   I went to Sophies for a Christmas night out with my friend. The place looked perfect for a Christmas meet-up. Our pizzas were delicious as were our cocktails. We had enough space around us to be able to speak to each other without feeling overheard. The place was busy but noise wasn't overwhelming. The best part was the young woman who was serving us. She was really friendly, accommodating, and had a good sense of humour. She made the experience so much better. I am sorry that I didn't take her name to thank her here. In a city that's overwhelming at Christmas we had a lovely night at Sophies that was relaxing and enjoyable. Well done to all involved!

   Unfortunately the food wasn’t up to standard last night and I communicated it with the team. They were understanding and dealt with the situation well. I usually love Sophie’s and I also understand things aren’t always perfect.

   We are working our way through Galway brunch spots and unfortunately Sophie’s was very poor. The staff seemed nice and the decor is too. The food was awful- it arrived cold, chips undercooked, and poached eggs cooked solid. One of our party sent their food back but we all should have really. Certainly expensive for the quality of food. The menu looks nice but food is better anywhere else unfortunately.

   The no cake policy was a really nasty experience when we were there to celebrate a birthday. My mother came to surprise me, whom I never get to see, and she was met with hostility when she brought a very small cake to mark the occasion. Waiters were rude and we were all quite upset. My mother was spoken to poorly. A very disappointing experience. Especially when it was one that should been a special one.

   Hi Sorcha, Thanks for the feedback. We do reiterate this in our T & C policy when making a booking with us. It is a traceability factor more so as the food isn't prepared on site- We do however, offer a complimentary dessert plate as goodwill gesture for a special celebration with us. Apologies on the way this was handled by our staff on the day. I will share the feedback and will address this with the team. Thanks, Steven
