Sophia’s — Restaurant in Jupiter Island

This is the first time I have ever been accosted after writing a review on a small matter from the manager. After having a few drinks and I denied knowing what he was talking about.We were 50 people for a birthday party, one of my friend’s wife asked for some help from the manager and never seen anyone so RUDE. She spoke to a woman inside that was very helpful and told her she would be happy to help her.We like the staff and service from staff and the food is great. We have many people living in Hobe Sound but feel very uncomfortable with this manager. I believe we all meet there and instead of eating we now only have a few drinks and go someplace else. This manager as you can see has scared away customers unless you are one of his friends. This past week we had friends asking if is he still there, they just said let’s go someplace else.This past Friday happy hour there was 3 men bartenders and only one was very helpful. If he was busy the manager and two other bartenders were laughing and having a great time ignoring customers and one bartender was trying to help as many as he could. The three lady bartenders were all complaining that he is very rude and harassing. Just consider or watch his attitude to see the problem. Thank you for...

My husband and I were looking forward to a lovely evening, especially since we live within walking distance and had made a reservation for 7 PM, as instructed.

Upon arrival, we were informed that there were no turkey dinners left. We were shocked, as we had specifically called to reserve our meals in advance. My husband opted for Swordfish, which he described as Just Ok, while I chose the Yellowtail Snapper, anticipating a delightful experience based on my previous visits to Key West. Unfortunately, the dish did not resemble the Yellowtail we expected at all, and my husband described it as tasting like “sawdust.”

We ended up spending over $100 for a meal that neither of us enjoyed, so I reluctantly decided to box up my food throw it in the fridge. To add to our discomfort, the lights kept flickering throughout our meal, which felt quite unsettling and gave the impression that we were being rushed out.

We were genuinely looking forward to our dinner at Sophia's, and it was disappointing that our experience did not meet our expectations. We hope this feedback will help enhance the dining experience for future guests.

Thank you for taking the time to address...

I Can’t say enough positive things about my experience here tonight. Sophie’s has a recipe for success from the atmosphere, the food and the service. This very well may be the best restaurant venue in Hobe Sound (10x better than when Taste was at its prime).

Lila was a great server with genuine charm and didn’t rush us at all. Her recommendations were spot on.

Mike the manager is a class act! I know a lot of managers in the industry and he is one of the more genuine and human I’ve met. Graciously talked to us for a bit after dinner and was present on the floor/door during service.

Ownership is lucky to have both Lila and Mike, remember, “people make a place”.

The Coconut Shrimp was great, very fresh, but the sauce with it made the dish. Highly recommend.

Asked Lila to choose between the Duck and The Grouper. She went with the Grouper and boy was I glad she did! Very light, generous portion with a side of coconut shrimp. My Dad ordered the burger and he said it was the best he has had in Florida (not easy to please him)

Thank you for a great evening, I’m so glad my family chose to eat with you tonight. Looking forward to...
