"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."

"No idea what happened on Monday, and still zero communication apart from the restaurant apart from the money spent being silently refunded yesterday. Completely bizarre experience. We pre-ordered a home delivery Valentine's Day meal a day early to make sure they weren't sold out on...the day. After the food hadn't arrived, we called the restaurant and after minutes of confusion on the other end was eventually told our food was out for delivery. minutes later and still nothing, we called again and a similar amount of confusion came from the other end, except this time ending with it's minutes away from you Another minutes pass and we call, the time being about and the phone just rings through. Again and again. They are literally not picking up the phone at this point. Occasionally it goes through to voicemail as presumably some other confused customer attempts to contact them only for the phone to keep ringing. Now, it's a busy day for restaurants, so of course some problems are to be expected. But why was there absolutely zero communication? What happened to the food? Why was nobody answering the phone for the rest of the evening? Was it a desperate order from management in the chaos of an over-booked restaurant? Why did we not even get a text or email to explain that our food was never going to arrive? Again, a simple we're sorry, we were really busy and your food got lost stolen eaten, here's your money back and we hope you'll give us another chance some day would've been frustrating but at least we could have moved on and found something else to eat. The food IS good, and we have enjoyed it many times over the years. But instead, absolutely no explanation was given, no apology, no way to even contact them to find out what was going on. Just us having to guess that it's never going to arrive so it's time to make other plans, at going on on Valentine's Day. Oh, they did send out a marketing e-mail today advertising Great Value Mid Week Meal Deals For Two No thanks."
