My meal at Sofrito was a top notch experience. Where to begin? Recently, on business I went to Sofrito in Manhattan. Now I am orginally from San Fran although have actually been to NY a number of instances. My family and I love the distinctiveness of places to eat. I found Sofrito as sophisticated all the way up, through the design through the presentation. Precisely relaxing and joyful mealEveryone at the restaurant was so awesome! The evening was outstanding. Even though no serious issues. Brilliant food! The price was what we expected though maybe a few dollars overly pricy. Visit right now prior to when the media hype becomes insane. We will certainly be back again soon.
