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

    Christmas Eve dinner for the Feast of Seven Fishes. Four course fixed price meal was worth every penny. The restaurant was beautifully decorated, our server Edgar and his team were outstanding, and the food was incredible. The Miracle Bar cocktails were something special. Our favorite restaurant never disappoints.

    The food and service were excellent. My only disappointment was that they tried to give us a table downstairs, when I reserved the main dining room. We ended up at a table with our back to the front aisle-heavy traffic area. I made this reservation on 11/16/24, so there was no excuse for this inconvenience. Because the overall dining experience was so good, I will definitely be back !

    Great place good food and service just doing the winter months a little cold inside maybe better heat management would help a great deal. So maybe the hot soup offer would not jump out at you as much and the first thing to order on the menu.

    We were greeted warmly, even though the restaurant was quite busy. The food selections were mostly pizza and burgers and salads, but there were some plated lunches/dinners. We enjoyed talking with our friends during the meal. The food was well prepared.
