   Saturday brunch was a bit of a disappointment as it took us 40 minutes to get a drink and then service was generally poor as it did not look like enough staff.

   Food excellent, service prompt and friendly and overall setting and decor very cool. Found it quite pricey compared to other restaurants of a similar calibre in Galway. Cocktail in particular was very tasty but very small and seems this is trying to be hidden a bit by serving it in a tiny glass. Overall a lovely experience, wouldn't dine there regularly but great place for a special occasion.

   The quality of the tea was very poor, would be lovely to have Barry’s Tea .

   Sophie's @ The Dean GalwayResponded on 14 January 2023We actually do have Barry's tea :-) as well as a selection of speciality teas from Wall & Keogh

   Had a great time with family at Sophie's, with our new little baby Sophie. Food was decent and the waiter was great, however, we were really looking forward to certain items on the lunch menu, but when we arrived, we were advised that only brunch was served on the weekend and not lunch. This should have been stipulated on Open Table and/or on the website and/or on the menus themselves, which I'd downloaded from the website. On Sophie's website it states: We serve breakfast, lunch and dinner daily with a delectable brunch menu on the weekends. It does not state that they do not serve lunch on the weekend. We would have chosen to go another restaurant because we were specifically looking for other items, but by the time we got there, with a 6 year old and 1 month old baby in tow, it was too much of mission to then pack up and go somewhere else.

   Sophie's @ The Dean GalwayResponded on 14 January 2023Ahhh Sophie's first visit to Sophie's :-) !! Thanks for the feedback and apologies for the misunderstanding with the wording on the website, when you say it like that I see your point!

    No Gluten free bread available is poor form, shops were open could have got some in if you ran out

    Sophie's @ The Dean GalwayResponded on 6 January 2023Sorry about that Mark, we usually always have a stock of it and your dead right, we could have gone out and got some as soon as it was running low.

    We were disappointed that the pizza oven was not working - this is the 2nd time this has happened to us but food & staff were very good. Thank you.

    Sophie's @ The Dean GalwayResponded on 1 January 2023Apologies about the pizza oven, we did eventually get it back up and running for the evening service. Frustrating that this has affected you now on two visits, we are very sorry for this.

    Lovely restaurant/hotel and staff, the only thing is the tables were far too close to eachother. We struggled to have a conversation as I kept hearing the people next to us both sides. Also getting in and out beside them was awkward, it felt like we were on a triple date. Other than the seating layout the rest was lovely

    Sophie's @ The Dean GalwayResponded on 6 January 2023Thanks for the feedback and I am glad that you still enjoyed the food and service despite it being a squeeze.

    Expensive steaks, both not cooked to order. One way over and the other way under, a member of staff who was not our waitress had me slide my steak onto a side plate to bring it back to the kitchen. 25% discount and a complimentary drink, but we where seated near the reception and watched 3/4 members of the team debate how to handle the situation. It was uncomfortable and and disappointing overall.

    Sophie's @ The Dean GalwayResponded on 25 December 2022We are sorry that the steaks were overcooked Eoin and also that you overheard the team discussing how best to resolve the matter for you.

    White wine on tap not cold at all, music and noise level too loud, not a relaxed atmosphere, all tables in walkway in line along windows and some just opposite, everyone has to pass in between.

    Sophie's @ The Dean GalwayResponded on 23 December 2022We are sorry that you were not happy with the ambience and table layout in Sophie's. We have noted your feedback on the wine on tap and we will double check that its functioning as it should. Have a great Christmas.

    I've eaten Sophie's twice in a week, once on a work dinner with a large group, once a more intimate meal with my partner. On both occasions the service was superb and the food was great. The prawn starter was close to perfect and the mains were well executed, balanced and tasty. Sides are very generous portions. The cocktails were very good, both taste and presentation. Highly recommend Pegs Select Bar downstairs for a nightcap to end the evening.

    Sophie's @ The Dean GalwayResponded on 22 December 2022Thank you for this lovely review! We hope that you have great xmas.
