   The best is the view over the city and surrounding areas from the terrace. The food was good. I can recommend to visit this place.

   Food was amazing I can't wait to go back there. Staff were so good and service was great. Coffee was the only thing that i got that let me down. Horrible coffee I am sorry to say. I would get nicer in McDonald's

   The ambience was lovely. Big city feel to it. Decor with wood finish and cedar wood scent very pleasing. Service was excellent. Food was nice but lacked real "wow" factor to match the restaurant surroundings.

   Not a lot of options for coeliacs. Kitchen wouldn't make a chicken salad for a starter so I had to make do with a few dressed salad leaves. No effort was made to provide any starter that I could eat. Really not good enough for an establishment of this calibre.

    This was my 3rd visit to Sophie’s and left uninspired by the menu, as there was no exciting/ new additions- I simply opted for a pizza. This establishment is great for a quick bite to eat in a lovely and casual but elegant setting.

    Overall, the food was delicious and the service was excellent. We really appreciated the side orders being modified to be vegan. We were disappointed however that the pizzas were not available and that the vegan option on the online menu was not available. We would have appreciated an email informing us as a large part of why we booked Sophie’s was based on the menu.

    Sophie's @ The Dean GalwayResponded on 20 March 2023Thank you for sharing such detailed feedback Bmpbmp, much appreciated and we are sorry that the pizza oven was not working at the time of your visit.

    Lovely evening in Sophies. Our first time visiting. Food was outstanding! The prawns to start were delicious. I had lamb for mains and it was probably the nicest lamb I have ever had. The meat fell apart as soon as you cut it. Can’t wait to go back.

    The waiters were very rude - my friend was 10 mins late and they came over to my table three times asking when she would arrive. When she did arrive, she was greeted with "Oh you're finally here". They rushed us to order - one waiter came over, we were not ready. The other came down less than a minute later. They told us breakfast was finishing at 10 and lunch was starting at 12. There was no brunch menu offered in between. Asked for salmon as a side and was not available, even though it is offered on the Galway Breakfast Menu for Sophies on the Dean website. Overall, not impressed with service.

    Sophie's @ The Dean GalwayResponded on 12 March 2023Lisa, sincere apologies on your experience with us recently. We pride ourselves on our customer service and we didn't live up to expectation. Our menu's have changed slightly and are currently being updated at the moment so we don't have smoked salmon on offer anymore unfortunately. If you would like to dine with us in the future please get in touch with me directly at steven@sophies.ie.

    I took my husband for a branch. It was very nice! I love the decor of the restaurant. The food was delicious, I was jealous about my husband dish. He had a tempura white fish with fries. The fish was fresh with crispy tempura and mash peas and tatar sauce. I had the pizza with goat cheese it was also good. After we had our coffee on the terrace. Great place to relax and enjoy the view. I can easily recommend the Sophie's restaurant. We will definitely come back, this time for a dinner time👌.

    We have eaten quite a few times at Sophie’s Dublin and Bonnies Glasson however this was a complete let down! From the oh we don’t do seafood chowder anymore too oh sorry we are out of Hendricks gin it really kicked us off to a bad start. Considering Hendricks is the main ingredient in the signature Sophie’s cocktail. Wouldn’t return, Dublin and Glasson could give them a lesson in service.

    Sophie's @ The Dean GalwayResponded on 5 March 2023We are very sorry that you were disappointed Tina. Chowder is not on the Brunch menu which is served on weekends which is why it was not available when you visited. The note regarding the Hendricks is also true, our parent company are no longer working with the distributer of this product in Ireland and we are awaiting the delivery of the new menus from our HQ that reflect this change. We do however have many other gins which we can substitute for the Sophie doesn't know cocktail.

    Food was delicious, found drinks very overpriced. Would recommend it as a venue to visit for food and atmosphere. It was a bit disappointing to be asked to leave the table at a certain time after we had our main course so maybe check this out when you book (even if late sitting).

    Lots of positive things about the place but I came and twice food was cold did not make a fuss as I was business dinner… also menu very short + items missing on it … So became very restrictive… But flavour of the food were delicious.. Also wine came when we had finished our starter… I am not off the place I still like it but must improve on details.

    Really nice atmosphere/decor ideal for girly lunches, food is fine not something that would make you rush back, staff very friendly but a few are flighty in forgetting to make a drinks order or drop something down. Cocktails are okay again not anything better than what u might pay a little less for in another establishment. Overall id prb go back if i wanted to be somewhere that looked fancy but if i was looking for something extra special food wise prob not.

    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.
