We absolutely love Bar Sofia! The atmosphere is perfect, and the service is exceptional. It's a great spot for everyone!

The pork tacos were outstanding, getting a perfect score of 10/10. Unfortunately, the fish tacos didn't quite hit the mark, receiving just a 1/10. However, the service and atmosphere were excellent!

Great menu, atmosphere and service! The empanadas, Brussels sprouts and Yuka fries were delicious. The cocktails were tasty, 10/10presentation. Will return to try more for sure !

Atmosphere is great, dishes are interesting, but I find that they are particularly lacking with cattle/ply plates. very busy in the night if they like to do at busy place as I do

First visit in the bar, sophia was a success! we showed ourselves very early for our reservation, hoping that we have a drink at the bar and they could sit on a table within 15 minutes. all employees were cordial and welcoming. it was such a fun mood for a girl night, we had the best time with most delicious drinks and eating

Bar Sofia offers a vibrant atmosphere and a diverse menu, featuring standout dishes like pork tacos and lamb specials. While many guests rave about the delightful cocktails and various appetizers, some patrons have faced service hiccups, particularly concerning reservations and table management. The lively ambiance can lead to noise challenges, affecting conversation ease, especially during busy evenings. Despite mixed reactions to individual dishes, the overall dining experience is enhanced by attentive staff and an inviting setting. Recommendations range from enjoying the empanadas to exploring seasonal specials, ensuring potential for return visits and continued culinary exploration.

Our group made a reservation for New Year's Eve at 8 PM, but by 9:30 PM, we were informed that our table was needed for another party, despite having already spent a considerable amount on food and drinks. We were taken aback because our reservation didn't specify a time limit, and had we known, we would never have booked. No other tables were asked to move, even those that had been there before us. We requested to remain at our table and reminded the server that we had only been there for an hour and a half, but she was indifferent to our concerns. We were then moved to a small standing table right by the door. Once the group that took over our original table relocated to another spot, we were offered our old table back, but by that point, our entire evening was ruined. It is simply unacceptable to rush a group out of their table after just an hour and a half on New Year's Eve. I cannot recommend Bar Sofia and won't be returning. This was a deeply disappointing experience.

Everything was fantastic! The only downside was that it was a bit difficult to hear each other because the speaker overhead was quite loud. Next time, I’ll request a table on the side. Other than that, everything was excellent! I can’t wait to return after the renovations!

The food and drinks were excellent. However, the waitress could have been a bit friendlier. The restaurant was nearly empty, yet they seated us right next to another group instead of spacing us out. Perhaps they anticipated that the restaurant would fill up quickly, but it didn’t.

Great food and service as always. Easy to order gluten free too.

Beautifully designed interior. Loved their Pina Colada. Could have add more coconut flavour, since the one we got had a bit more of pine apple flavour. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Meal type: Other Price per person: $10–20
