Hutt Street’s loud Mediterranean dining room pairs smoky wood-fired plates with blistering, salt-crusted puff bread pulled straight from the hearth. Crowd energy runs high—elbow-to-elbow tables and decibels to match—while the kitchen turns out charred octopus, whipped hummus, and plates of baked lobster rigatoni. Regulars lean toward the $49 lunchtime feed me spread on the sunlit patio, backed by thoughtful zero-proof cocktails and bottles of French wine. Service carries genuine warmth, keeping things moving with birthday toasts and effortless table care.

Before you head over
Practical tips on seating, dining portions, and special occasions at Sofia.
Opt for Alfresco Seating for Quieter Dining
Sofia gets lively and bustling, which can make indoor dining quite noisy; consider booking the outdoor patio or alfresco seating if you prefer easier conversation.
Arrive with an Appetite for the Feed Me Banquet
The curated Feed Me banquet delivers generous, hearty portions, so arrive hungry or consider pacing your orders if ordering à la carte alongside it.
Mention Birthdays and Dietary Needs in Advance
Inform staff when booking or arriving for celebrations; the team often provides thoughtful touches like birthday toasts and smoothly adjusts courses for dietary restrictions.
