Sofra was absolutely amazing, Sierra our waitress was extremely knowledgeable in the menu and explained in detail how every dish is prepared. You can tell the whole staff put a lot of love and detail into their service. The food prepared by Chef Armand and team was incredible, from the flavors to the portion size. The burrata with pesto and beets for appetizers and lamb pasta for dinner. Then white chocolate tarte for dessert!! So smooth with the caramel drizzle! Definitely recommend for anyone looking for dinner. The restaurant is decorated so beautifully and extremely inviting. They even have a space for private parties. Go to this hidden gem!!

I was celebrating my wife’s birthday today and her mom joined us as well so it was a special day for us. I had swordfish and it was fabulous! My had the triple tail and she enjoyed it very much, although it was a lot of food so she did bring home leftovers. Her mom had the spaghetti and meatballs which is always a good choice. There is a wood fire oven and a fabulous selection of pizza available and I highly recommend the pizza as well. I have had the pizza before and it is sublime. Definitely worth trying. There is a very nice selection of wine and the drinks are always good. I love the choices of single malt scotch too. If you have not been here, I recommend you go because you won’t be disappointed.

The experience was absolutely incredible! The speakeasy is spectacular, the service was outstanding, the food was delicious, and the prices were very reasonable. The wait time for the food was also perfectly acceptable. Our server, Jackqueline, was absolutely wonderful! She took the time to explain the menu, was incredibly kind, attentive, and helpful throughout our visit. I can honestly say she was the best server I’ve ever had! I highly recommend this place!
