Ate here on our first night on holiday, sat at a table on the beach and had an excellent meal - six nights in it is still the best meal we had. Fresh seafood on display so you can see how fresh it is, plus a massive choice of meats, starters and mains. Sole and Prawn Skewers were excellent - superb, fresh fish, really well cooked. Service is very slick and polished. You may a bit more here due to the location but also due to the excellent food, thoroughly recommend a visit.

Reviewed By hahatrare

I've read so much about the restaurant and was impatient to visit. Unfortunately,I was able to find the prices double in comparison with the uploaded pics here. Starters were extremely small portions and we decided definitely not to go for the main courses. Not a clue of the famous Turkish service we were able to see every-else-where place in Bodrum...In response to your review I would like to stay that our prices are on par with the majority of restaurants in the Bodrum area and that the photo uploaded here is from four years ago. Unfortunately the increases are beyond our control, the inflation rate in Turkey in recent years is well documented. To cover rent, staff and tax increases we have to increase our prices accordingly. Our appetizers are designed by definition to be a small portion of food before the main meal. I’m glad you enjoyed your other meals in Bodrum, what a shame for those businesses that you only used TripAdvisor to write one negative review.

The food and atmosphere were so good that despite wanting to try as many different places to eat local cuisine, the seven of us simply had to come back a few days later and enjoy it all again. This might be one of very few in the district where you should book ahead so as not to be disappointed.

On our last night in Bodrum, we decided to stay closer to our hotel. Based on the good reviews, we chose Sofi’s. It didn’t disappoint. We came after sunset, so we didn’t get to experience the beautiful views. However, the area was lively and we still sat along the waterside. I didn’t feel that we had missed out on anything, in other words. We were presented with a plate of traditional mezzes to choose from, which is a tradition I love! Seeing what you are getting, as well as an explanation of the dish, is always a plus. We chose two, one a spinach-based dip and a yogurt-based one, as well as octopus. They were all wonderful. My husband ordered a bottle of wine. However, they had ran out of his choice so the waiter brought two other options. He decided on one and said it was the best bottle he’d had while in Turkey! Cheers for the recommendation. I had eaten seafood for 2 straight weeks and decided on a meat dish. I had the traditional Shepherd’s dish, SAÇ KAVURMA, I believe it’s called (don’t quote me-still working on my Turkish). It was delicious and I’m just disappointed I couldn’t finish it all. The presentation was beautiful as well, as you can see from the photo. The owner or manager, Alex, came over to ensure everything was satisfying. I can understand why he gets so many compliments because he is very polite, funny and seems to truly care about his guests. We were too full for dessert although I won’t hesitate to return on our next trip. Then I’ll leave room for dessert. As an aside, the restaurant is in a small hotel that looks quite cute. I can’t speak to what it’s like to stay there, but it’s a fantastic location and I’d venture a guess that it would be a nice place to stay outside of a major resort. I couldn’t help taking some photos of the statues around the hotel area. Thank you to everyone at Sofi’s. We will be back!We appreciate your lovely review, please come again and join us for a great sunset at Sofi’s.We also would love to host you at Taskule Boutique Hotel on your next stay.
