Sofia on Cleveland

Ask the Surry Hills dining crowd where to find flawless Mediterranean execution, and they’ll point you straight to Level 1 on Cleveland Street. A masterclass in balance. Refined, yet entirely unpretentious. The kitchen delivers serious smoky depth—think perfectly blistered octopus, sweet prawns, and lamb ribs boasting a magnificent char. Start with the bright tuna tartare, then let the chefs flex with a sprawling banquet menu. But the real anchor here? The sheer filoxenia of the floor team. Driven by a fiercely passionate crew who break down every plate with effortless charm, the service strikes that rare equilibrium—hyper-attentive without hovering. Factor in a stunning dining room and a slick separate function space, and you've got a top-tier booking for both intimate dinners and massive celebrations.
