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

    Reservations were easy to make on Open Table, thank you to the hostess that was able to push back reservations back by 30 minutes when I called last week. It made the day stress free. Easy parking. very cosmopolitan interior and non pretentious high quality drinks and food. I hate Caesar salad, but loved this one. Lambchops very tasty. Bacon appetizer was a great delicious table add on. Ice cream slider and frosty cheesecake so worth the calories. Managers Josh and Bechir came to check on each and every table. Charlene, our server, kept the food and drinks flowing without us feeling rushed, followed up with us without hovering...just made our experience even better.

    Christmas Eve dinner was a wonderful experience. The prix fixe menu have a variety of options for everybody including something for the vegetarian in our group. Everything was delicious from the appetizers to the entrées and desserts. I really enjoyed the fried Brie appetizer and the dessert crepe. They have a wonderful selection of cocktails and wines. I had a dry white that was lovely.

    Good spot for brunch in New Brunswick - service was great: attentive but allowed us to sit and visit without chasing us out. Creative menu. Recommend the smoked salmon starter and the duck (which I got topped on the kale salad) was yummy.
