   Hi myself and my husband had a very lovely dinner at Sophie's last night food was amazing a bit long waiting for main course but was well worth the wait in the end 😉 waitress Catherine(i hope i remember her name correctly 😬) was super nice and she made our evening very special and enjoyable so thank u so much for that 🩷 as it is very hard to find good service nowadays we will definitely come back soon 🥰

   Sophie’s was delicious, and we had such a great time. The service was impeccable - we loved Susannah!

   From the time we arrived to the time we left, we were looked after really well. Lovely attentive staff, beautiful food, and great atmosphere. Thoroughly recommend Sophies, I will certainly be back.

   I had a lovely breakfast here; full Irish, toast & a pot of tea. It was very quiet when I arrived (it was later on in the morning). That 360° view upstairs is something else and very different between the morning and night-time. The food is lovely, the sausages & white pudding in particular and it was a nice change to have crushed potatoes served as well. Honestly I didn't feel hungry again until well after lunchtime.

   Probably the best pizza I've ever eaten (Diavola) & the skin-on fries were gorgeous. Ambience was lovely and I was very grateful for a wee bourbon selection. Near me there were two ladies drinking cocktails & they looked/sounded very impressed with them. The staff are lovely in the hotel, whether at reception or at one of the bars or in the dining room @ Sophie's and they're good at anticipating what you might need. It was a positive experience for me and I liked it so much that I'm returning soon. I didn't manage to eat at Elephant & Castle on this trip, but I will try it the next time.

   Great views of the city but the service was bad. Was never checked on. A couple next to us got sat after us but was served before us and was checked on regularly. They never brought my second drink I ordered. They also did not have ingredients for a dirty gin martini.

   We were thrown off by the lack of reception at check in, felt very unwelcome, and then had a 20 minute wait to be greeted at the table. “Jess” was so sweet and fantastic to us thereafter, but it was a little too late for us.

   Great food but service needs some work. Took 45 minutes to get all drinks. Servers did not know who had what and kept bringing wrong items to our table. When it came to depart we had to find our server to get our check. Seafood linguini was wonderful as well as other items. Just wished service was better.

   Lovely interior space with attentive, unobtrusive service. Scallop starter was nicely prepared. Diavalo pizza and calzone were incredible. Plenty of beverage options.

    We had dinner in Sophie’s in galway and I was so disappointed the food was just awful. The bruschetta was 2 piece of half burnt very dry bread a ball of mozzarella and 3 figs and a pile of lettuce!!! Not a tomato in sight considering it’s bruschetta??? All fired on to a plate so u had to make it up urself was absolutely awful, I said this to waitress and she simply didn’t care. The mains were okay but not a lot of food considering I couldn’t eat the starter and no veg or side dish with this so I ordered truffle fries which were a soggy mess !! A pile of garlic mayo thrown on top made the chips soggy and looked like it was sitting there ages so unappetising , then I ordered Eton mess , so again expecting what would be the classic recipe for same, strawberries and meringue and cream , I got a pile of strawberry ice cream and a few bits of meringue sprinkled on top , it was awful I sent it back again waitress didn’t give a damn …. My husbands food was same, awful and kids pizzas burnt base and a soggy mess , it was just a horrible meal everything about it was bad and poor standard , service and food and we paid almost 200 for the four of us which was fine if food was up to scratch. I hope the management takes this feedback into consideration. I was really looking forward to a great experience, but sadly, this visit missed the mark. I hope they can improve.
