3rd time going and the food again was a complete let down.... Wasn't just me everyone said it all 6 of us at the table and we won't even talk about trying to get parking around the hotel
Sophie's @ The Dean CorkResponded on June 22, 2025
Hi Conor Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. We are disappointed you did not enjoy Sophie's fully,especially your meal. We take our customers feedback very serious & we will pass your review to kitchen team for future improvements. Hopefully we can look forward to welcoming you back again in the future. In regards to parking, we would advice to use the car park at the Kent station, that is located 2 minutes walk from our place. Sophie's TEAM❤

Food was lovely except the starter very disappointing. Ordered the ciabatta and dips, and flat garlic bread and dip. Flat bread was not garlic no taste of garlic. Ciabatta was nice and warm same as you do in oven at home. Dips were disappointing I’d say just out of carton. Main courses and deserts were lovely.

Lovely food and great selection of cocktails. A little on the pricey side for food but somewhere that is good for a special occasion as a result. A few more vegetarian options on the menu would be nice too.
