Best Casual Restaurants in South Plainfield

We have been going to Sophie's Bistro in Somerset, NJ since 2002 when it opened. In all that time, the superb quality of the food has been totally consistent, a remarkable achievement. The menu offers a rich assortment of traditional French dishes, each one truly excellent. The setting inside is lovely, too, and the service and staff could not be better.

We were four at 5pm for a pre-show dinner. We started at the bar for a pre-dinner cocktails that were delicious and a very generous pour! The appetizers and mains were really good, and the service was fantastic! This was our first visit to Victoria's Tratta Italiano, but it will not be our last.

I went there for lunch on a Saturday. The place was mostly empty, the reservations were not required. I had the New England clam chowder and it was one of the best i ever had. I also had a salad with shrimp. The shrimp were cooked perfectly, not overcooked like many places. My dining companion had the chicken tenders with fries. She is not much of a seafood eater. She said the chicken lacked seasoning and the fries tasted like they were cooked in old oil. My companion has fast food restaurant experience from her teenage years. I would go back to try the big seafood boils they offer. A table nearby to ours ordered a boil and it smelled amazing.

Food and service were fine but I was disappointed that the brussel sprouts have been removed from the menu. Used to love them.

really nice food & drinks enjoy going there taking friends & family visiting us out of state as well as out of country they also love the restaurant
