This was my first time dining at Sofia's because one of our friends had recommended it. The hostess greeted us upon entering, showed us to our table, offered to take my date's cost and gave her a ticket. Standard stuff. The lighting was nice, and the place reminded me of the episode of everybody loves raymond when they all went... More

This could be the best restaurant on Absecon Island. (Absecon Island covers Atlantic City and points south all the way down to Longport.). This was a special visit because it was the last night of Atlantic City's Restaurant Week. We each started out with the mixed green salad with raspberry vinaigrette dressing and an assortment of other additions to the... More

Great lamb, and very unusual deserts. Also a unique selection of wines. The atmosphere is dark,. For some reason I can't put my finger on, we do not come here very often.

The place is simply breathtaking and the people are wonderful. My daughter has said she wants to have her wedding rehearsal dinner here since she was a child! And a free parking lot,... More

Looking for a special place to celebrate my birthday, I accidentally came across the website for Sofia's and was pleasantly surprised to find someplace that had really beautiful decor that was not typical for the shore area. The bar setting is very welcoming with a giant tree that is the center focal point with lanterns hanging from it. There was... More

Everything we had here was good, but, VERY pricey. There is some kind of "Margate surcharge" around here (I have a little apt a block from here so sometimes I eat in these places because I can walk). Whether its Sofia, Tomatoes, or Steve & Cookies, a snack for 2 starts at $100 and goes up into 2nd mortgage territory... More

We enjoy the great happy hour menu and sushi. When other eaterys are raising prices during the summer season Sophia's has remained same. The locals will make this their winter destination to show appreciation!

Whenever we have the chance to go to dinner for a special occasion, I am picking Sophia's hands down! I love the food and the atmosphere. I read another reviewer that said the bar is a bit loud, I would have to agree. We usually go on off nights during the week and off season when it is nice and... More

We had dinner at Sofia this week. It was our second visit in 2 years. The experience is still outstanding. From the hostess to the waiter (David) to the bus service, the attitude was friendly and professional. We loved the food. My bronzino was perfectly cooked and boned, although next time I will have it whole like last year. My... More
