Sophie's Rooftop Galway in Galway

Had dinner here and it was really lovely (expensive but lovely and nice atmosphere) however my breakfasts costs 24€ including tea and an orange juice and looked like the below picture and kind of speaks for itself

Went for dinner with my girlfriend on Saturday night. We have been meaning to try Sophies for a while and after I had read previous reviews we decided to go. The venue is fantastic, it's a stunning location and it really feels how you expect the experience to feel once you arrive up the elevator. Service however was hit and miss, we arrived at the desk and two staff members half greeted us and told us the manager would be with us, this was fine as we assumed someone manages the main desk for the night. The manager when she did arrive barely even said hello, more so a glance at us just assuming we would give our booking details. She then stares at the booking system, grabbed the menus and signs for us to follow with a tilt of her head, I would expect a bit of a warmer greeting from the front of house considering the venues reputation, maybe she's new who knows. Then the service, we were sitting no more than 10 seconds when a waiter dropped two glasses of red wine to the table, clearly not meant for us but that wasn't a problem at all, we understood, until it happened another 3 or 4 times with multiple different waiters. The table to our right even had a charcuterie board dropped to their table upon their arrival, which they then started to eat and then it was taken away as it was a mistake. It just seemed that the wait staff were not fully checking their dockets and just grabbing the food and hoping for the best. The spacing of the tables isn't great either, we spent a good portion of the night with a waitresses bum in our faces while she took orders from the table to our left. We didn't mind the first 1 or 2 times but after that it just seemed a bit inconsiderate. Now the food was sublime, steak may be slightly on the pricey side but all in all I can't complain about the food, that was the highlight. Finally, THE WATER. now I know it's a fancy place and what not, but for a waiter to put a bottle of water on your table without you asking, and then add 2 euro to your bill is crazy. I don't care how fancy the place is, you shouldn't charge a table for water if the customer doesn't ask for water, end of. We did tip 20 euro as we enjoyed our night but there's a few small things they could do better. Not to be those people, but both myself and my girlfriend have worked in restaurants and we just know there's some things that could be better. Also my chair had a piece of sharp metal hanging off the edge of it that I did graze myself on, maybe a different customer would have made a complaint there and then but I let that slide, someone should definitely fix that as there are customers that will use that against the place. All in all, solid night, a good 7/10 I'd say. Front of house just has to smile a little :)

Staff were very friendly , we didn’t eat only had cocktails but they were beautiful and well balanced! We had the red wine margarita ( margarita on mars) and a mocktail

Well worth a visit Food is exceptional

We booked a table of 10 for a family meal. The ambience location and venue beautiful. The only option we had as a table of 10 was a set menu for 69 Euro. The set menu contained good options in fairness but unfortunately for 69 Euro it was too expensive in my view and the quality did not match the price. The toffee pudding dessert was not fresh it was dry and flaky with very little sauce. The service was slow and in the inattentive water having to be requested as an example. With a total price tag of 783 Euros with 2 of the 10 ordering pizza as teenagers definetly too expensive. Overall v's other restaurants with a similar pricetag it was lacking in quality & service & disappointing vs other Sophie's restaurants we have dined in In dublin were better....

I just wanted to share my experience from last Sunday morning. I went for brunch with some friends at this restaurant. I’ve been here before, about a year ago, and I also visited their Dublin branch — which used to be really good. Unfortunately, this time the quality dropped a lot. The food presentation was really poor — the bread was badly toasted, the plates looked messy, and overall it felt like no care was put into how things were served. At first, the waitress just dropped our drinks on the table and said, “everyone grab your own,” without even asking who ordered what. Later on, other waitresses were nicer and more polite, but the first impression really wasn’t great. My biggest disappointment though was the food — the flavor, the presentation, everything felt far from what it used to be. It’s a shame because I really liked this place before, but this time the experience was quite bad, especially for the price they charge.

Excelent food and brilliant service. Thank you for that nice evening.

Tasty food, enthusiastic and knowledgeable staff, and a great view! We really enjoyed it!

Great experience! Nico the waiter was great! Merci

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ October roadtrip in Ireland- made time for Galway! Sophie’s has such a fun vibe — stylish décor, a lively rooftop setting, and a really nice atmosphere. The food itself was pretty good, the wine and champagne selection more than made up for it. Great spot for drinks with a view, especially if you’re looking for a trendy rooftop experience in Galway. It’s on top of a hotel with a spa (which I’ll review separately), so it’s an easy place to make a night of it.
