Sophia Steak - Wilmette

I really wish I had dined outside. The interior was nice, but with such a beautiful night and the lights, it would have been perfect. The food and service were fantastic!

We love Sonia Steak and highly recommend. The food is great and the people are even better! My wife loves the Tuna Tataki and I love the halibut!

Walked out after being led to back room with nobody in it while tables up front were vacant. Said they had reservations fir those but we had reservations and were there on time for ours. No apologies or attempt to fix the situation. Northshore at its worst. Ate there previously. Won't be back.

Very good steak and very convenient for the suburbs. Price point is a bit high for the experience and similar to the big city. Solid all around.

However, I found the food to be underwhelming, rating it around 3 out of 5. We tried the grilled octopus, which lacked flavor, and the wedge salad which was similarly bland (they use blue cheese dressing instead of actual blue cheese). Even the burger fell flat in taste. The spicy chicken sandwich was a decent choice, though. While I admit we haven't explored the signature items on the menu, based on our experiences with the dishes we ordered, I’m not feeling adventurous enough to try the more substantial offerings. The restaurant excels in service and atmosphere, but in terms of flavor, I've had much better elsewhere. I likely won't return.
