I really wanted to like Sophie's as it was meant to be our Dublin “splurge” dinner, but both dishes were a letdown. My seafood pasta (€29) tasted like something I could make at home with jarred sauce. The “seafood linguine” was actually spaghetti, and while the mussels, shrimp, and clams were fine, the dish itself had no real flavor or depth. No Parmesan, no bread—just flat. My friend’s gnocchetti was equally underwhelming. The room was quite noisy, and we were so disappointed by our main courses that we didn’t even want to stay for dessert. The view was nice, and our server was polite but seemed a bit confused. Overall, it felt more like a trendy first-date spot for twenty- and thirty-somethings than a genuine dining experience. We left disappointed and wouldn’t come back or recommend it.

Made a reservation to host my sister-in-law's bridal shower brunch here and it was amazing! The cocktails were creative, fresh, and divine. The food was fabulous. All ages attending had food/drinks they enjoyed and the bride-to-be had an amazing time. Service was awesome & the views were stunning. Definitely recommend Sophie's for special occasions or date night!

Came to Sophie’s on a whim, around 2200 with a reservation. Delighted we came here as most kitchens were closed at this time. The ambiance was modern and chic. Situated on the top floor overlooking part of the city on hotel grounds. Such a nice, distinctive way to spend one of the last nights in Dublin. Food was extremely good and service was attentive and friendly. Menu was varied enough for 3 different palates. I had the grilled sea bass which I really enjoyed, the seafood linguine was also very good. Did not disappoint!
