We really enjoyed the atmosphere and the friendly service. The food was good...my son devoured those lamb chops, I was feeling a bit hung over and the grilled chicken helped me a lot! The salad was fresh and they have the good ranch! A DJ was setting up, cool vibes

Spacious restaurant.Atmosphere is nice. The food was good.Bangin Shrimp can use some improvement. The shrimp was too big, sauce was on the side..nothing spectacular. Crab and shrimp dip was great. The entrees we had was good. It would have been great, if it had more Alfredo sauce…I asked for more sauce, never got it…the other dish we ordered needed more sauce. I would go back again…Next time, I would request when order, what I want more of…

Celebrate my nephew 40th birthday. Great place for a party or just to relax and watch a game. I absolutely love the seafood pasta, so make sure you order something to eat. The employees that work there are all amazing

I came across Sofie's while trying to find somewhere to get lamb chops. I saw a few good review here, so I decided to give it a try. BIG MISTAKE. VERY DISAPPOINTED! I got the lamb chop meal with mash potatoes and asparagus. FIRST - extremely overpriced for the amount of food I got. I paid $36 and some change for this dish. As you see, I only got a little bit of food. There were no leftovers. Usually when I pay this much for food, it is enough to feed 2 people. SECOND - Yes, the chops were juicy and tender but the chops had no flavor. I mostly tasted the burntness from the grill it was cooked on. The mash potatoes tasted like box potatoes with a little butter. The asparagus also had no flavor. Just tasted like the asparagus was rolled in oil. I do not recommend this place. You don't get your monies worth in terms of the amount of food and the quality of the food. It doesn't even taste like restaurant-grade food for this to be an "upscale restaurant." The only pro I can give this place is that the staff were pretty friendly when I walked in to get my food BUT I am never going back. Sorry....

I visited Sofie’s for the first time last night. The live music was awesome, but it was just a little too loud. We had to speak loudly to the waitress and amongst each other, even though we were sitting shoulder to shoulder. There are TVs everywhere, perfect for game nights/days. The drinks were good and reasonably priced. We ordered wings. The lemon pepper wings were good, but the jerk wings were my least favorite. The sauce tasted like spicy BBQ sauce. Our waitress wasn’t the best. She was very good at pretending to be extremely busy while filling up cups of water. SMH. Most of the patrons were at the bar, so I’m not sure why it took so long to take our order, check in, etc. She didn’t write anything down when she took our order, and we had to remind her of what we ordered several times. Our fries didn’t come until we were almost ready for the tab. Overall, the experience wasn’t the best. We can say we’ve been there, but we most likely won’t be back

I was there for a private birthday party and the staff was professional and courteous. The food was good and just the right temperature. The place was jumping with lots of fun for all.

I had an amazing time at Sofie’s!! 5 stars all the way around!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️The staff were very attentive and friendly. The food was fresh and hot. I highly recommend the ribeye steak with mixed veggies. The drinks were exactly as I ordered plus more and then the entertainment was unmatched. The vibes overall were top tier. If you’re looking for downtown vibes without having to go downtown then Sofie’s is the place to be in north Charlotte.

My server was Helena. She started my day off perfectly. This was her first night working , and you would never know it by the quality of the service that she provided to me. Helena had a very happy, positive demeanor and provided service with a smile. It is truly a pleasure to know this kind of service still exists. I really appreciated her and she made the night worth it all. I will be back!
