Four of us ate dinner at Sopra. This was our second time there. We ordered the penne with shrimp, scallops, gnocchi with chicken, and one of their large salads. All the dishes were very good. We accompanied them with a nice Spanish red wine. We all had plenty to eat, even with no appetizers or dessert. Service was also very... More

Ordered the duck which was not described on the menu as being brined. It tasted bloated, salty and flavorless. When asked how food was and told, waitress smiled, walked away, and did not offer to replace dish. Service was mediocre: empty bread and dirty bread dishes were not removed from table. Used and dirty silverware was not replaced between courses.... More

We have eaten at Sopra a few times as the selection of "upscale" restaurants in Lake Geneva is a bit limited. We have enjoyed our melas very much- portion size can be large in some cases. (Like the farfalle pasta with peas and ham- lots of pasta!) The gnocchi is good tasty and my husband has enjoyed the short ribs... More

The scallops are wonderful, the wine was great and the atmosphere was prefect for a dinner with friends.

We wanted a fancy dinner to celebrate getting married the night before. Our hotel staff recommended Sopra. The food was good, but the staff was a little over the top. I waitor seemed like he was trying to act snoody to make the resturaunt seem extra fancy. He would have an accent when talking with us and then we could... More

Second time at this restaurant; really liked it the first time, but not so much for this try. Food is good, but pricey. Will say the soup was excellent. Unfortunately, our waitress was distracted(?). Place was relatively empty, but we waited too long for her appearance between courses. Took forever to get dessert and once received, the pie was cold!... More

I live in Lake Geneva and have been to every place in the entire area. After finally eating here a few weeks ago, we left wondering why we never tried it before! Hands down the BEST staff, food, drinks. If you are looking for fine dining atmosphere with amazing food - Sopra is the place. Our new favorite restaurant! Can't... More

A friend and I stopped here for dinner on a Friday evening after just getting in to town. This is a cute little restaurant right on main street. The food was excellent--we both had pastas (I think they may have both been homemade noodles) and a glass of wine. Service was great. Highly recommend if you are in the area.

I planned a surprise get away for my wife. I spent hours on the internet reviewing restaurants and finally chose Sopra. Our server, Cheryl, was pleasant, knowledgable, accommodating and attentive. We ordered seared octopus and mussels for appetizers. We also ordered the blackened salmon (on special, I think) and the scallops with a brie cream sauce. We finished off with... More
