Went for Friday happy hour to check it out. Nice layout and being outside was nice with breeze and view. Bar bites though were tasteless as empanadas weren't really, chicken wings were hobbit sized and chips were underwhelming. Really wanted to like it but it was pricey, but service was great. Music was pumpin' tho often too loud to hear each other talk. Would visit the park again. read more

The food is great! I've been here several times and the food is great! Service is kind of slow when it's packed but hey. Tip the bus boy and they'll hook you up. I've recently been here for CINCO DE MAYO for a bdays brunch and if you're looking for a place to listen to food music and dance after eating this is your spot. They have hookahs but it ends at 9 on sundays. I've tried the pernil and steak and it's really good! This is a place that you need to be ready to party and have a good time if you're going on a. Date please expect to barely here anything your cutie is saying ! Being your bday cake but you have to pay if they cut it ! read more

Amy here with a large group and had a pre planned menu. The appetizers were ok. The steak bites were tough and not much flavor and the calamari was a little stringy when you take a bite. The sauces that went with the app platters were not great. The empanada bites were ok, again not much flavor. The presentation was not good, the steak and chicken bites were just put on the platter and looked like a bunch of little poops (sorry but they did). The churasco steak was ok and served with rice and beans which taste like the same food you get from a Bodega, sorry, nothing worth the price, you are better off going to a mom and pop spot on the block. The view was amazing and the waitstaff were on point with our large group. The dessert assortment was good. The pernil portion was very large and the seafood paella came with a lot of rice. People said that was good. It is $20 to park and $20 for a photo. read more

Went on a Thursday night alone to celebrate my bday, it was a relaxed night. The bartenders were friendly and helpful with the menu. They were right! The pernil was huge! Bone slid right out too. I wish the skin was crispy though it was more chewy. Other then that, not a bad night read more

Went here to celebrate Christmas Eve with friends and family (four of us). Hostess started out shitty as we entered and told us checking in our coats was mandatory by pointing to the sign and rolling her eyes. Looks like it wasn't enforced for everyone since we saw other people with coats on the back of their chairs. She got better by the end of our 3 minute interaction because we greeted her attitude with smiles. We had a reservation and we were about 5 minutes late. Be sure to get there within 15 minutes of your reservation or you'll lose it and they'll move on to the next guests (pretty standard). Decor was great, music was great but a little loud, food was awesome. Live music was actually great. People got up and danced in front of them. Waiter was great, quick service considering there were alot of people there. We all shared a sampler appetizer and ONE pitcher of sangria. The sangria tasted like cranberry juice so I wouldn't recommend it here. Two of us got mofongo as our entree, one got the HUGE pernil (look at my photos; it's huge), and the last got the ox tail. We got one dessert for the table. Our bill came out to $350 & ARRIVED WITH 18% GRATUITY INCLUDED. It's pretty standard with parties of 6 or more at restaurants to include tip but not with only 4 of us. Apparently they add gratuity once the bill hits $100 which is not stated anywhere. We likely would've tipped 20% as usual but it was annoying that the tip was included and it wasn't explained so we paid and moved on. For what we got, I feel like we paid ALOT and I cannot say it was worthwhile. Be prepared for a pricey night if you're going there... read more

Came here on a Sunday for a friend's birthday brunch. Located right inside Riverside Park, this place is very spacious and has a refreshing atmosphere. The brunch was fairly priced at $30 per person (excluding tips and taxes) which includes an appetizer, entree, and unlimited mimosas and sangrias. The food was great and the drinks definitely did their job. The staff was very attentive and ensured we were in good hands. After 4PM or so, this place basically turned into a lounge. After we had brunch, we got up to join everyone as they were dancing and having a great time. I will definitely be back! (Preferably in the summer so I can enjoy the outside seating!) read more

The food was good, but the selection wasn't the best for Mother's Day. That doesn't make the restaurant look good at all.

It was an excellent brunch experience for my birthday (which happened to fall on Easter this year). I had a large group of 14 and our service was on point, timely, and friendly. The "pre-fix" brunch is a great price, the drinks were satisfactory (if you know what I mean ) and the food was awesome. Even my Brooklyn friends were like "we have to come here more often," and they NEVER come to Harlem. I highly recommend Sofrito! read more

The server I had was the worst. She had blonde hair and she was a bartender at the bar. She was late to serve me because I had to ask my bartender who was my server. As always the food was good but the service was horrible. I did not leave her an extra tip because she was very mean to me! read more

I am incredibly disappointed in the service we received from this place. We've come countless times. This time, however, management truly took advantage of the situation and misleads it's customers. The contract and the menu says "complimentary" mimosas and sangria. Therefore, prior to confirming the reservation and signing the contract I did contact the location. I asked to confirm what complimentary meant, due to the fact that, I do work in the legal system and I wanted to assure it would be bottomless and everything was out and open and laid out in the table clear as Day. The person who answered the phone stated we would be poured drinks throughout the entire reservation just as long as the drinks were consumed. However, once we came we found out through the SERVER not even management that we were indeed misled. The server advised that we had 3 drink maximum during our 1.5 reservation. When it was brought up to management they decided to bring up the contract, and re-read the misleading information and mentioned we would not receive no more than a certain number of drinks, therefore, not making brunch bottomless. It is incredibly disappointing that an establishment with what use to be such high quality of service decided to leave their table of 20 guests with misleading information and unsatisfied service. I would absolutely not come here again. read more

We paid for tickets online for their NYE event to avoid a line. We've been waiting outside for an hour in 40 degree. We've missed one hour of the two-hour open bar. This was a scam! This is unacceptable and likely illegal. They should give us refunds and extend the open bar. Their excuse is that the coat check is taking long. This is a lie. Do better. And it's NYE, thanks for ruining the night Sofrito and Game Tight Entertainment NY. I'm going to get sick from pneumonia because of you. read more

[Brunch] If you're looking to have a fun time, don't care about the food or service, then this is the place to go. I had a wonderful time with my friends (a group of 10 people priced at about $55 a person including 2 hookahs) You HAVE to make a reservation or else be prepared to wait for about 2 hours, it gets wildly crowded, to the point where the waiter is hovering above your table and waiting for you to leave by constantly asking if you're done with your plate and rushing you to take it away. I took 2 stars off because the brunch menu was disappointing and extremely limited considering it's $42 a person (and you're limited to 3 mimosas). No one was fully satisfied with their food, but thank god the mimosas and hookah was strong and the music created a lit atmosphere to have fun and celebrate in. Some things to make note of is that the avocado toast comes with ONE PIECE OF BREAD with like 4 pieces of tomato and small chunks of mozzarella cheese. The French toast comes with a pineapple topping (which I wasn't a fan of, I wished they had a berry compote like most places do for brunch and I would've even settled for jam.) this seems like such little considering the price in comparison to other places. Like I said though, overall I had a great time the music was great and it's a nice fancy atmosphere. I took off 2 stars because I do feel like my brunch was rushed and the food was disappointing. read more

Wtf has happened to Sofrito. I used to love them when they were at their previous location, but this new location is awful. The service was really slow this evening and it seemed like there were a bunch of people but no one was really doing anything. I went with my parents and sister and we were seated, but no one came to our table until 15 minutes later. A girl showed up and said, "are you being helped?". Once my dad said no she said ," ok I'll bring you a drink menu ". We didn't need a drink menu because my parents had their drinks from the bar, but whatever. She comes back several minutes after and just stands there. My dad was like, " ook so we're ready ". I can't tell you her name because she never gave it to us. FF 45 minutes later and the food comes. My mother's chuletas were luke warm and my dad's pernil was kind of dry. Now the big issue. THE BILL. HOW DOES THE BILL ARRIVE WITH 18% GRATUITY INCLUDED. the menu stated gratuity of 5 people are more. We were a party of 5. We asked the waitress why it was added and she said," we add gratuity once the bill hits $100" That was not stated anywhere and what kinda place does that. It sounds illegal as hell and it's a major way to make sure people don't return. No bueno Sofritos! read more

Sofrito New York - How do you add 18% gratuity to a bill "once it hits $100"? - Latin American Near Me - New York, New York

Sofrito.....a very nice place but I didn't have the best experience this time. The new location is in a very nice secluded location now. I wasn't too sure if I could drive right in because it looks like you're driving into a park, but when we saw another car do it, we followed right behind. Valet parking is $15. The valet attendant told us that the general parking lot was blocks away and downstairs. What does he mean downstairs? The subway? I said I wasn't going through all of that with heels on so we went along. The ambiance is lovely....Indoor/Outdoor Bars, Indoor/Outdoor lounge areas, and a dining area inside. The view of the bridge and the water is just beautiful. The bridge can be seen from the inside too; One whole wall is a window. The first issue was the drink; It was awful. I ordered the White Sangria and it was a cup FULL of ice, with white wine, two oranges, and a cherry. I was not a happy camper. Second Issue: Our server was so sweet but unfortunately she messed up a little. She didn't ask the birthday girl if she wanted fried or grilled pork chops when she ordered, and ended up choosing fried on her own. The birthday girl originally wanted grilled and the server said in the nicest voice, "Well, the pork chops are already deep-frying so how do you feel about that?" (Insert your reply here) All in all, she got the pork chops she wanted without a long wait, but it was wrong for the waitress to assume....it made it seem like she didn't care about our service in a way....but other than that she was nice. I ordered the arroz con pollo which is delicioso and the portion is huge!! I had more than enough leftover to eat the next day. It had olives in it but I just picked them out. Third Issue: Before we got our food, the valet attendant comes up to the table and says "What car is yours?" My heart dropped to my stomach...I didn't know what he was gonna say. I told him, he fumbled through keys, found mine, handed it to me and said "your car is right in the front." I know we had a late reservation but if I'm gonna get partial service, then I should give partial payment. #JustSaying Fourth Issue: The mosquitoes were in full force and we never went outside. I know it's right by the water and it was night time but we were swatting bugs the whole time and we got bit up badly #JustSaying #Again It's a wonderful venue but I was just a little disappointed. I will try them again and I will not forget bug spray! read more

I came here for my friends 25th birthday. Bad idea!! When we arrive we had to May $15 cash to valet park. That's crazy! Then when we walked in there was a bouncer checking IDs. The music was extremely to loud we couldn't hear each other speak. The service was terrible. We arrived at 10:50 when our reservation was at 11. We didn't get seated until almost 11:40. After we ordered, the waiter never came to refill our drinks. The food came, it was slightly warm and salty. The plating of the food was average. I ordered the shredded beef switch was not spectacular. This place is nothing like the old location. On top of all of this, my friend ordered the pork and didn't like it. As soon as it came it was a whole chunk of pork like half the size of a brick. She asked if she can switch it to the shredded beef, the manager (David or Dave) told us we had to pay $10 on top the price of her meal to switch the meal. Are you serious!!!!! An extra $10 because they had to switch the meal to a cheaper meal. I have been to plenty of establishments and never heard of such a thing. This place is definitely not even 1 star but I have to give at least one star. read more

If I could give this place a negative rating I would. Their service has declined DRASTICALLY since they became Sofrito's as opposed to Riverbank Grill. Their food is way overpriced as well as their drink special. I ordered the huevos rancheros which indicated that the entree came with beans. The plate has maybe 20 beans on it max. It looks more like a garnish than a part of the actual meal. Their mimosas are basically orange juice. If I'm paying for a mimosa I expect to see some champagne in there. The service could be much better. It took about 10 minutes for someone to get us water and take our drink orders. And when I asked one of the wait staff if he was our waiter or if we should be expecting someone else soon, he answered with a bit of an attitude. Noel ended up being our server and was very nice throughout the meal. The look of the place gives the impression that it's more of a classy establishment. But if you're going to be "classy" I would suggest keeping the place more presentable. We were able to see a table with serving trays, dirty dishes and a staff member eating at one point. That stuff should be left for behind the scenes. I understand if the staff needs to eat but maybe pick a better location. It seemed strange for me to see this "break table" while I was trying really hard to enjoy my meal. I really wish this place would step it up. This could be a great place to have any meal or special occasion. But they really need to get their service and appearances together. read more

I went to Sofrito on the Hudson on July 2, 2017 for a friend's birthday. From the moment I was in the vicinity of the establishment, I heard really good music playing and saw nothing but beautiful people. We were seated quickly and comfortably (enough to sneak two extra people in the reservation for 10). The food was good- not the best Puerto Rican food I have ever had, but I grew up with Puerto Ricans so I have a different standard! I had the ropa vieja- could have used more meat but I've been known to be greedy...The Mimosas and Sangria was flowing non stop and you could get your buzz on without a problem. (Yes I was very greedy with these!) The views are lovely and the staff is spectacular. I would recommend making a reservation- people came in behind me and were told that there was a wait of one hour! (It was 3:55pm on a Sunday) read more

I had been to their midtown location in the past and always had a good time. I was reluctant to try the new location because of reviews as well as the fact restaurants are always off when they first open, but I decided to have a birthday brunch for my mom anyway. Ambiance: Place is spacious, fancy and chic. We sat inside because of the heatwave, but they have sits and couches outside overlooking the Hudson river and the George Washington bridge. Service: My mom and stepfather are not fluent in English so when I asked the waiter if he spoke Spanish, he said not much but got us a Spanish speaking waiter which I thought was super nice. Our waiter was super attentive. Some of our dishes came out but my two brothers, who ordered the same thing did not get their food at the same time. It turned out there was a glitch in the computer and the order did not go through. The chef came out to personally apologize and assured us their food would be out soon. He was super friendly. Food: For $30, you get one appetizer, main dish, dessert and unlimited mimosa or sangria. We each had a different appetizer and dish and we were all satisfied. I had the ropa vieja and it was good. My mom's churrasco was pretty good too. The tres leche cake was decent, the chocolate mousse (dark chocolate cake with a side of ice cream) was pretty awesome. The white sangria was strong and yummy! They sang happy birthday to my mom which was pretty nice. Overall, I would return for brunch and would like to try their happy hour. read more

After a very long winter the weather warmed up finally! A group of us made reservations to have Saturday brunch at Sofrito to celebrate a friend's birthday. Most of us arrived at 1:45pm for our 2pm reservation. However, 2 people from our party were running late. But the place wasn't as busy and the staff was nice enough to not charge us extra. We waited in the "lounge" while enjoying drinks from the bar. Once we were seated we were starving. The food was great and we kept getting free refills on our mimosas and sangrias. For a party of 5/6 more you automatically get the appetizer platter (comes with fried calamari, beef&chicken empanadas, and fried chorizo). HOWEVER, the service was very slow and unorganized. Tables seated after us got their appetizer platters first. When our appetizers were done our meals did not come out for another 30 to 45mins. In conclusion, food and the view is great. Refills on either mimosa or sangria was very generous. But service is VERY SLOW! So be prepared to be patient. ***Try to find parking on Riverside Drive to avoid valet*** read more

First time going to this restaurant. The location was nice and valet parking was available for $15.00. The setting is very loud and club like. The seating is cramped and the tables were small. We did not have reservations and waited about an hour for a table. The food was delicious and authentic and had a little spice to it. The entree portions are large and definitely can feed two people easily. The drinks were flavorful and a bit strong. A Prix fixe option was available for $45.00 a person which includes family style appetizers, soup or salad, a variety of entrees and a dessert platter. You could also get a pitcher of sangria for around the same price. Our waiter was not very helpful in informing of specials or prix fixe options. The waiter also stated that the restaurant did not carry coffee which I found odd, until my friends noticed another waiter providing the customer next to our table with coffee. Our waiter still insisted that the restaurant did not carry coffee until we pointed to the neighboring guest drinking coffee. The waiter then brought our table coffee but seemed annoyed at having to do so. A live DJ was present and the music was very good. The view is also beautiful. Unfortunately, due to a poor first time experience with the service I don't believe I will be returning to this location. read more

I have been to this restaurant a few times, and have had a decent experience albeit sometimes do not feel treated like other patrons. The food is ok and the drinks are great. Customer service on the other hand is atrocious. Today I called, they told me it is too late for a reservation, just walk in for a table. I arrived and Aaron told me that he "would see what he can do," and proceeded to look for a table. While I am waiting, a lady came and asked something. I told her we were fine, the gentleman was already looking for a table. She then proceeded to tell me, "we only have outdoor seating." I repeated that the gentleman was looking for a table. She said, "umhm ok." The man then told us to wait by the bar while they prepare the table. The woman, who refused to give her name, whispered to Aaron. And then we were told there were only outdoor seating now. If you already told a customer one thing, you stick to that, especially because a table was available. Although Aaron took ownership because his rude colleague decided to create an issue and turn away customers. That was not customer service and I don't jump to conclusions, but there were other black patrons taking issue with this young lady when I walked in. read more

Only reason I'm giving one star is because they don't have a half star option I ordered the churrasco plate ($36) food took forever and when it finally arrived the steak was burnt when I asked for it medium, rice and beans tasted microwaved I understand that with all the virus restrictions it's harder on the business's but come on almost 45 minutes waiting for food and then for it to come burnt huge disappointment especially with a resturaunt operating only at 50% capacity which means it was not busy at all there should be no excuse definitely will not be coming back here and don't recommend either. read more

I went out with friends for restaurant week on a Friday night. The restaurant is very nice inside. The atmosphere is great. I wasn't crazy about seeing dudes with their undies showing. I thought to myself what's up with the high school boppers. The bathroom killed it for me. There was a lady that handed us paper towels which is cool. There was a table where you can purchase products. I've seen this before in other places however the overall presentation and setup totally took away from the elegance of the rest of the restaurant. I felt as if I were at a street vendor. There were earrings on the wall, ugly! There were opened brushes, disgusting. I understand people needing to make money but let's keep the quality of the restaurant the same across the board. If your going to have hair brushes have them brand new and packaged. Selling earrings is so ghetto and smile. We had the prefix menu which I wasn't crazy about. The salad wasn't anything great. I was going to be safe and choose chicken. I love chicken but I decided to try something new. I ordered the skirt steak with white rice and black beans. I wasn't in love. I had high hopes for the skirt steak but again I'm comparing it to my dads skirt steak which is awesome! I think maybe I needed to have ordered it cooked another way. The desserts were ok. The chocolate molten cake wasn't warm. When I come into a restaurant like this I expect to be wow'd by the food. I've had better at little spots. I would come here to chill with friends if they wanted to get drinks. I don't know if I'd try the food again. Outside there is a bar and seating. The bartender Chris was very mindful of us. The bushes around the area sucked, they were ugly and they totally blocked the view if you were sitting down on the patio furniture. They need to be cut down. There was also a portion of the back area in a corner that had crap laying around, one being a ladder. I'm nit picking because the inside of the restaurant was awesome so I expect that same standard through out. The bathroom took off 1 star The back with bushes that need to be tended to took off 1 star The cold cake and mediocre food took another star off. Two can be fixed quickly. read more

For a long time Sofrito on 57th and 1st ave was a staple of great latin american dining in NYC. I am so bummed out about the location change. Having Sofrito at Riverbank park definitely benefits me because it's so much closer. However, they have seriously downgraded in neighborhoods. How do you go from Midtown East to Harlem? Lol... At a park, to say the least! I dont know... I'm just having a hard time seeing what used to be a "trendy" restaurant fit in at a mediocre park. This will definitely change Sofrito's image. Moving on... They have an outdoor area with great views of the George Washington bridge, which was very nice. Our waiter was nice but looked flustered, as he appeared to be the only waiter for the outdoor area. With that being said, we were there for brunch and asked for sangria which we got 15 minutes later. I don't understand how it takes so long to pour something that's already made. Also, the waiters here are walking around in blue jeans. That should not be allowed... C'mon, look presentable please! I definitely didn't feel like I was at a Sofrito establishment. Sangria was very strong, for those who enjoy that. My boyfriend and I enjoyed the empanadas and quesadilla, which were not bad at all. I had the piña colada french toast. Let me tell you, there's nothing "piña colada" about this toast! Yes, it's coconut crusted and has a pineapple reduction on top, but that's NOT piña colada! :-( I felt misled. I was hoping there was a piña colada sauce of some sort, but was wrong... And it's too sweet for my taste. My boyfriend got steak and eggs... He said it was good but nothing to rave about. Now for my final gripe, the brunch menu clearly says on the bottom that a 20% gratuity will be added to parties of 5 or more... Yet, the hefty 20% was tagged on our bill and we were just 2! I absolutely hate when businesses do this. Not only is this simply false advertisement, but let us tip you what we believe you're worthy of being tipped. All in all, this experience was not extremely terrible, but definitely didn't feel like I was at the Sofrito I know. read more

HORRIBLE!!! NEVER GET "THE SAMPLER" plate! This is a plate to share with others. We ordered ONLY 1 but when the bill came I told him there was a mistake because I was charged for 3. He tells me they charge per person, even though we got 1 platter we got charged for 3 and continues to tell me that he was nice enough to charge me for 3 instead of 4 (since there were 4 adults there)!!!!! This most be the dumbest thing I've ever heard. He refuse to change my bill. On top of that since there was more than 4 people (because I had two kids, making a total of 6), a 20% of gratuity was added. NEVER COMING BACK AGAIN! NOT WORTH THE HYPE! read more

Music was a little loud for a smallish Monday night crowd as some reviews said. We were here from North Carolina to visit family and the hospitality felt like I was right at home. We had the prix fixe for 4 people and I have never seen so much food! I might say the appetizers were a little better than the main course and wasn't very hungry when the entree arrived. Deserts were tasty and a nice finish. The view is beautiful, very surprised to see when we got there. read more

Food from the takeout place is average, I ordered tacos, empanadas and calamari. Tacos: not bad flavor but the lobster was tough and only one small piece Empanadas: skin was so thick. Empanada lacking flavor. Calamari: very oily (maybe oil was not hot enough and not drained after frying); the dipping sauce was tasteless Also, there were customers not wearing masks leaning over the cocktail section breathing on the ingredients that were being prepared. Poor hygiene - this should not be allowed. Disappointing read more

It was an ok experience for me and my friend. We came earlier than our dinner reservation, but they still sat us which was nice. This was 7pm on a Friday night and the music was RIDICULOUSLY loud. No one was even dancing yet.. and we just wanted to have dinner. After a couple of minutes of screaming across the table at each other, we asked if we could sit outside instead. It was windy but it was better than being in there. The waiter was nice. Really don't have any complaints about the service.. it was good! And we were both happy with the food and drinks. I think it would have been better if they started blasting the music later in the evening when people are only there to drink and dance read more

I enjoyed myself at this location..... I haven't been to Sofritos in years due to the poor treatment I received on 3 different occasions with this establishment. I wrote Sofritos off as bias and racist and said I would never visit them again..... This was in 2013 now fast forward to last week. when I heard there was a location uptown I was hesitant however me and my friend was hungry and didn't want to head downtown.... Initially our Lyft couldn't find the place, I think they should state that they're located in Riverbank state park. First off I love the location and view! being a harlemite I have vivid memories of riverbank park growing up so this restaurant next to the water was great and nostalgic for me. The decor is chic and spacious, the night I arrived was a Sunday night so not sure how packed this place gets on a popular night. The food........ Absolutely delicious!!! Total change from my other experience. Those pork chunks smh guuurrrrllllll! Oh and that sauce finger licking good!!! For entree my friend had the pork chops and I had the chicken monfongo. We both left happy and stuffed. Expect a flavor explosion in your mouth! The drinks was just okay we both had the DR and both thought our drinks were really really watered down. Not something I would do on my dime again unless it's happy hour, the drink was about 13 bucks. The mix itself would of been good if it wasn't watered down. The service was a Grand slam!!! as I stated previously I was nervous about this restaurant because of prior experiences, however I was treated so well this time around at the new location I was very happy about that and it made me automatically decide to visit again.... Sofritos is loud with a live Dj so it made it a little hard to hear each other but we were so engulfed in our food we cared.... 0%! I would say I wish the music was a bit of a mix instead of just Spanish music however it's a Spanish restaurant so hey..... I hope this establishment stays open through The summer if I could just imagine me hosting a nice bday brunch for myself at sofritos..... read more

I came here with my son and mother. We got seated pretty quick even though we made a reservation. The entire staff was so kind and accommodating. Paella was sooo good! I would have eaten every bite if I could! The sancocho was pretty tasty but could have used just a pinch of salt or spice, i don't know something was missing but I still enjoyed myself. Just a heads up you need to pay for valet, that's probably the only downfall for us but we still needed it because looking for parking in the cold weather we had today wouldn't have been with it.

AMAZING!! SOFRITO ON THE WATER ABSOLUTELY DESERVES 5 STARS! I recently married May 21st 2021 and after I held my wedding dinner there. It was an entire vibe! The restaurant is beautiful!! The staff were professional and very accommodating and the food was SPECTACULAR!! The music was on point and set the mood! Later we moved out doors along the water and continued our party in their outer space. It was a fantastic time from start to finish! Just amazing! All thanks to Evelyn the manager who was there for any questions and made sure everything came out perfect! She made it all happen and I couldn't of had a better experience anywhere else! Thank you Evelyn, and thank you to Sofrito and all the staff! You guys ROCK!!! read more

I have mixed feelings about Sofrito in midtown, I liked the vibe and the music but the food and drinks were quite awful, to my taste. The new location - in Riverbank park is absolutely stunning in the summer. The views of the Hudson and the G W Bridge creates a beautiful, romantic setting. The design is nice, the lighting is nice, inside and outdoor seating. I wasn't a fan of the food or the drinks so I had bubbly with a little passionfruit juice and left quite hungry. I wished there was music to dance to, even though the band was nice and seating outside on a nice summer evening was quite pleasant. I'd go for the setting, if nothing else. read more

Best food I've had in quite a while. The music was great, the atmosphere superb, the view at night gorgeous, the drinks WOW! I travel extensively, 32 countries and counting, I'm from PR so I know how the food should taste and everything was amazing. Ordered drinks and shots on the side, didn't need the extra shots. I see many ratings of 1 mostly from 2022, someone must have been fired because things seem to have definitely changed in 2023. read more
