    Stofa is one of our favourite restaurants anywhere. The service is fantastic, the food is delicious, beautiful, and clever. The wine list is excellent and the cocktails are wonderful. We’ve thoroughly enjoyed ourselves each time we visited. Note: the kitchen does a wonderful job of accommodating food sensitivities. We look forward to our next visit.

    The food was wonderfully creative, with unusual combinations that worked beautifully. The seasoning was spot on while also being intriguing. Service was exemplary. It didn't matter who you spoke with, all the staff were well-versed with the menu. They don't have a lot of staff and everyone seemed to pitch in. Noise is usually an issue for us, but not at Stofa. We loved the discrete funky music and looked around to see what had been done to ensure that it didn't overpower the room. A lot! All in all, a wonderful experience and exceptional meal.

    As usual, we had a fantastic time. The ambiance was great , the staff were professional , friendly and informative , the food presentation and the taste was unbelievable. We come to Stofa as an annual event , a get-together with good friends in November. Always look forward to it and then to the following year. In fact, we may decide to make it a semi-annual event. Thanks so much from the 4 of us.

    It was a wonderful diner. The chef masters the mixture of texture and savors in each plate. We choose the three-course menu, adding oysters at the beginning. From the beginning to the end, it was a feast for our pallet. Not to forget, the waiter who was very knowledgeable. So it was A+++

    Server forgot our drink pairings and started it late, served one of us the wrong dessert, asked us if we wanted leftovers twice and still forgot to give it to us when we left and ignored us when we were waiting outside to talk to her to ask where it was. Also waited around 10mins for the hostess and ended up getting the attention of the bartender to be seated. Food however was a 15/10, hope service will be better if we decide to dine there again.
