    Our first time dining at Sifi was wonderful, and everything was delicious. My favorite dishes were the grilled octopus appetizer and the lava cake. Our server, Kim, was also fantastic. We'll definitely be back.

    Village salad and side of roasted potatoes

    We dined in on a reservation and were seated promptly. Parking was an issue as they only do valet on Friday and Saturday nights with only a few spots in front of the restaurant. I had two glasses of wine, a village salad and a side of roasted potatoes (they were out of the garlic butter mashed potatoes). The total was over $60 without tip. The food was good but not exceptional especially for the price. The service was fast and friendly. The ambiance was warm and inviting though a bit loud as the restaurant filled for dinner. A party member got the sapore de mare with mussels and said she enjoyed the dish.

    Amazing service, ask for Yesi! You definitely won't be disappointed. Drinks were top notch, great ambiance and highly recommend if you're in the area.

    It was a great pleasure to attend Sofi's soft opening and enjoy a wonderful dining experience. Staff are friendly, courteous and professional. The decor is sleek with a touch of modern charm and style. The dining room seating is fantasticly comfortable. I made reservations to sit at the great bar to soak in the cool ambiance and relaxing vibes. Compliments to the cooking staff for the delicious food. Every bite had me craving for more. Look forward already to my return visit!

    The calamari was delicious and the branzino was good. The drinks are strong!!!! The staff is very pleasant and customer service oriented and the place is really cute.

    Very nice place. Very welcoming, staff is very attentive and food is great! Decided on frutti di mare and it was perfect serving size for one

    Stopped in to check out Sofi's now that it's open and occupying the old Bar Molino space. It was nicely decorated with comfortable seating and friendly staff. I was surprised to see how empty the restaurant was on a Sunday evening when so many other places are closed. I made reservations however they definitely weren't needed - hopefully that changes as more people hear about it being open and business picks up. We ordered calamari, octopus, meatballs and caprese to start. The apps were good but nothing I would write home about. The tomatoes in the caprese weren't quite rip yet so they were a little more firm than I prefer. The octopus was good but still a little chewy in the thicker piece. For entree we split the mussels served with pasta in a lemon butter sauce. Mussels were cooked great however the dish was missing something. I feel like the sauce needed a deeper flavor, maybe a white wine element or something. Our friends split the mushroom ravioli and loved it! The entree portions were decently sized for sharing and apps were big enough to split between 2-3 people. Overall the experience and food was good and I hope this place is very successful!

    We had a great experience at Sofis "s last night. Drinks, food and service were wonderful. Only issue was finding parking. Unfortunately we are from out of town and will not likely be back. We wish you all the best!

    Stumbled upon Brine on a rare kid-free night with my husband and couldn't have picked a better…read morespot. We arrived just in time for happy hour and were warmly greeted right away. We initially asked for indoor seating, but after seeing how cozy the space was, we happily switched to outdoor seating since the weather was perfect. We ordered two of each oyster, and they were fresh, salty, and incredibly smooth. We also decided to try the baked oysters--something my husband doesn't usually go for--but they ended up being his favorite. So much so that we ordered another round. Overall, it was a fantastic night and a great experience. We'll definitely be back.

    In the early 80s, when video games were all the rage, I remember hearing about a song about a video…read moregame. Like any good kid back then wanting to hear a particular song, I listened to my FM radio nonstop, waiting patiently to hear this crazy song called "Pac-Man Fever!" Sadly I don't ever recall actually hearing it on my favorite station. Hearing about new things is much easier now. Social media and the internet overwhelm me with what the algorithms think I want to see and learn about. And most of the time those crazy programs and their internet overlords are spot on! Take, for instance, a rather new restaurant in San Marco focusing on seafood. Shellfish and caviar to be specific. A few months ago all of my feeds were filled with information about a new place in town - Brine. Obviously, my wife and I, loving all things related with food, knew that we needed to try it. Well, today was that day. First, know that the parking lot is down a dead end street that looks spooky. Keep going. I didn't and ended up parking in the larger lot where La Napolera is located. The restaurant is tiny. Our server told us that the space was used to sell smoothies. Or perhaps it was a phone booth. Regardless it's intimate. And the food is fantastic! Colette our server was fantastic. Bubbly, helpful and definitely gave off the vibe that she was happy to be there, helping us enjoy our meal. She was great and I can't say enough good things about her. We opted to try the tasting menu. It's an option when you book online. We also chose to sit at the counter. An island of 4 seats that look at the other diners sitting at the tables inside. It's odd and Colette told us that the owners were planning on building an expanded space in the near future. The tasting menu is a seven course meal. If desired, you can choose to add a wine pairing. We got one wine pairing that we split - it was more than enough and the Brine folks were kind enough to put the wine into two glasses. As for the courses we had for our meal? Course 1 Champagne PEI oysters Each oyster included a different topping. There was butter. And chorizo. And caviar. Each was delicious and very different. A perfect way to start the meal. The champagne was also a great. Course 2 Riesling Yellow tail (hamachi) crudo with pineapple. The pineapple was prepared three ways. And while the wine was very dry and minerally (is that a word?) it worked PERFECTLY with the sweetness of the pineapple. To me this pairing worked the best. Course 3 Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand Tuna tartar with aioli on a fried panko crusted seaweed cracker. The tuna flavor was delicate and worked well on top of the seaweed cracker. Again, the wine worked very well with the flavors of the fish. Course 4 Chanin blanc Salad with iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, vinaigrette and butter and mashed potato and potato crisps. Lettuce and mashed potatoes? I don't know how. I don't know why. But it works. Really, really well. They're like mad scientists at Brine and they may be building a monster out of body parts. But darn it the potato/salad combo was fantastic! Course 5 Oaked Chardonnay Lobster cannelloni This was probably my favorite dish. The lobster filling was awesome and I literally wanted to fill a cup with the sauce and drink it through a straw. If you're not going to try the tasting menu I would highly recommend this for an entree. Course 6 Waygu shortrib and scallops and parsnips Ochetti langhe nebbiolo The scallops are sliced thin, which I liked a lot. The shortrib was good. I like parsnip, but I felt that its flavor overshadowed the flavors of the beef and the scallop. It's a tasty dish, but wasn't my favorite. Course 7 Cheesecake bread pudding with bourbon ice cream Chocolate pearls chocolate marscapone orange chocolate cake Solera 1847 Creme dulce Sherry Colette brought us two different desserts to try instead of each of us having the same. Both were fantastic. I think I liked the chocolate cake one more while my wife really enjoyed the cheesecake. The sherry was fine but didn't really add anything to the desserts. Course 8 (extra) Sugar cookie with vanilla ice cream and caviar. This was an extra treat that they brought. A cookie ice cream sandwich with caviar on it. Again, why does it work? I don't get it! But it was super tasty. We were both really full by this point but ate it all! Each course isn't a huge, but by the end we were stuffed. And splitting the wine was a good way let us drive home! The tasting menu is a great way to try Brine and the many of the flavor combinations they're putting together. It's not an inexpensive meal. But we knew that going in. The cost may turn some people off, but this was a fantastic meal with some wonderful staff. I don't play video games too much anymore. And I don't remember the Pac Man song. But I love food, and I know that if you do as well you'll love Brine!

My wife had the Breakfast Burrito, which I could've called from before we even walked in. If a place had a breakfast burrito, she's gonna order it. This one was great.

We went this past Friday and while they had the same great food (with one exception), same decor and vibe, it seemed as if the typically impeccable service was staring to slip.

Drinks not filled, food brought out a different points when we asked for it to be brought together etc. One of the guests requested their sauce on the side and it came right on top of her cold steak. We had to constantly grab anyone who worked there to get help and get served or drink refills. Very atypical of Prospect. I'm reviewing again to be constructive. I still love Prospect and I need them to be the excellent experience they have always been. I'm truly hoping this was a one off afternoon.

At some point my stomach reminded me that it is requiring fuel, so I ordered one of their gourmet glizzys and went with the Chicago Glizzy. Let me tell you... absolutely amazing.
