Sofrito

My husband and I decided to try Sofrito after reading about it in The Post. He had the chicken with rice and I had the seafood stew. We were both very happy with our choices. Everything was delicious! The portions were decent and the prices were quite reasonable for the neighborhood. Also, our waiter was pleasant and the staff was attentive and helpful. Overall, we had no complaints and will definitely be back.

Me and my fiance discovered this place by accident and we are glad we did.We have been back 4 times in six weeks.Great food large portions and for us great service.We will be back many more times .fantastic

A friend and I went there for the first time without reservations on a Saturday. We were seated promptly and experienced excellent service, from the waitress to the busboy to the roving host who was keeping his eye on everything. The wait for the food seemed a little lengthly considering the place hadn't been open long and wasn't too crowded yet, but it was certainly worth the wait. My friend had the gigantic pernil, and I had the garlic shrimp. We started off with traditional mojitos, but then switched to pineapple mojitos, which were the best I've had this side of Miami. The atmosphere was pleasant, and even though it filled to capacity while we were there, we were still able to carry on a conversation. Our waitress was attentive and didn't rush us when we lingered over our meal. The portion size for the prices can't be beat. I try out Cuban and Puerto Rican restaurants all over the city, and this one definitely lived up to the hype. We will certainly be back.

This restaurant was great. I went for a friends birthday and it was beautiful! The food was soooooo good and the service was excellent as well. I dont know why others said it was bad, because they were great and on point with serving us. They were probably busy or short-staffed. But it's a nice restaurant, loved it and will be going again.

i just went there tonight(November 04 2006) and i liked it. The food was great, the staff were friendly although they need a little bit improvement on how to serve better. What i really like about this place is that it's clean and neat, the food is great and reasonable price compared to other places.and they use cloth napkin which is great!!! I hope they keep up thee good work and improve more. Overall, lovely place to go and hang out!!

I went there with my family on Oct 22, 2006. We were served late and I was served even later. They had forgotten my meal. I had to remind them about my food. The server did not come by to reserve our tables with water. I don't know if they were short-staffed or what. I will not be going there again. The atmosphere was pleasant, everyone looked happy, maybe it was to hopefully get their food and leave soon. I hope this restaurant reads their reviews and begin to work on their weaknesses.

The food is pretty good, considering it's not one of your mom and pop restaurants where you go to get food that taste closest to your grandmothers. The service is another story from being given the run around on how long you may have to wait and not getting a wait time to the manager having a poor attitude, a server telling you watch your back instead of excuse me and lastly when asked how was your experience and you saying not good and getting a response of "I know you do." All I can is good luck with the service.
