We want Sophie's to be a place where one could have a good, hearty meal (comfort food), simple and unpretentious, at a fair price. Our goal is to produce an atmosphere where people can come for lunch, a full dinner, a late snack, a glass of wine or a big cup of coffee and feel comfortable and at home. Our menu is diverse enough for everyone, yet simple enough so the average person will not get overwhelmed with numerous menu choices and complications. Our basic premise is to provide quality food and good service at a fair price in an unpretentious atmosphere. The décor is modeled after classic French Bistros. French country antiques, large open shuttered windows, dark woods, soft pastel colors and walls covered with family pictures make Sophie's an intimate cozy environment

    We have been celebrating Valentine Day here for years. The food and staff are always outstanding. The chef is a genius. From the bread basket to the desert to the fancy sparkling waters this place never disappoints. The lobster dish alone is worth a trip here.

    PERFECT...The staff went out of their way to present an outstanding evening. Very warm and friendly greeting upon arrival. Rose petals on the table as well as a small vase with a rose. Staff came right over and poured a complimentary sparkling wine. The service was outstanding. They never rush you in this restaurant. Live entertainment was great in the background. As always the food was very good. Ownership was present to make sure everything was going smoothly. Outstanding evening. I highly recommend this restaurant. We are looking forward to their upcoming "Steakhouse Wine Dinner". Thanks !

    I enjoyed and would return. I would recommend that they train their wait staff better. Our server was unable to provide any information about any dish we inquired about, beyond standard platitudes and “I haven’t tried it.” We always enjoy interacting with wait staff and when they’re good, like the cheesemongers at DiBruno’s, they take a good experience and elevate it to the sublime
