Sophia's Fine Dining at the Eriksen Premises

I visited this restaurant two years ago and had the best fish and chips ever. However, today was a completely different experience. It is no longer a sit-down service with a menu, as you now have to order at the counter. The menu has changed significantly, with no fish and chips available. I opted for the seafood chowder, but was disappointed to receive a small bowl of chowder and a store-bought bun. The chowder tasted like watered-down, lukewarm milk and lacked seafood - I could only find one scallop and a few traces of fish. After adding salt and pepper, we struggled to finish it. Even though it cost $41 for two small bowls of chowder and one coffee, I had to ask for water twice. The other guest did not receive any water at all. Prices may have gone up, but the quality of the food was barely edible. Needless to say, we will not be returning.

Our expectations for casual fine dining on our last night in Trinity were not met at this restaurant. The pasta dinner was served cold and the steak dinners were undercooked. Despite the high prices, the menu was very similar to the Dock Marina where we had dined previously. Our server did not inquire about our uneaten meals, which was disappointing. I had made a reservation well in advance due to the restaurant's charming appearance. For a more upscale dining experience, I would recommend trying the Artisan Inn, even though we opted not to eat there because of the set menu. In hindsight, I wish we had chosen to dine there instead.

I had breakfast here during my stay as well as enjoyed a nice dinner. Breakfast was great in spite of Covid fresh fruit, yogurt, muffin bagel bread, coffee tea and juice. They always made sure I had enough and offered more. Dinner was also very nice the fish cakes were lovely and served with a nice rhubarb chutney. The staff was very nice and accommodating. Much better service than at the Dock Marina!!!

A good place to enjoy a real Newfie dinner. We had cod tongue with mash potatoes which was ample and delicious, rich carrot cake for dessert. Service was nice and attentive. The decor OK but nothing special and could do with a facelift.

The staff at this restaurant is incredibly friendly and welcoming. The menu offers a wide variety of options to choose from. The food we tried, including the seafood platter, fish and chips, and crab cake with salad, was delicious. The portions were very generous, especially the crab cake and salad, which were both very satisfying and contained lots of tasty crab meat. I highly recommend this restaurant!
