• French • New Brunswick
Booked 8 times today
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

    The best steakhouse in NJ and none other comes even a close second in comparison. The Boss in his RED Steakhouse 85 logo shirt, the staff simply amazing. Went with two kids and 6 adults and they treated us with so much patience with my allergies to seafood and my wife being a person who does not eat read meat ( go figure). The food you ask? OMG the bacon, the Calamari ( wife and friends who had it) and the Shrimp ( wife told me) just delicious and cooked to perfection along with the 40 Oz porterhouse ( medium) and my wife’s Veg Risotto layered with Cilantro Shrimp. Fabulassimo. Have lost count how many times I have been there but if you are in NJ, heck if are in NYC, this is where you should be coming if you like the Tomahawk, the Ribeye and baby the Porterhouse. Give you 400 out of 100. ❤️🎉🤗🎈🎂🥃👏🦌🎅 merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and Happy New 2025 to the staff and personnel of Steakhouse 85.

    Celebrating a milestone birthday here was definitely the right choice. Everything was sensational! Their presentation and service were top notch. They did not miss a beat and surprised me with a signed birthday card, birthday song along with flare. Truthfully made me feel like a kid again!!! Loved the tableside bacon torching and diverse menu offerings. Would highly recommend spending your special evening there as well. High end feel and down to earth hospitality, a fabulous combination.

    Excellent service. Food was decent. Limited vegetarian main entree options is reason why rating is not higher.
