to the food and the service. Beautiful space and decor, our plates seemed small but they were very fulfilling and the drinks were delicious. Funny enough, our server Steven was going to recommend the same drink I had ordered. He really knew what to recommend.

This restaurant screams my kind of vibe so I loved it! The food was delicious, the cocktails, and the vibe. It’s definitely for people who don’t like to be in big crowds but they love to go out and do a little something get a drink. Perfect vibe. The service is also really fast.

Mario the manager and Remi the waiter were absolutely 5-star. Remi gave excellent service and advice on the menu. He’s a wonderful guy. Food was delicious, but it’s really the atmosphere and service that make this place.

Beautiful restaurant overall. The food was very hood, perfectly cooked pasta, and flavorful drinks. The problem was the temperature it was very very cold and the music was extremely loud. The waiter provided good service but made us wait 15 minutes to pay. My final score is 8.5 because the food was truly delicious but the service and ambiance can improve.

Very pretty restaurant with attentive staff and delicious cuisine. The waygu burger and pastas are superb and rack of lamb as well. The chicken was a bit too oily. The staff push drinks a bit too much and the bar needs to be attended better but overall it’s a lovely venue for a meal out.

This is my first time at this location and wow. Let’s start with the service. The hospitality that Mario and Jimmy showed is phenomenal. Jimmy was very knowledgeable of the menu. Mario checked on my table every moment. There wasn’t a time where i felt i wasn’t being taken care of. The two of them guaranteed my return to this location.

While we’re eating an crazily loud alarm sounded for many minutes. It was an mall alarm, but it was very disturbing. It definitely ruined my birthday dinner… it stopped, but it started again two or three times after.. the noise was disturbingly loud!!! Good food, good ambience, expensive

This is a cute location located in the center of Miami's design district, however everything at this restaurant is grossly overpriced and not worth your time or money. I love an elevated experience, and am used to bills being well over $250 per person, however the food was very basic, the wines were all within 3 years but priced as though they are vintage. The meat and seafood dishes come with no sides. The lobster pasta had barely any lobster. The branzino was flavorless and the skin was soggy, instead of that perfect crisp I am used to. Although the gamberino tasted decent, the dish only came with 4 pieces, no side. The pizzas are small and also extremely overpriced for what they offer, there is no imagination or variety in the menu. The preparation of the food/ technique by the chef and amount of food, and flavor was not worth the money at all. Overall the value was just extremely poor, however the ambience was cool for a date night or quick appetizers.
