    The wait staff was indifferent to serving us. We waited for 20 minutes without being acknowledged and without being provided water. Had to get up and ask about it twice and was met with defensive response and lack of care. Once it was clear that there they were not professional and dismissive we left before receiving anything. Also the indoor rooftop allows smoking that floods the entire floor into the dining room. It was a terrible experience.

    It is a magical place during the night time and souring the sunset; But I ask to have the table near the window but they told me that in was fully booked (It wasn't true)

    I usually never eat dinner at a hotel but I heard that Sense was different. The salmon was to die for. If the food isn’t enough the views are over the top. Best hotel meal ever.

    They give additional drink 🍷 without asking and over charge you. I had a reservation and they put me in a small hallway, after asking twice they agreed to give me another table for one hour since it' was already reserved, although I saw several empty tables 😕

    The staff was very friendly and polite. Considering the peak hour, our table was waited quickly. However, I would wish for a little bit more privacy (distance between the tables), for the music to be a little bit softer and not so loud and the lights not so bright, because we could see almost only our reflections in the windows and not the city. Also, there was a ventilator right in front of the window that really obstructed our view.

    We went 9 ppl ti diner. We booked a table a really long time up front, when we arrive they gave us a 8 man table and said that what they can do. Just after some arguing they added to us one more table but said it for one hour. The waitress and really Impatient, we are 9 ppl so it’s should be ok it take some time to order and there is a questions , but she wasn’t nice at all. We waited for half of the dishes like 10-15 min(main and starters) but the other half of the table got his dishes only after 40 min. So half of the table are alone each time. They brought us 1 dish that we didn’t order and argue that we did. They didn’t want to take it back and charge us for this. All come to one thing: really bad service!! So it doesn’t matter if food was good or drink(it was ok) be careful to go with large groups

    Terrible food and service. We attended for a friend’s celebration and starters (tapas) and mains. Our food came separately - one person received a burger and had finished before any more food arrived. We ordered steaks which were overcooked - a medium rare was cooked well done. The sides did not arrive so it was just steaks on a plate… for £30 / 67 BGN (the most expensive place in Sofia) this not good enough standard. The cocktails we ordered were nice and the views were great. But considering the food price is the same a good restaurant in London it was hugely disappointing. The manager did not explain what the reason for the food was and we left after 2 hours - some without eating dinner at all. There was only one other table eating food as well so it wasn’t busy Go there for a drink with nice views, but do not order food!

    Cocktail menu very limited - app. 15 coktails, 3-4 were not available for service. Taste of the cocktails (we had in total four different ones) were uninspiring and of low taste quality. Location itself is top. Go there - and drink beer only.....

    We went to the rooftop bar to enjoy a few cocktails before dinner, everything was delicious. We were so impressed with the quality and creativity of the drinks, overall very sophisticated and subtle blends of flavors, and a reasonable cost (probably high for Sophia, but not extravagant for the quality). Also, a truly unbeatable view of the golden tops of the cathedral at sunset, you could not ask for a better view in Sofia. Would absolutely go back if visiting the city again in the future.

    Not the best Rooftop in Sofia. People here smoking even though it was Smoking forbidden. 15 minutes waiting for them to take our order. View was pretty nice and that was the best thing about the place.

    After reading reviews I was surprised at this place - we stood being ignored by the hostess for over 5 minutes whilst she spoke with her colleagues and joked, walked past us etc - we had booked a table and it wasn’t busy at all. We ended up stood in the middle of the bartenders putting a delivery away and then eventually got seated - waited ages for someone to take our drinks order then three of them asked straight after each other. We decided to leave in the end after one drink - nobody asked how I would like my Bloody Mary which was disappointing and the atmosphere was so dull, there was no buzz to the place at all - the views were of course beautiful.
