I've never eaten something here I didn't like. Love the seasonal options and the rotating menu. You can tell they source the highest quality ingredients and take care in preparation of the food. I love their haute takes on things you wouldn't expect - fancy meatloaf? I promise, it's the best! Atmosphere is wonderful, I cannot rave enough about this place and tell everyone I know they have to try it. You'll be hooked!

Sovereign has become a go to meet up spot when we are in town. We stopped by on New Year’s Day and it was a lovely time. Our server Maddie was awesome! She was very friendly and knew the menu and specials when we had questions! We ordered the smash burner and the hash. Both were delicious. The portion sizes were great, we brought an entire meal home! Also, shout out to the fun mugs. We all laughed at the lure behind the servers face on the coffee mugs. Overall, the food, service, and experience were great! Looking forward to stopping in again when we are back in down!

Sovereign was the perfect venue for my birthday celebration, and I can’t thank Steven and his team enough for making it such an incredible experience. From the moment we arrived, the elegant atmosphere set the tone for a truly special evening. The sophisticated decor, warm lighting, and overall ambiance made the space feel both luxurious and inviting—exactly what I had envisioned for the night. The food was absolutely spectacular. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor, impressing every guest at our table. From appetizers to desserts, the quality and attention to detail were evident in every bite. It was truly a dining experience to remember. Even with the restaurant being packed, the service was impeccable. Both servers were incredibly attentive, ensuring that we were well taken care of throughout the evening. They managed to balance efficiency with genuine hospitality, making sure we never felt rushed while still anticipating our needs. Their attentiveness played a huge role in making the night a success. Steven and his team went above and beyond to create a seamless and memorable experience, and I couldn’t be more grateful. If you’re looking for a venue to host a special event, I highly recommend Sovereign—it’s the perfect combination of elegance, exceptional food, and outstanding service!

Eclectic farm to table exceptional culinary creations. Accessible, exceptional, and very reasonable price points. When Sovereign moved from across the street, I was a bit hesitant, but we do like the new space. The only reason I’m giving four stars for the atmosphere is that Sovereign does have three flat screen tv’s, and I believe this takes away from the cutting edge, eclectic, elevated alternive atmosphere. My wife and I understand, though, likely for the reasoning of having these televisions to appeal to others and for specific contextual reasons. We love the well appointed alternative music playing. As we are about to depart we’re listening to the Pet Shop Boys. Awesome. When we got here, it was the Cure.

Walked in on Valentine’s Day to have a great experience. Ambiance is unique and moody especially for Plainfield. Drinks were fabulous, food was delicious! Tacos and brussel sprouts are definitely a must. Our server, Camille, was very knowledgeable, helpful, and attentive. She helped us pick out cocktails and food, we never felt rushed even though the restaurant was full. Overall the staff was kind, the energy was great. We will definitely be back!

Our party of 6 walked in at 5:30 pm on a Saturday and were sat right away. The wait staff worked smoothly together. The food was scrumptious, especially The Wiccan Chicken and the Paradise by the Dashboard Light. Really enjoyed the ambience of the restaurant. Will definitely return.

Definitely has amazing food. We went there for the 1st time and they had the Cinco de Mayo special menu. Didn't disappoint one bit! Super flavorful food and the portions were really good. We have the pork shank and the meat just fell off the bone! So delicious! We also had the skirt steak with chile relleno and that was really good as well. Super tender and delicious. Definitely will go back to try their other menu items. Reasonable prices as well, not expensive at all. We took our kids and they even had a kids menu with chicken tenders, Mac & cheese, grilled cheese and other stuff. Staff was super nice and friendly to us. Definitely recommend this restaurant!

Came into Sovereign on a Saturday night with 3 buddies. Got Sat right away and waitress was over quickly to take our drink order. Vibe is nice but a bit dark for a guys night. Would be a great place for a date night. We all had the Burger and it was amazing. Everything you look for in a good burger. Cheesy, good char and the special sauce and grilled onions take it over the top. Bourbon menu is substantial and was a pleasant surprise. Will definitely be back to try more of the menu!

What an amazing experience of wonderful culinary talent and mixologist. The menu for food and drinks change with seasons from what they say, and the drinks in the food items were really amazing. The staff were very attentive and knowledgeable on the drinks and the food. That helped us to decide what to drink and eat and they had a really good sense of what we wanted. Thank you to our servers Alexis and Maddie.
