Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Sotogrande is conveniently located in Pier 66, offering amazing views and breathtaking sunsets. The menu is Mediterranean-inspired, and despite our server’s recommendation of the steak, our favorite dishes were the catch of the day and the lamb. The desserts were delicious, especially the Basque cake. What truly surprised us was the quality of their wines. They have some wines specifically imported by one of the owners, and we were pleasantly surprised by the quality. We will definitely return when the weather is cooler to enjoy some bites and their delicious wines. We also recommend making reservations since they are a premium location inside the resort, and seating may be limited. Ambiance 5/5 Service 4/5 Food 3.5/5"
"Hubby took me here for Valentines Day. Omgggg! I'm in love! From the door, the greetings was sweet. I was given a long stem rose. Our waiter was amazing and attentive. We had the prime steak as the main course omg that steak was made in heaven. Appetizer the hummus and pita bread delish!! The watermelon salad was sooo good. The watermelon was juicy, the balance with olives, feta and tomatoes, so good!! The drinks we had was the sail away! Awesome!! We were full and satisfied. The waiter told us there are breakfast options as well and some nights music is played, a whole vibe! So we will return. Thank you for an amazing experience."
"One of the best dining experiences we’ve had! Elidon took great care of us and made sure we were not only left satisfied with the food but also the service and experience. The chef came out to make sure all was good, will definitely be back"
"Sotogrande is located on the property of the newly renovated Pier 66. When you pull up, you can park with the hotel valet and then walk down a flight of stairs that wrap around the swimming pools. You end up in the back of the property where the marina is located. We sat outside on a beautiful cool afternoon for lunch looking out at amazing boats in the marina. The atmosphere is very clean and elegant. They were also kind enough to have heaters outside as it was unusually cool. Our waiter, Nesh, was very kind and had a great sense of humor. He helped us put together a nice meal where we could try several dishes to share. For the appetizer, we ordered the mixed mezze plate which is a sampler of items, including tzatziki, hummus and baba ghanoush along with delicious pita served warm. We then ordered the mixed vegetables which were fresh and delicious. We also shared the fig salad with candied walnuts and balsamic vinaigrette. You can add a protein to the salad - falafel, chicken or shrimp. Sotogrande is a wonderful place to sit, have a great meal and enjoy the view of the new, beautiful property at Pier 66."
"We had a wonderful experience last night. The food was excellent, and the view and overall ambiance made the evening truly special. Everything felt thoughtfully curated and high quality. Our server, Nash, was outstanding — attentive, friendly, and genuinely made us feel welcome throughout the night. His service really elevated the experience. The only small suggestion I’d offer is regarding the ouzo service. It was served in a standard water glass, but traditionally a tall, narrow glass really enhances both the aroma and the experience. It’s a minor detail, but one that would perfectly match the otherwise refined atmosphere. Overall, a fantastic restaurant that we’d happily return to and recommend."
"1st visit! We sat at the bar. The atmosphere is beautiful. Very upscale boho vibe. Our bartender was Christina. She was amazing. Her recommendations were very helpful. We loved the Greek wine she offered us a taste of. We ended up getting a bottle. She nailed it. The daily catch was triple tail! Rare but the absolute best! You have to try the RASPBERRY PASSION VACHERIN for dessert. Best dessert I have ever had. Will be back for sure. All staff engaged & were very friendly. Everyone was smiling."
"I have to start with the negative - like everything associated with the new Pier 66 complex, this place is very expensive, especially alcohol. $26 dollar martinis anyone? $15 Dollar draft beer? The food, however, was excellent. Our group ran through several items on the shared plate menu and all were outstanding. The meat skewers were particularly good. Pretty inside and there is a very nice outdoor seating area overlooking the marina to the north."
"You don't have to stay at Pier 66 to enjoy this restaurant. Are you bored with another steakhouse? Over the top so-called dining experience? You desire a uncomplicated simple dining experience? I would say this restaurant fits the bill. Our dinner consisted of appetizers and a salad. We came away satisfied. The old term is true, a picture is worth a thousand words, below you will find real photos off our dining experience. I would definitely visit here again. In fact look for me you might just see me here."
