    We had a delicious meal in the bright and beautiful Bar Sofia. We came for brunch and it did not disappoint. Our server was really friendly and engaging. She was there when we needed something but didn't hover or hurry us. Cocktails were delicious twists on classics. We had pork belly tacos, mushroom tacos, chips and guac (which was so fresh!!) a fruit plate of watermelon and strawberries and churros with caramel and chocolate for dessert. Amazing experience!

    Amazing experience as always. I got there with only 10 min of happy hour but they still offered me a drink from that menu! It was awesome 🩷.

    We had a great time here! The guacamole is fresh and to die for. All of the food we had was truly outstanding. Will be back anytime we’re in town.

    I love this place. The decor is beautiful and the staff are wonderful. This time the food wasn’t quite as great as usual - it was a quiet stormy day to be fair - but we still enjoyed it. The food is delicious and well presented. Lots of really vibrant flavours and a nice mix of tastes. The small plates are quite small for the price but tasty.
