Sophie's Steak House - London

I have been a loyal patron of Sophie's Steakhouse for many years. The atmosphere is always lively and enjoyable. The service is welcoming and efficient. The menu is extensive, with a great variety of steak and other classic dishes you would expect from a steakhouse. While prices have increased over time, the overall value for money remains excellent.

We absolutely loved our experience at this restaurant! We visited with our British friends and had an amazing time. I highly recommend it to any Americans who are traveling to London, England.

One freezing Saturday afternoon, sales-weary and hungry, we decided to have a look for the Rossopomodoro on the Fulham Road that everyone on TP's been raving about. To our dismay, it was closed until the evening, and Sophie's was one of the nearest (and warmest) options.Our friendly Aussie waiter was over in a flash and we soon had two glasses of very agreeable house red in front of us. They had a special lunch offer running until which was for two courses, including a rib-eye steak and fries, so we plumped for that. To start, I had a fantastically American house salad (chopped, mixed with cabbage and thousand island dressing, and served in a wooden bowl) and the Mr. had soup of the day, which was rocket and potato. He wasn't overwhelmed, but I liked it.On to the steaks. For cheap lunchtime cuts, they were well-cooked and very tasty. I was really pleasantly surprised. The vibe in Sophie's was just right too not too light, no hurry, and the bar looked as if it had real potential to get busy later on. I liked it here a lot, and will definitely return for dinner sometime.

Went there earlier this week for a catch up with a couple of old friends. Whilst overheard conversations around the bar hinted darkly of market stresses' and credit crunches' the chelsea crowd were determined to enjoy their tuesday evening and the place was as packed as ever. We got there for around and, with about a minute wait for a table (no reservations), ordered a bottle of Montepulciano from their well priced wine menu and stood jawing at the bar. Service was fantastic throughout the meal and as soon a table became availiable we were ushered through.Started with the whitebait special and had a great ribeye for main. Total for the of us with starters, mains, sides (no desert) and of good wine came to about summary, Sophies is friendly, warm and and packed with the well-groomed year old Chelsea crowd. Not somewhere I'd suggest for a romantic first date, but good for a fun evening out with friends.

I have visited this restaurant multiple times and highly recommend it. The atmosphere is relaxed, fun, and modern, lively but not overwhelming. The bar is small and tends to get busy because they don't take reservations, it's first come first served. It's usually very crowded, so make sure to arrive early and when you're not too hungry. The steaks are excellent (as the name implies), but there are plenty of other delicious options on the menu. The house BBQ sauce is outstanding.
