Arrived an hour before the show and received our dinner 8 minutes before curtain call. What an absolute disaster and we will never consider dining at Sonata again. They should be embarrassed by this. Don't get suckered into the call to get you there ahead of time. A total scam. Eat somewhere else and enjoy the show. Epic fail.

Based upon the description and size of the new menu item the grilled vegetable platter provided by our excellent server Gabriel, we ordered/split it along with the delish bread service which was more than enough. We followed our meal with a tantalizing chocolate dessert which was a perfect way to end a delightful meal.

Went because it was a convenient place to eat before a Mahaffey performance but would come back even if I weren't going to a show. The food, service and ambiance were excellent.
Rhonda
The good news: the ambiance and our server Jenna. The bad news: most of our food came out cold. Short rib, for the price, was just so-so. Food here is very hit or miss especially for the cost!
Ann
Wish it were open on non-performance nights. The harbor view is lovely. Service was excellent and food tasty.
Thomas
Great experience and so convenient to the theater! Alex our bartender was wonderful! She was outgoing; friendly; professional and the main reason we may go back just for a drink. Derek our waiter was super friendly too. The food was excellent. It was well worth the visit.
Tobey
The only thing that would've made this better would be a dessert menu. Otherwise, it was absolutely wonderful.
Jim
The food was not great. We started with the caesar salad which was very good. The entre was the scallop dish. The scallops were so over-cooked it was like eating leather. The dish overall was greasy. The menu is very expensive and aligns with what one would expect for a venue eatery. The service was very good and the atmosphere is fantastic.

All was beyond perfect Server was excellent Food was outstanding as well as the Spanish wine Atmosphere and intimacy was superb Will surely return more often

Wonderful dining experience. Made reservations for 5:00 pm for a 7:00pm performance to allow ample time.Check-in went very smooth and the host scanned our tickets for the show prior to going up to the restaurant. The ambiance and views were beautiful with the massive moon and water views.The staff were friendly and attentive. Our entrees and drinks were amazing and came out promptly.
Super nice manager, hostess and waitress. Made us feel so welcome and very efficient. Thanks!

My first visit to Sonata and I loved it. Beautiful view and very good food. We were attending a show at the Mahaffey that night and going to dinner first at Sonata made the evening so nice. Check your theater tickets when you check in for dinner and so right after dinner we went right into the theater. It was a pleasure! And Paris our server was wonderful.

First, our waiter was very good. He let us know early that the Osso Bucco was in limited supply. He got the kitchen to sub risotto for the mashed potatoes. He followed instruction to bring the wine with the appetizers. The burnt end appetizer was excellent. The osso was supposed to be pork shank but was a little overdone and tasted more like beef but the risotto on which it was served was top shelf. The 3-mousse desert was very nice. Small slip ups like a missing napkin and lukewarm coffee were immediately rectified. The venue is in a performance hall (Mahaffey) and pricing reflects a captured audience.

Wonderful experience at Sonata as usual. The server was lovely. The food arrived timely and was delicious. Anything special was not a problem and the portions were very good sizes and excellent choice for before and a performance at the Mahaffey theater great value great food great service.

Our server Trevor was funny, timely, and made sure we got to the concert on time. Food was outstanding!
