9314 Amherst Ave, Margate City, NJ 08402, United States
Sofia Margate a must go to. Amazing experience from the minute we walked into this aesthetically beautiful restaurant from start to finish. When we walked in Maria M was so welcoming. We felt like we walked into her home. So kind and just made us feel at home. From the fresh oysters to the crab cocktail to the Tzatziki with fresh pita absolutely amazing. Our silverware was changed with each course. The salmon melts in your mouth and the surf and turf prepared to perfection. We have been to many amazing restaurants in our time and never did a server come and remove the lobster tail shell from the plate so quickly. That server is Rena. She was spot on with every move. The desert from baclava to the fig and honey ice cream just divine. The Greek coffee amazing with a nice touch of a dipping pastry. To Marie M, Rena and all the staff just amazing. Let me just say our Mom is 91 and has been to a lifetime of restaurants and she said nothing has compared to Sofia Margate. Honestly she is a tough critic. Don’t pass this gem by. Absolutely amazing.

🇬🇷✨ Greek island vibes in MARGATE, baby! ✨🇬🇷 From the instant Sofia herself and her fabulous daughter Maria swept us into their world, we felt like long-lost family. Think wrought-iron arches, candlelit corners, and a dining room buzzing with laughter, clinking glasses, and the aroma of garlic-kissed olive oil. 🤌🏼🔥 What disappeared from our table (fast!): 🥗 Crisp Greek salad drizzled in liquid gold EVOO 🥩 Lollipop lamb chops that melt on contact 🐟 Whole bronzino—lemon, herbs, perfection 🍤 Shrimp souvlaki skewers snapping with citrus 🍅 Greek-style meatballs swimming in tangy tomato bliss 🔥 And YES—we had the legendary flaming saganaki, lit tableside and devoured within minutes! 🍷 The Greek wines they presented to us come from the land of Alexander the Great and the demigod Hercules—bold, rich, and absolutely divine. Every bite screamed “Yasou!” and every sip of wine had us planning our next visit before dessert even landed. If you crave home-style Greek cuisine served with genuine love, this is your seaside sanctuary. 🌊💙 📍 Sofias, Margate NJ — Pack your appetite, bring your besties, and get ready to feast like a Greek deity. Tell Maria and Sofia the PhillyFoodFanatic says Opa!!!
UPDATE: November 2024: We have been going down the shore on the occasional weekend and our first stop before even going to our apartment is to stop at Sofia's and sit at the bar for a quick dinner and drinks. We love all the food and they have a great wine menu. Drinks are made well. My only complaint is that their posted hours aren't really what they adhere to. We have been at the bar long before closing and tried to order food and the pizza oven was already shut down or "the kitchen staff all left" so we can't get dessert. And this might be about one hour before posted closing time. I wish they would give you final warning so we could get what we want. --- A little late with the review, but we sat at the bar for a quick dinner (reservations were unavailable) and we had an excellent time. The bartender was very attentive. The food was awesome. Can't wait for summer 2024 to go back. Will probably sit at the bar most times unless we are with more people!
We had an outstanding dinner experience on the upstairs dining area at Sofia’s. Our waitress, Albassa, was fantastic. The humus, meatball ap, and Greek salad were exceptional. Loved my salmon. It was a great night snd we will definitely be back!
This place is absolutely gorgeous inside and outside which makes it perfect for special events and taking pictures. It was very busy but since the restaurant is so large and well staffed they were able to accommodate my party of 2 without a reservation (however, I always recommend making a reservation just in case). I was blown away by the cauliflower appetizer so I had high expectation for the entrees. My table ordered the Salmon and the Lamb chops of which both were very mid, 4/10. Salmon was dry, and the lamb chops were very fatty so I barely got any meat since they only give you 3 lamb chops. I would definitely go back just for the cauliflower. Wine and cocktails (spicy margarita and espresso martini)were decent, not the best I ever had but still very tasty. Anyways, our waiter was very busy but he was very efficient and able to give us great service. The server assistant did a phenomenal job setting up our table for every course and she was extremely attentive so we never felt neglected.
