    First time there and I was very impressed with layout. My wife got chicken with rice and beans and the chicken was very hard and under cooked. I had the steak and was very salty. It took a long time to get our food and the restaurant wasn’t very busy.

    Was there with our family for a birthday celebration and Sofrito's did not disappoint! The food was amazing as usual and the service was special! Charlene paid attention to all of our needs and she was very personable and caring. The music was fantastic and the view outside was beautiful on a bright cool evening! Everyone razed about their food.

    The restaurant is a good date night spot although the value for the price doesn’t quite align. Menu items are priced high and although it was flavorful and plentiful it’s not quite elevated to a level that matches the price tag. Not to mention there’s 0 parking and the parking offered was $20 for valet and valet is pretty much the only option other than walking several blocks. The service issue was through no actual fault of the staff more so over booking and being short staffed was the issue. Again no real fault of the staff our server and the manager were both lovely but that did leave us with a less than satisfactory experience. Either all that being said the drinks were strong the chicharron de pollo was some of the best I’ve ever had and the music selection was pretty solid. To summariz: had all the elements come together to build the experience properly from parking to service to food delivery time we wouldn’t have minded our $200 plus price tag. However because of unforeseen circumstances on the restaurants end we were sorely disappointed. We may be back to try happy hour but I don’t think we’ll be visiting for more than that.

    It was my first time at the restaurant with my family on Father's Day! It was perfect. We enjoyed the food - very delicious! Excellent service. It's definitely worth it - Valet parking only if you drive.
