About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
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

    We tried it for the first time and was so very pleased! A great place with nice energy, not fancy but that’s the beauty of it. Food was delicious! Will definitely go back!

    This place has a relaxed atmosphere and very friendly and helpful staff. I had boeuf bourguignon pot pie, which was served in a choux pastry. The piping hot baguette was the perfect accompaniment to the stew. The profiteroles dessert was also great, with the light airy pastry and the (french?) vanilla ice cream. The passion fruit iced tea was nice, too. I would come back to try the other items in the menu.

    Food was mediocre at best. Both of our Steak au Poivre were overpriced for 2 small medallions and to make it worse, medium-rare temperature came out medium-well to well-done. Any decent kitchen should be able to get the temperature correct! The potatoes au gratin were tasteless and the grilled tomatoes cold. The waitress did ask if we wanted replacements for the medallions. We will not be returning.

    this was our first time here and it was absolutely wonderful. if this restaurant was closer to verona, we'd be here every weekend! the food and service were outstanding. we had the country pate and onion soup for apps, steak frites and lamb shank for entrees, creme brûlée and espresso for dessert. oh, and the manhattan and kir royale were perfect before dinner drinks. even the bread was delicious!

    Sophie's didn't live up to the ratings posted by other reviewers for us. The French onion soup was very good, but beyond that, we were disappointed. The menu offered many items that would appeal to us, but the preparation simply didn't live up to our expectations.
