My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our first time at The Sovereign, celebrating his birthday! He opted for the restaurant week menu, and I ordered from the regular dinner menu. He loved the mussels, and I enjoyed the duck confit. Annelise was attentive and gracious! We look forward to the next time we visit.

EDIT: I replied to the address given by the restaurant, both through google and opentable, and received no response. My original review still stands.

Being within walking distance of home, I used to count on Sovereign to serve a solid burger along with delicious beers. Although the beer list is still extensive, the food on my recent visit was a major disappointment along with the service.

The burger was overcooked and dry, the fries came out cold, and no one came by to check on things until we were nearly done eating. I only ate this mediocre meal because I was hungry and had to get to another meeting.

This being on a late afternoon with just five tables occupied — easy to notice when I looked around over and over for our server. Not sure whether the staff were overwhelmed or just AWOL. Sadly this is no longer a reliable place for a good meal.

Annelise is the best! Food is so good. I wish they had De Dolle Stille Nacht and Thiriez winter pepper all of the time! We're always looking for them.

Great food, drinks, and atmosphere. Carlos and Cecile are awesome. Cecile made me an amazing Last Word. (Also sorry for forgetting your name)

We experienced The Sovereign for restaurant week and were not disappointed! They had options for both meat/mussels lovers as well as as vegetarians. Servings were clearly made fresh and incredibly generous! The Sovereign is a cozy restaurant with a fun and relaxed vibe. Staff is incredibly helpful and friendly. We will be back!

Me and my husband looking for nice place for beer and food, thankfully we didn’t order any food because the beer was worst beer i ever had, it was taste like water and not even a pint!!!! But the price was a pint price! I wasn’t happy with service, atmosphere and the drink i received! The bar was too hot! we couldn’t even breathe! Don’t waste your time there.

Went in late for a late drink. Bartender was rude. Didn’t know how to even make a dirty martini, and tried to pretend he did. Also used his fingers to serve the olives. On top of that, they announced last call as a signal that they were closing but closed an hour early. Drinks and service were terrible.

Good experience overall except for plastic found in food.

They have a fantastic selection of drinks for reasonable prices. The food was tasty and delivered quickly.

I found a piece of plastic in the mussels that I accidentally ate and then spit out. I told the waiter as he cleared the table at the end of the meal. No dish comp, remake, or follow-up was provided.

The service and the atmosphere was amazing. The only thing I was expecting better of, was the food. Flavor was mild at best, and not fully what we expected.
