| - Fantastic!
I went here on 4/5/14 for lunch with my husband. We had coffee to start, which was delicious. They use their own blend that's locally roasted. It was just what we needed for a mid-morning pick me up.
My husband ordered eggs, toast, and their own (delicious) Albanian sausage. He liked his meal a lot, but my meal stole the show. I ordered the Beef Skewers entree which consisted of steak tenderloin medallions seasoned with Mediterranean spices and served on steel skewers. The steak was served with grilled zucchini slices, homemade yogurt-dill sauce, a delicious veggie-rice pilaf, and a side of homemade hummus.
Where do I begin with my praise?
First of all, the beef was **tender**, which was my biggest concern when I ordered. They asked me how I wanted the beef cooked (medium rare), and then delivered me perfectly seasoned beef with a perfectly pink medium rare center. The yogurt-dill sauce was great, and I used it as a dip for my meat. The zucchini was not mushy and had cute grill marks on it. I don't love zucchini, but I was able to eat a few pieces of it, which is a true testament to how well it was prepared. The hummus was awesome too...except that the hummus was sort of on its own, so I ordered a side of pita to dip in it. The pita was warm and crunchy around the edges when it was served, and it was the perfect complement to the rich and garlicky hummus.
On top of the excellent food, service was extremely friendly, prompt, and the waitress tasked with refilling water and coffee was on her game. Our glasses never went empty for more than 10 seconds before she was back with a refill. This was on a Saturday morning after we waited for 5 minutes for a seat. The place was pretty much at capacity, but the service was still top-notch.
The only negative in my eyes was that the menu is a bit pricey, and the portions are a little on the small side. I've never been the type of diner to equate large portions with a good restaurant experience, and I have a normal to small appetite anyway, so it wasn't a problem with me. However, a big burly man might have an issue with portion size. I also feel the price reflects the quality of the food, and the old addage "you get what you pay for" holds true. Finally, it's only a couple dollars more expensive than going to someplace like Perkins, and it is 100000000 times better in every way!
Next time you want to go out for lunch or dinner, give Sofra a try. It's awesome and I guarantee you'll have a great experience there.
