"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."

"I have been visiting this restaurant in Chelsea for many years now and always had a positive experience but last night it was quite the opposite. We went with my friends around 7:30 on a Sunday evening, while waiting for a table the waiter mumbled something that we did not quite get. Bottom line is that they were closing a few minutes after and we did not know, they served us the food in a rush,while eating it the music was turned off, we realised what was happening, the whole thing was very uncomfortable, adding the fact that they were all very rude.I asked one of them, if they were closing and the answer was, yes , acting offended that we did not know and it was our fault that they could not leave. We rushed to leave and felt very uncomfortable,I worked in catering and I know well how it works I would never go into a place that is closing. I also want to add that there was no 'opening hours written at the door and to me you the staff did not care to be clear about it ,especially in a restaurant, before taking an order. is it the customers fault if you frustrated at work?You should be clearer and advice people humanly, we would have gone somewhere else. I believe that this behaviour could be easily avoided, your staff should be kinder to customer and more communicative. Funny enough, in so many years the pancake never changed size, strangely enough they were much smaller last night, coincidence ?"
