"since over 15 years sophies steakhouse visited and since the summer it was my first time. I went past the last weeks often to visit during the tireless veganuary, so I jumped on the opportunity to have a relaxed dinner there...with a friend on a Tuesday night. the dinner itself was the usual quality ingredients simple things made very good and fair value for the location as expected. I was disappointed, however, that I was at the reception of the restaurant for approx. 5 minutes were allowed to stand (besides a board that has asked customers to wait) where I was ignored, although I was passed on several times by the employees without gruß or recognition. it seems quite unnecessary that customers (also with reservations) on this wise on a Tuesday night around 19:30 clock, if there is a bar area on the immediate left side of the at the beginning that I quite comfortable my time in, until someone around me to put around me and safe enough, a small waiting snake formed behind us through the time we finally sit, although there is a series of open tables. my words very carefully to choose, I told the waiter (the manager) when he put us that as “a courteous world of advice” when they let customers wait at the entrance, they should be more of an effort to welcome them immediately, but this seemed to be taken as a personal affront and I was accused that it was quite hysterical, “he was being back in the moment when I met him during this already negotiated exchange we were asked twice (at this point) if we wanted to proceed with our booking by the waiter who obviously had decided that he would rather leave the partially empty restaurant. Despite every attempt to go, I didn't want my friend embarrassing, who visited the restaurant more regularly from late, so we tried to make the best of an otherwise insignificant dinner. within spores of playing the sacrifice, the waiter could explain that he was very stressed, as they were particularly short workers (the experience of my friend also from a previous visit) and fair to him seemed to be that he had a large area on his own. Of course, I have addressed any sympathy, and it is a management problem that must be solved especially for that of human, but why not just with an excuse or even only a recognition of feedback received, instead of expressing themselves and making absurd accusations if it receives polite and constructive feedback? would the device rather not mention a bad customer experience and decide to simply go into reasonable feedback? to his credit, the rest of the service was professional, but it is hard to do such a basic misunderstanding of the customer service in a time when they think restaurants should do everything in their power to customers again welcome after the break-up of the last 18 months. the whole episode is pretty bad at sophies I'm sorry to say and I won't be back in a hurry."

"what can I say, great food, great goodness. we visited on Friday evening of our stay in lyme, as it was our high-time anniversary and decided to push the boat, but not exaggerated so (sometimes some good intentions). to go with our first glass lyme bay fizz, we had cockle popcorn and a few fried oysters. Now. cockle popcorn. buy it all right away. it's amazing. battered, fried, served with scotch bonnet mayo. these are also very good, and the mayo has been made with care, not napalm, and therefore is exactly the right level of heat. for beginners my wife had baked scallops, which had a salty, herby crumb that I can still taste, and I had the shellfish soup that was also very delicious. this is due to the production method that uses all the replacement shell parts that discard the restaurant to make a delicious and warming suppe. that was a problem for me as I forgot to check if it crab, on which I have either an intolerance or allergy. I wish I had, because when we came back the next day, one of the workers looked absolutely destroyed when I explained what had happened and poured the quality of the previous evening, I didn't want to emphasize their day anymore. fortunately, I had only one bad one for one night and it could have been much worse. pity really, it was an amazing dish with a beautiful taste. for the net, the lobster for both of us 't disappointed either though asking for a claw cracker if (not if) they try. we didn't do it, and as a result, I've cut my headline. Don't worry, delicious lobster and good chips. desserts were fabulous and my son had a chocolate mousse about the size of a small cat. is this the highest degree of fine dining, which is distorted on several Michael stars? no does it have to be? no is this an excellent restaurant with a view of the lyme bay, with know, attentive, and friendly staff, served fantastic eating? absolutely yes we liked it so much in the did, we went the next day for a late afternoon drink and snack, where I am very glad that we directed to the sticky Korean style monkfish cheeks. together with the cockle popcorn I could just eat a bucket of those, unfortunately this would have made our subsequent round of minigolf a challenge. go here for a culinary experience that firmly on my will do absolutely again and tell everyone to do the same list."
