We never go out for dinner on Valentine’s Day because restaurants are always so crazy. I’m SO glad we made an exception and went to Sophia’s for Valentine’s Day this year. We never felt rushed, the courses were perfectly paced for a relaxing dinner and everything had the Sophia delicious homemade touch. Sophia is a superwoman, managing every detail with ease and grace, making you feel like family.
