Our dinner here was amazing. The NA and regular cocktails were top notch. The street corn appetizer was probably the highlight of our meal. Unlike anything I’ve ever had. Our entrées were also spectacular. And the stuffed brownie desert was a fitting end.
Service was wonderful. M made excellent recommendations. The pacing of the courses was just right, which really made the experience feel perfect.
The atmosphere was very pleasant. The decor was interesting. The music was the right volume and never got in the way of conversation. Seating was comfortable and spaced enough for private conversation.
Overall, this was the best dining experience I’ve had this year. A highlight of my visit to Cleveland. I’ll be back.

Google search of Lakewood spots turned up Sofia’s now in the former Salt location. Nice to see some of the interior repurposed! Delicious corn fritter special app along with seasonal rotating dip with bread. Mains were pan seared walleye also a special along with a chicken thigh dish. Found the chicken to be heavily salted but removed the skin and it was more palatable. Excellent cocktails and service

I went to Sofia’s Kitchen with a group of friends. The food and service were excellent. And the atmosphere was nice. The wait staff was super helpful and attentive, and our water glasses were always full. Everyone at the table tried something different and all were satisfied with their food and drinks. I will definitely eat there again.

The host was super nice and inviting and easily to make reservations. Waiter helps the large group stay on track with ordering drinks and food. I don’t like whiskey but I love the Blueberry cocktail. With each bite you take of the food it is full of flavor.
There is free parking in the back. Cute patio and indoor bar area off to the side

I came here on the second day it was opened, so I was excited to try it out but also open minded that there might be some kinks to work out. But everything went smoothly!
We made a reservation online, although probably not necessary as we were one of the only tables occupied when we got there at 5:30 on a Wednesday. It did fill up by the time we left though.
The hostess was very nice. We were seated in a booth, but the seats were very uncomfortable. You cannot sit back because the bench is too long, so my back was kind of hurting.
Almost immediately after we sat down, our waitress asked what bottle of wine we were having. I thought that was odd, but I didn’t know if they had those as a special on Wednesday nights or something (they didn’t, she just really liked wine). We replied that since we just sat down, we didn’t know what we wanted to drink yet, and she said oh sure we can start with cocktails and then get a bottle of wine after. She joked that one bottle of wine was really only two glasses. This was really off putting. I’ve honestly never been pressured to drink before. I know she was half joking, half salesperson, but it made me really uncomfortable. Not to mention, no way my husband and I could drive home if we drank all that!
Anyway, we decided on a Blueberry Patch and a Blackberry Smash cocktail ( a gin and a whiskey drink) both were absolutely delicious!
We love getting an appetizer, but nothing really stood out to us. We got the roasted nuts, which were very good! But heads up would only be a good app for two people as it was very small.
For our meal, I got the veggie sub. It was pretty good. Tasted like caramelized onions mostly, not in a bad way. Some of the fancy broccoli pieces were too tough to chew though. So kinda awkward to spit those out. And the bread was good but so thick and hard to eat as a sandwhich. The potatoes were good they were served with. My husband got a beef dip or something like that. He said it was good, but wasn’t really impressed.
Various people kept a filling up our water glasses throughout the night (no ice, small cups). And while I do love having a full glass of water, it was a little distracting how often they came over. Perhaps bigger glasses or leaving a water pitcher at the table would help.
Lastly, dessert! We got the Apple torte which was soo delicious!!!
Overall, it was a nice date night out and I would definitely come back again!

We were a group of 7 and everyone but one of us loved our meals. Drink menu is fun and enticing. Fish special, beet and carrot salad and noodle bowl and lamb burger all were delightful. The mushroom creamy pasta dish wasn’t a big hit. Space was nice – a like loud. Bar area welcoming also.

The lamb pasta with peas and carrots was fantastic! We tried one of every dessert! The apple tort and the berry crème brûlée were to die for!! Great atmosphere, food, and staff! Will most definitely be back again!!

Outstanding food and service! Our group had beet & carrot salad, lamb burger, Campanella, chicken thighs and pork prime rib. All were excellent. Nico’s (spelling?) was also excellent. She was friendly and attentive but not constantly hovering. Well done! Will definitely be back!

Cute ambiance.. however would not go back. Cocktails were not enjoyable- could hardly even drink them. Chicken was charred and burned. Salmon was so undercooked it was mush. The apple dessert was a disappointment. We left hungry and dissatisfied. Food was mediocre at best.

Amazing spot in Lakewood. The cocktails rival those of other cocktail bars, and the food was simply delicious. The Rigatoni was some of the best we’ve had, and the Arctic Char special was delightful. The potato and cauliflower soup was so flavorful, and the deviled eggs were excellent. Our bartender, Katie, was personable and knowledgeable, and she was super attentive to everyone at the bar.
