Sophie's Steakhouse

Have been to Sophie's on numerous occasions, and have to say that the Ribeye is the best cut to go for, done medium rare. Succulent, tender and sublime.

The service is a little rushed and often dificult to get hold of, but usually when it's heaving in there. But still it's a great place to laugh and drink with friends whilst you're waiting for the bill.

Be warned - you need a serious appetite to gobble down 3 courses! I've only ever managed 2 courses before rolling myself out the door...

This place is fabulous! I had friends over from Spain and decided to take them there on Saturday night which was a perfect choice as the evening was just lovely. Despise the fact the place was a bit crowed they managed to get us a table quite quick and the tables at the bar area were perfect for some pre drinks. Meal turned out to be excellent and the service was superb. Greatly recommended as a place to take friends over from out of UK! I am definitely going back there again!!!

Despite a slightly crowded bar for pre dinner drinks, Sophie's lived up to its reputation for excellent fillet steaks and a wide wine list perfect for middle of the week engorgement. Evening was finished off with a fabulous choc brownie drizzled with chocolate sauce and ice cream...not bad for £30 a head.

To find restaurant where the owners actually work the floor, with a tea towel tucked into their jeans at the ready, is fantastic!

Sophies' is a class steak house offering value for money on quality wines, cocktails, steaks and vibe. They don't take bookings but the bar serves a great range and beer on tap while u wait!

Service is attentive yet unintrusive. A staff of well groomed, knowledgable and friendly people, add to the fantastic buzz of the place.

Decor is industrial with bare brick walls, light bulbs and solid wood furniture.

MUST TRY: Kikkis' Mojitto, Chateaubriand or Porterhouse to share, cheese cake of the day!

Great find, I'll be back!

First of all, Sophie is someone whose parents bought her one shop and the one next door and she knocked them together and created one of the best places in London!

I love this place - great food, great wine (reasonably priced), and the best thing the atmosphere. Always busy which gives it the buzz but I think the service is fine. Friendly waitresses and lovely cocktails!

Can't fault the place and hence why I spend so many lunches/evenings there!

Atmosphere of the restaurant is quite nice, however meat handling skills of the chef/cook seem pretty poor and definitely not worth the price. One could consider having a drink here at the bar. But there are far better steakhouses out there to have a nice and well handled piece of meat.

One person of our group ordered a "medium-well" steak and what was brought to the table was a significantly burnt piece of black meat. The question if a steak ordered "well done" would then have been a piece of charcoal was answered with "probably yes" by the staff. After complaining about the burnt meat the answer of the manager was that this is how a medium-well steak should be and this is exactly how is done in the US. They finally brought a new steak, giving us the feelling to having been completely unreasonable. However, they were still not able to cook a medium-well steak in one piece and delivered it already cut in slices. Not really how you would expect a steak to look like before you start eating it.

Finally, complaints about the cooking of the meat seems pretty common here. A person seated on the table next to us also had to send his steak back.

I have been there both last year and this year for a total of 3 times, each time with friends or family and must say the food is quite good and the service is absolutely great, with nonintrusive yet helpful waiters and a relaxing atmosphere.

While the seating may look less than spacious to start out with, once the lights dim down and you are engaged in a talk and enjoying your meal, you won't notice.

Price is slightly on the expensive side but very much acceptable:

~14 pounds for a steak which comes with a side dish (potatoes or salad).

Definitely a place to take friends to or just to have a good dinner at.

very nice decor, good service, great starters, however the steak, ordered medium, was BURNT to a crisp. At £17.95 it was the smallest and worst cook meat I've ever had.. pity, because up until then I would've returned.

Best steak I have ever had(10oz Rib Eye).Cooked perfectly to my liking (rare).

I cut the steak with the back of my knife as if it were butter.

The sophies steak sauce and the bernaise butter were also fantastic.

My only moans would be they forgot my chips and they did not offer much choice for a vegetarian.But my daughter seemed content with a jacket potato.

Good freindly service and good atmosphere.

Would recommend and will definately eat their again.
