Bar Sofia

Had a disappointing experience here last night. First, the host was fantastic, helpful on the phone with a last minute reservation, and communicated effectively about when our table would be ready etc. Once the host sat us though, it was another 5-10 minutes before our server greeted us and brought water. From that point on, service was lacking. Food and drinks didn’t take too long, but our water glasses sat empty until we finished our meals and had to request more. The server was attentive to other tables, even walking past us with a full water pitcher and checking in with them, but didn’t glance at us until our plates were empty and stacked. It’s understandable that service is slower on a busy Friday night, but it was jarring to notice the server prioritizing other tables. The music was also quite loud for a sit-down restaurant. The food is really good but the portions are small. Lots of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options, love the layout and decoration. Just disappointing that from past experiences and other reviews, it seems like some staff prioritize certain clientele over others. Hoping this is something that improves in the future!
