What truly set the evening apart was the outstanding service. The waitstaff was incredibly attentive, professional, and went above and beyond to ensure our table had everything we needed. They were warm, welcoming, and timed everything perfectly. A special shout-out goes to the manager, Kerem, who is doing a phenomenal job! His leadership and attention to detail clearly reflect in how smoothly the restaurant runs. Kerem made us feel like valued guests, checking in on us and ensuring our night was flawless. Amazing food, beautiful ambiance, and world-class hospitality
I ordered steak fritti. It was very good. The only thing is that they don't have is other side dish than potatoes. As a guy who avoid carbohydrates, I recommend the restaurant to add other side dish then potatoes. Like grilled vegetables, or salad.
Very good food, excellent service and gorgeous ambience. Beautiful ppl too everywhere. Must must try the Nigerian Tiger shop it’s soooo good
Absolutely fantastic experience at Sofia in Englewood! From the moment we arrived, everything was top-notch — the ambiance is warm and elegant, perfect for a special night out or a relaxed dinner. The food was outstanding. The Caesar salad was fresh and perfectly balanced, the pasta was rich and flavorful, and the lobster and steak were cooked to perfection — tender, juicy, and full of flavor. Every dish came out beautifully presented and tasted even better than it looked. Service was excellent throughout the evening — attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming without being overbearing. You can really tell they care about quality and consistency. Sofia is a true gem in Englewood. Amazing food, great atmosphere, and excellent service. Highly recommended — we’ll definitely be back!
All 10’s !!!! Food is great well seasoned without being salty ! Service impeccable . Took care of everything and did everything before I needed it done. The decor is great cool ambiance . We will be back loved it here
This restaurant offers an excellent cigar lounge that creates a relaxed yet upscale atmosphere. It’s a great place to unwind, have meaningful conversations, and even conduct business deals in a comfortable setting. Whether you’re meeting clients or spending quality time with friends and family, it’s an ideal spot to hang out and enjoy the experience. Also, the truffle Taglietere and burrata were amazing!!!! Food here is always delicious
Came to Sofia for brunch today and it was a wonderful experience. The restaurant is gorgeous, staff very friendly, and the food is delicious. We got the pre fixe brunch (I got the grilled cheese) and passion fruit mimosas. The Nutella gelato tasted like it was straight from Italy.
Great steakhouse in englewood cliffs - perfect for date night or a nice dinner out with friends. Great vibes - both indoor and outdoor dining available with comfortable seats. Service was good and fast. And food was great too - we split the porterhouse and two sides (fries and brussel sprouts) between the two of us. All were delicious and steak was a perfect medium. Very popular choice as a couple tables around us all got the same thing.
From the craft cocktails to the perfectly executed dishes, this is such a wonderful spot to pick for any special occasion. The staff always take the time to make you feel like a regular, even if it's your first visit. Very cozy, yet chic seating.
Everything was excellent from start to finish. The steak was cooked perfectly and full of flavor, the clams were delicious, and the sides were equally well-prepared. The drinks were also very well done. The atmosphere is dim and inviting, making it a great spot for a girls’ night out, with tasteful photo opportunities throughout. Our waiter was a sweetheart and kindly allowed us to take photos after dinner, which we really appreciated. The service was attentive and friendly. I would definitely return.
