Crowded and very noisy. Food quality is good. The bacon appetizer and the crab cake were very good. I had the prime rib medium. Would have been better if they used straight au jus instead of a thicken sauce.

11/17/2024 Updated review. One year later. Food is still fantastic. This time however the service was excellent as well.
09/16/2024:So the food here was just delicious. It was the service that was off. They tried to cut every corner. At these prices the expectations is that the service be perfect. And unfortunately it just was not any where close.
I’d give the service 5 stars even before considering the family friendly atmosphere and a staff that genuinely seems happy to see you. Zero complaints on food and drinks.

Fabulous atmosphere, with top notch service. I wouldn’t have wanted to celebrate my birthday anywhere else! All managers were extremely welcoming and kind throughout our experience. Our server, Victor, was as nice as could be and made our dinner very enjoyable. We had such a nice evening and they helped create the best memories to look back on! ❤️

We had a dinner reservation for 2 for dinner, our server was Sean. Amazing service, super helpful, polite, knowledgeable of the menu. He paid attention to all details and was always there whenever we needed anything. Cream Spinach that we ordered was great, ginger rice also was full of flavour. Would visit this restaurant again.

Sophia’s was an excellent choice to celebrate our son’s graduation from Navy boot camp. From the champagne toast to the wonderful dessert, Sophia’s made us feel so welcome! We enjoyed the impeccable food and attentive, personal service more than they can even imagine!

Absolutely the best dinner service! Thanks to all the staff for a great celebration for our party. Food is delicious, can't complain and the drinks hit the spot for us. We went on the weekend it was pretty busy but they worked to get us seated right away and also accommodated for our stroller. It's very clean and dimly lit which is standard for a steak house. Of course we had to get steak they were perfectly cooked medium rare. Highly recommend the white cheddar potato gratin.
Parking: Valet is complimentary in front of the restaurant
Took my son for his 24th birthday. Location in downtown Wilmette is the first positive. The restaurant itself is very warm and welcoming without being staid. The staff were personable and the service excellent. Try their unique bacon appetizer. ⚡️ Tablecloths, glasses and flatware were clean and free of the usual spots and crusted remains. Our steaks were prepared exactly as ordered. The sides are generous ( enough for 2-3) and well-prepared. The Manager, Joe, visited every table with a smile to make sure nothing was overlooked. This is what dining out should be. 👍🏻

Our first time at Sophia Steak was wonderful! Our server, Jose, was one of the best servers we have ever had—knowledgeable, warm, gracious, friendly, and attentive. He made our dining experience extremely special as he was so caring and genuine. The food and ambience were equally amazing. Great first experience at Sophia Steak all-around.

Well-appointed gastropub in Wilmette with a family feel combined with elevated dining offerings.
We stopped by after a round of golf for a few drinks, which turned into an excellent dinner.
Recommend the wagyu skewers (pic below ?????)!
Dined on miso salmon with ginger jasmine rice paired with a couple glasses of Flowers Pinot Noir (2022) ?? My friends noshed on the spicy chicken sandwich and ginger jasmine rice with shrimp ??
Super friendly and attentive service team and seat by the open air window provided an extra special experience.
Recommended for a business dinner based on my continuous happiness with the same group's Pomeroy up the street in Winnetka. Sophia Steak delivered. Everyone seemed happy with cocktails and wine as well as the dinner itself. Five of eight went with steaks, all cooked perfectly and tasty/juicy/tender. Parmesan frites good, other sides solid. Fair pricing for steakhouse setting. Service attentive. Sometimes steakhouses you get pretentious servers with lots to say...José was there when we needed him but not injecting himself. Will return

Sophia Steakhouse in Wilmette is an absolute gem! From the moment we walk in, we’re greeted by Annette, whose warm smile and welcoming presence instantly lights up the room. She is incredibly accommodating and always makes sure our experience is top-notch. The martinis here are perfectly crafted, and the overall energy in the restaurant is lively yet comfortable. Whether it's a special occasion or just a night out, Sophia Steakhouse never disappoints. Highly recommend! Five stars all the way!
