Went there with my sister and brother for a special occasion and left feeling very disappointed. After years of hearing hype about how fantastic it was I was very disappointed in the place.
The decor is very kitch! Not at all what I expected for a $80 per head.
The food was nice but to be honest I've had better steaks elsewhere. I expected the steaks to be out of this world amazing and I found them to be bland and relatively flavorless. There was also a group of about 15 guys (upstairs) in the room with us and within 30mins of them being there they were very noisy and rowdy but the staff said nothing and just kept serving them alcohol.
Overall I was just disappointed as we'd heard such great things about it and it fell well short of expectations.

Approximate cost: $80

We went there because they advertise a children's play area!! The "play area" was a very small area which contained some very grubby looking soft toys, a small play gym and the are is open ended so children, of any age can run in and out as the please. The play are is also opposite the front door which is a little concerning.
We ordered a couple of pizza's which were honestly the worst pizza's we've ever had!! Greasy, sloppy and with too much tomato paste. The garlic pizza we ordered was also very average.
As a kid I used to eat at the original Sofia in Hawthorn at least once a month as a special family treat and it was fabulous. So to go to the Croydon restaurant and find it soooo incredibly disappointing was a real let down.
I would not describe it as kid friendly and the food was terrible.
All round very disappointing, especially considering the original restaurant used to be so fantastic.

Approximate cost: $10

Approximate cost: $50.00
