   Food was very tasty - tempura prawns, pizza and calzone. Good selection of lager and cocktails. Service was prompt and polite. Unfortunately very little space between tables.

   Only two unnecessarily extremely bland and unimaginative vegan options.

   Service was friendly, food was great and the lovely birthday surprise for my mum was very well received. The views from the balcony are stunning, so make sure to pop out for a few mins before or after your dinner.

   I have dined at the Dublin location and had a very pleasant experience and so was looking forward to trying this Sophie's in Galway. Unfortunately, this experience was just fair at best. There seemed to be only two wait staff handling the entire restaurant the evening we were there, and so service was not quite attentive. For example, we had waited quite a while to get our first round of cocktails order in. Hopefully it was just an "off" night because otherwise the rooftop ambience is nice.

    Really enjoyable birthday celebrations. Staff were friendly, engaging and the service excellent. There was a nice selection of dishes and cocktails to be had and the food was just delicious. The setting is second to none and a trip to Sophies has to be high on your list of things to do. Great experience. Thanks All!

    The restaurant was very quiet, we moved table because there was staff having meetings near us and it didnt feel like we were out for lunch as we could hear them and see them standing around that table. I had mentioned on the booking it was our anniversary, but nothing said. The greeting and showing to the table was only ok, not a very warm welcome, we have eaten in elephant and castle on the ground floor multiple times and much more welcoming there. We waited nearly 45 mins for the food in a restaurant with about 4 tables occupied! All in all it was an average experience
    

    Sophie's @ The Dean GalwayResponded on 29 April 2023We are so sorry, the team were sampling the new dishes for the summer menu! You are absolutely correct, we should have seated you away from the high top table so you could enjoy your anniversary lunch without disruption.

    Very disappointed with staff, Brought 4 wrong orders to our table and questioned us when we said one particular order was not ours.. seemed quiet rude and disrespectful. Asked us 3 times to vacate the table to prepare for dinner. It would have been helpful to know there was a time limit on the reservation. It wasn’t indicated when the table was reserved. Waited 20 mins for the staff to return to order a coffee. Other venues are much more professional who offer the rooftop restaurant.
    

    Sophie's @ The Dean GalwayResponded on 29 April 2023I am so sorry for the clumsy service Anna, we can and should be much better than what you have described! Please contact me at melanie@thedean.ie if you ever intend to return and we will ensure that we get it right for your next time.

    Me and my girlfriend went to Sophie’s on a couples trip to Galway and had a really lovely experience. The service was fab and they had some items on the menu that were affordable for us as we are college students. Would definitely recommend if you would like to have a fancy dinner and then bring your drinks outside onto the rooftop balcony afterwards.overall will definitely eat there again :)

    The venue is brilliant for an elevated occasion , or a beautiful lunch on a sunny day. The staff was great and accommodating, food is very tasty. The drink list is custom, but if you're looking for an out of menu coctail, the bartenders will make it as well. Very nice and atmospheric, can reccomend and definitely will come back
