Our group of 4 had the utmost pleasure of being seated in Max’s section this evening and I'm not sure this restaurant's customer service can be topped. Between the Kelly’s Landing staff, food, and ambience, you can't ask for a better experience. However, it was truly our server Max working this particular evening that tied everything together to make our dinner memorable. Between the quality checks, small talk, menu knowledge, and attentiveness to our table, it's no wonder the place was packed. Our group honestly left the dinner talking about how floored we were with the service. This experience has set the bar and made regular customers of us. Thank you Kelly’s Landing team!

Amazing experience! The ambiance, music, food, and service were all excellent. I had an issue with my payment method, but both our server and the management team handled the situation with exceptional care, professionalism, and attentiveness. They truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. Thank you for such a wonderful overall experience. Highly recommended!

My wife, son and I visited Sofia for our 4th wedding anniversary. We wanted to pick a spot close to our home and decided that Sofia had won first place in the plethora of choices that we had to pick from. Right from being greeted at the hostess desk to being seated at our table in a corner by a window, everything was very smooth in its operation. A huge shoutout to FABIAN, who took such great care of us for the entirety of our evening. Fabian was extremely gracious, polite, well informed and had a sense of urgency when it came to our little 2 year old bundle of joy. Now let's talk food; we started with the hiramasa, carpaccio di manzo and the olive ascolane. Both crudos and the antipasti were outstanding. But for me the hiramasa took the cake. For mains we chose the 8oz filet and the 16oz ribeye alongiwth some sides from their newly launched sides selection. The broccolini with the lemon aioli was a great fresh way to serve it up rather than the run of the mill charred broccoli. The potato crocccante with the taleggio fonduta was a fresh way to showcase a potato side with a steak dinner. The pave was well compressed, fried well and served hot. The eggplant parmesan although good still can be better on flavor profile but nonetheless it was good. We finished off with a fantastic coconut cake with caramel sauce and banana center and to was it all down a doppio espresso and grappa sealed the deal. Keep it up Sofia. We will surely return
