Sophie's @ The Dean Dublin

For drinks not for food
Limited food choice
Disappointing food
Tea was like dishwater grey and tepid. Cappuccino was very good
Prefer sister restaurant Isabelle’s

Too noisy, we left before begining dinner. service comprehensible

The place is incredible! Great food and very polite staff.
The only thing that I would like to say is that we had a reservation for 21:00 and they just got us a table 21:35. Other than that everything was fine.

The time we've spent to get a table was too long (30min although we had a reservation)

The food was good tough but we've lost patience

Great view, great food and great service at Sophie’s!

Perfetto in tutto!
Staff molto cordiale e disponibile!

We went for my daughter's 21st birthday. Food was very good and staff were very friendly and efficient. Look forward to going back.

The waitress was lovely. The restaurant is very spacious and provides nice views of Dublin’s roofs

The location and ambiance are great, unfortunately the service and food are lacking. We had crispy shrimp - way over cooked and chewy and crab & asparagus salad - the crab tasted like tinned crab meat. Entrees were seafood linguine - extremely over cooked. The manager was kind enough to only charge for our drinks, as we weren’t eating - but seriously I just wanted to enjoy a nice dinner and left hungry. Service is mediocre. Drinks were nothing special - overall it’s a typical hotel restaurant.

We thoroughly enjoyed lunch at Sophie’s. The staff is appropriately attentive. The food was delicious, the presentations we’ll done. And then there’s the 180 degree views of the City of Dublin from the Rooftop of The Dean Hotel where Sophie’s is located. It’s a ‘not to be missed’ dining experience for those visiting the city. If I lived there I would be a regular!

Great place to eat. The location is wonderful, great urban views of the area. Antipasti sharing plate was a great start. We all had pizza, with various toppings and were very happy with our choices. Loved our seat from where we could watch the ham being sliced and the pizza dough being "thrown". Service excellent, nothing fussy just right.

We had a table of 9 and were looked after very well by our polish waiter.. Food was superior with everyone enjoying their meal. It has a great atmposphere with the bar in the center of the venue.. Cool views over the city..thoroughly enjoyed our night and took lots of photos on the infamous swing.. Would highly recommend. Bar downstairs for roadies was very hip with some great sounds from the DJ..

Great location, great food with friendly, hard working staff. Hard to beat for brunch. I had the Full Irish and I was certainly full afterwards! Kids had the pancakes, of course. Unfortunately for me, they were were able to finish them all, without any help. Kids even managed to sit on the swings without falling off! ;)

Sophie’s food is fine however despite the fact that we had ordered multiple starters, mains, desserts, drinks etc it was made abundantly when the music was turned up way too loud that we should just eat up & leave so that people purely drinking could take our seats despite reserving the table well in advance for a family gathering. This was a shame as it left a bitter taste, we moved out to the terrace which was packed & eventually just left early. Probably won’t be back.

We were eating our dessert and the waitress asked us to leave 3 times as they have a group after us. Our bill was around 200€ and we have been kicked out. The food was excellent but they threat very bad people. It was the birthday if my wife and we could not enjoy it.

Excellent food and service. Very accommodating towards my 5 month old baby and the buggy etc. Such a comfortable, relaxed environment to enjoy great food (and wine when you have left the baby at home obviously)!

Sophie's is a great venue, with a selection of table options, and a great view. Myself and dining companion both ordered the SeaBass, but were disappointed that it comes with very little else, for a rather hefty €23. No veg or potatoes, except for some samphire. We ordered a side of parmesan and tarragon fries, with pancetta, which were excellent. But €29 for an adequate lunchtime main course is a bit steep. I'd still eat here again, but would order something better value next time. The food service was a bit slow, and we had to rush the meal, when received, to get back to work.

Lovely meal had here. A nice experience to visit this restaurant while we holidayed in Dublin.

Quality of service does not match up to quality of food.

We had a Birthday brunch in Sophie's last Monday. good weather in Dublin made the best of the views. Brunch was very tasty and good value. Great atmosphere with enough noise to give atmosphere but not enough to be intrusive. A nice touch was the arrival of a small dessert with a candle and a Happy Birthday message. We were looked after by Pyotr who was attentive and, like the rest of the staff we dealt with, good fun. We finished our brunch out on the terrace. It was a great experience all round.

Lovely for brunch nicely presented. Maybe too many black beans is the only quibble in the Huevos Rancheros. Great view on a nice day. Dessert fantastic, all my favorite things together but heavy so shared it.

Really nice food. Could have been better in terms of staff approach as I felt they were still sleepy considering it was early in the morning.

Will be back

Enjoyable evening - great buzz about the place.

Great Staff and delicious food. Bit disappointed with the terrace bar as there was no table free as they were all reserved. Would have liked to dstay for a drink but moved elsewhere for that reason.

Very enjoyable meal,

Sian

Me and My Husband came to Sophie’s for our first Wedding Anniversary.From start to finish we we’re treat with so much care and attention.A complimentary glass of fizz each on arrival and a extra touch on my pudding where the chef had written out congratulations on my plate in chocolate sauce.We honestly couldn’t of asked for a better experience for our special day.Thank you so much Sophie’s for really taking the time to make sure it was an evening we would never forget.

Noisy enough for 1pm, noise from kitchen and staff banging cutlery. Quick service at the beginning when ordering but it slowed down then when we finished and it was tricky to get a waiters attention. Nice food but extremely expensive for what it is.

Food was excellent! Staff were lovely very attentive great bottle of red recommended and never had to refill our wine glasses throughout our meal! Value was very reasonable views amazing!

What can I say, I’m a repeat customer!

Sophie’s is expensive but I’ve recommended it because of its location, the views and it’s simple but good food.

Setting is great. Had the full Irish. Scrambled eggs were grey. Not sure how they did that but they served it ? Did not complain but really should have but didn't need that first thing in the morning. Cheap cotton napkins which left lint all over my clothes. Will not be back.

Lovely restaurant, view is amazing, food was lovely. Waitress was amazing, she knew her stuff and was so helpful and friendly, will be back

Nice venue. Friendly staff. Food was average & pricey.

Enjoyable lunch. I had the Chicken burger, fresh and tasty. Dessert was Chocolate Delice, which was lovely, and the perfect amount. Staff we’re friendly. Atmosphere was good, Friday lunchtime. Would recommend and go again!

Great experience. Staff is very friendly and professional. The food is very good and reasonably priced.

Absolutely wonderful evening! We came to Sophie’s for a farewell dinner for a friend visiting from Australia. The host was friendly and welcoming and we had a lovely booth table. Our waitress was very attentive and the food was gorgeous. There was a slight delay on our mains coming out and she was straight over to us to offer apologies and a complimentary drink while we waited. Cannot fault our special night at Sophie’s. Delighted.

The view from the top floor is great, the food is delicious but the one issue I have is that you are waiting forever on your food! I have been there for a number of dinners & lunches and there is always a long wait ( regardless of the what you ordered )

Great food and great location service was good a little slow delivering hot water but overall great experience and would go back.

Balance Between meal price and meal quality so low. Experience food doesn't deserve that price

Too expensive for less quality. You only can sit inside to eat but if you book a table you just have it for 2 hours and all of yous need to eat a main course. Can‘t recommend..

Already recommended to family to go here! Amazing food, good portion sizes and dessert was delicious
