Had lunch with my old college roommate. The service was excellent, and the food was good with lots of healthy choices. THe waitress was very responsive and we were encouraged to sit and talk as long as we wanted. It was perfect. I'm going to go back and take my husband. It's a great find.

Lunch at Sophie's takes me back to the 60's at Hudson's at Eastland Mall with my Grandmother, Mother, and siblings; 70's and 80's at Oakland Mall in Madison Heights with my girlfriends; and the 2010's with my Dad at Twelve Oaks Mall in Novi, MI! It waa so wonderful to shop and then have a leisurely lunch! Highly recommend Sophie's to recapture those memories with an updated menu and excellent service! (Wish Sophie's was open later for at least Happy Hour!)
