I had a frangelico on ice, could have done with a little less ice as it diluted the flavour a bit. Mum had a lovely glass of local sav blanc and dad just stuck with his limoncello! Within minutes of ordering food it was on the table as usual. I had the gnocchi amatriciana (minus mushrooms due to allergy, they are more than happy to oblige) entrée size, which is huge and a side of their onion rings which are in tempura batter and the best around! So light and crispy. Mum and dad both had the seafood baked avocado and both ordered a $6 side salad, not realizing that the side salad could have fed all of us as a side. As usual the seafood in their dish was fresh and delicious. We decided to go thirds in the huuuuuge crème brûlée as not one of us could have managed it on our own and the crunch was perfect and the custard underneath was smooth, sweet and not at all egg-y like some I've tried! I had so much left over gnocchi they gladly gave me a takeaway container and I enjoyed it the next day, but you must know how to store and reheat properly!!!! Overall Sofia Frankston is amazing value for money, fast service and because of their location their seafood is always so fresh. I have been to a few other Sofia franchise restaurants and left without eating much or at all! We will be back if we are in frankston and hungry as they always deliver excellence!

My latest visit was with a ratbag bunch of mates whereby 15 of us all made individual orders. I opted for the salt and pepper calamari pack which came with salad and chips. I was expecting one of those lame mesclun salad with one piece of tomato and one piece of cucumber. Not the case. It was a perfect portion of shredded (!) cucumber, onion and tomato on a bed of clean spinach leaves and a punchy dressing. The calamari was real, fresh and huge! I'm talking pieces the size of your hand covered in a salt and pepper powder (not floured). All of this with the addition of a bed of golden chips below. Oh yeah! There is plenty of seating inside and out, with the outside bench seats offering a view on to the waterfront which is stunning during sunset!

However, the price is kinda high and you are definitely paying for the ocean view and nice ambiance.

2 special memories - both because of the food…read more Good bay views from this upstairs restaurant. But these are surpassed by the tastes. I've a fond memory from eating in the restaurant some time ago, so today I came back. This time I sat on the veranda. My lunch was again very memorable. I sat next to 4 celebrating a 90th birthday over lunch and a bottle of red, so I wasn't the only person here for a memorable lunch. So the views and especially the food are elevated to a raised level, the service isn't. This time I found the service very mechanical: no welcoming, no friendly connection, and only one waiter was slightly passionate and engaging. As mentioned there's 2 seating areas (with the same menu it seems): enclosed windowed section, and a veranda with 1 wall of gently flapping see-through plastic. This is even brighter due to being lit from 2.5 sides, also 1 piece of plastic was slightly unzipped so a gentle breeze that smells of the sea. On the menu the starters are labelled Small Plates and the mains Larger. The well worded menu also encourages sharing. There is a good range of food and wines from both around the planet and around the peninsula. The food is inventive, well presented, tasty and nutritious. Given the location I was expecting a list of fish with the option of salad or veg. I didn't get the menu I was expecting, and struggled to find what to order. I ended up going for the Mixed FIsh Grill Kebabs. I also ended up ordering the Crab starter that came as a Lettuce Wrap. So I ended up with a partly Assemble Yourself Then Pick It Up And Eat It style lunch. This additional physical interaction with the food enhanced the amazing experience the food was. The tastes were sensational. Not only is the food fresh, it consists of amazing flavours and combinations of flavours. So, in summary: How good is the food? I found the service lacklustre and this place still gets 5 stars. Say no more.
