Very welcoming and excellent service. Started with cocktails, had a couple appetizers and shared a main dish. Everything was delicious and fresh. The restaurant is very comfortable and nicely updated. Had a great visit and we will go back. Great to have this spot on 24th. Highly recommend.

Our dinner at Casa Sofia was absolutely excellent! From the food to the service to the ambiance and finally to the check! We wanted to taste a a variety of things - so we ordered 4 smaller plates: a salad, the octopus, the halibut tacos, and the mussels. Every single mouthful was delicious! And the service was amazing. We left very, very happy. It’s a beautiful restaurant that’s not very noisy. You can’t ask for more than that!

Excellent food with some interesting twists. I had an excellent salad with passionfruit dressing. A first for me. Another member of our party had a rice dish with an egg on top, he said it was perfect. I know we will be going back.

Fire + Ice is an absolute blast from start to finish! The moment you walk in, the atmosphere is electric—high-energy, vibrant, and filled with incredible smells from the massive central grill. The food experience is phenomenal. Being able to craft your own dish with fresh ingredients and watch it cooked right in front of you takes interactive dining to a whole new level. Hands down, the best custom grill dish I’ve ever had—packed with flavour, dynamic, and perfectly cooked every single time. The service was fast, friendly, and kept the great energy going all night. If you’re looking for fantastic food and an unforgettable night out, this is the place to be! 🔥🧊✨

Waitress was very attentive and accommodating. Cool vibe and for a city without a lot of cigar friendly places, this is a must.
