Harden's says
A Soho branch of Sophie's Steakhouse in the former Moulin cinema, the venue also featured a late-night cocktail bar. And a new take-away kiosk has opened up next to the restaurant serving steak sarnies every lunchtime.
Harden's survey result

Summary
“For steaks and burgers, entertaining the kids, and before a match at Stamford Bridge”, the original Fulham Road branch of this steakhouse duo is still “buzzing and reliable, with good, well-cooked steaks”. By contrast, its new Soho outlet inspires very mixed feedback – some praise for “a good varied menu with lovely smokey flavours”, but also those who feel it’s become “VERY expensive…”, “seems to have lost its way…”, “wouldn’t hurry back”.
Summary
A new 120-cover Soho opening – in the renovated Moulin Theatre – looks set to raise the profile of this long-running steakhouse brand (which closed its Covent Garden branch this year). Founded in Fulham over 10 years ago, it serves decent steaks, but wins higher ratings for its “enthusiastic” service.
