    The menu is limited. The food was good, although the fish filet was small and there was very little meat in the bolognese. The drinks were delicious and the service was fantastic. The chef came to the table and was very congenial..

    Servers were at our table immediately to take orders and explain menu. We ordered specialty cocktails- perfect. Butternut squash soup- delicious. Shrimp coconut appetizer, beet salad, spaghetti bolognese and cheese cake. Everything was exceptional. The owner and chef came to our table to be sure we were happy. We will definitely be back.

    First time experience at Sofra. Street parking or parking lot next to to the building. Welcoming and attentive staff, black table cloths, high ceiling with interesting dramatic lighting fixtures and a long bar with honey-combed shaped shelves displaying some of the bars libations. Hard rolls and butter were brought to the table and we began with the charred octopus served with whipped feta, beets, cherry tomatoes and a very light lemon sauce. It was a perfect size app for two and delicious! Entrees were Roasted Beet Salad with the addition of shrimp for a protein, Cacao e Pepe with the addition of shrimp, Spicy Rigatoni also with the addition of shrimp and a Seafood Risotto that included chopped shrimp, whole mussels and tomatoes. The beet salad indicated an "orange frost and red wine vinegar" but it was hardly noticable. The roasted beets, yellow and red, were generously cut & very good. Everyone's add-on shrimp was perfectly cooked and sweet. Sparking, still or tap water is available. The wine list is a nice selection of Italian and other wines by the glass. For example, we enjoyed a Vermentino from Sardina and there were 3 different Pinot Grigos choices. Good table service, well made food and all agreed Sofra will be a go-to restaurant for us. Chef stopped by the table to check in on us too. Nice touch!

    We were all very happy with this place. The wine was good! The staff were nice and attentive. The food was basic but SO delicious. We all liked that they focused on the basics but did it incredibly well. A little something for everyone too. We had vegetarians and carnivores who both were able to get something. We would happily go back and try more dishes and see how the place evolves. Highly recommend!!
