Very nice atmosphere and some of the best views in Galway.

Ate at Sophie’s last night for my birthday dinner and from start to finish it was excellent, especially the service, the staff were so good they actually made the evening. Will definitely be back

Had an amazing dinner with such lovely food tonight at the Dean in Sophie’s Restaurant. The waiter Nico was so attentive to our requests, gave us a tip of going outside to admire the sunset before our dessert, a touch that made us feel so special. The host on duty Karina came in person to make sure we were having the best experience even though the restaurant was packed, which means the place is in such a level of service that make your meal a special occasion even if it’s not your birthday or anniversary. Food was beautifully presented and seasoned to a perfect point. Can’t wait to go back and enjoy the nice vibe and great atmosphere at the best rooftop in the west of Ireland.

Could be a 5 star experience with a little more effort. Ate at Sophie’s 2 nights this week whilst staying at the hotel.
First night Starters great but Pizza came out late & luke warm as if sitting around for ages & side salad didn’t turn up until we had nearly finished Pizza so sent it back. Also had to ask twice for side plates as sharing a Pizza. Staff member seemed not bothered & didn’t even apologise.
Second Night my steak arrived cold so sent back. Side of beans & onions arrived without an onion in sight so sent back also.
Second steak nicely cooked & hot & beans & onion dish very tasty. Must say one of best steaks i’ve ever tasted.
Just a shame couldn’t get it right first time.
Some staff training required ..relayed above to manager on duty.
A shout out to Rochelle for her bubbliness & Suzana for her pleasantness!

We are familiar with the brand from Dublin, so we decided to try Sophie’s in Galway during our visit. The service was good, and the food was delightful. One aspect we particularly appreciated was the distinct menu compared to the Dublin location, which made the experience feel fresh and unique.
We sampled the Antipasti platter, Burrata, and Mozzarella Pizza – all of which were superb. A highlight of the meal was discovering olive oil matured in sherry casks; it was so intriguing that I promptly ordered a bottle from Amazon to enjoy at home!
The only minor flaw in the experience was the sugar on the crème brûlée, which had been burnt to the point of being blackened and bitter. I brought this to the attention of the staff, but it did detract somewhat from the dessert's appeal.
Overall, it was a good experience, albeit not exceptional. We plan to explore other restaurants in Galway before revisiting Sophie’s. Should you have any recommendations for dining spots in the area, do share!

We very luckily managed to change our booking from Elephant & Castle to sit outside in the glorious sunshine on Friday evening at Sophie's Rooftop in Galway. Our friend was home from London and it was the perfect relaxed location to catch up with each other.
The food was delicious, as were the cocktails but the one thing that really stood out was the customer service!! Suzanna, our waitress went above and beyond for us, even taking a group pic for us. Her kind and relaxed manner put everyone at ease, and made our evening so much more enjoyable. She is a credit to this business and I hope her efforts are noticed. There was also another young waitress serving us, I didn't get her name but she was equally friendly and accommodating. Would come back for the service alone. :)

Food was very nice, but portions were very small. Even if the price was halved, it still wouldn't be worth it.
We weren't too happy about having to pay for tap water or being forced to leave a tip. The service was good, but a tip should be at the customer's discretion, not the restaurant's, even if there's a group of 6 or more.
There's a nice view of the city, but not worth it with the cost of everything else.
Very unlikely to be back.

The food was incredible. I was so impressed with the linguine with prawn dish! The ambiance, service, and overall experience was amazing. We had many dishes on the menu and everything was 10/10.
