Sophia's was busy and a little noisy, but the service was great and the food came out faster than expected. Portions and quality were both good. Nice presentation too.

Was not impressed steak was super over done, and had to power through it, could tell by looking at it when it came out it was charred, so the quality control was lacking. Also had ravioli that tasted reheated, edges of noodles were hard and inedible. Had bacon wrapped scallops— they were OKAY at best. Maybe flash fried? Scallops were unevenly heated, and bacon was VERY crispy and hot.. For the cost, it was not worth it. The restaurant was clean , and service was good. But I would personally not come back here .

I moved here from St Louis about 4 years ago ago. Sophia’s was one of my fav. Places to dine. When the location changed, i was curious to see what is the new location is like. First time i went was must’ve been closer to their move to this new location. I was not impressed, the atmosphere was totally different, from a nice dinner venue to a very casual and far from my expectations.
However, i went for lunch today. Much better setup, the stuff and food more like it use to be. I know most people like to go out with their flip flops and very casual clothing and now i know why they had to make a change. This is a college town and most people like casual life. So, for what’s worth, i am glad that the dining area is a bit better than it was!!

I was disappointed personally. For a $20+ dollar chicken dish I would expect they’re grilling chicken rather than using precooked frozen strips. Folks liked it because the portions were big and they didn’t care that the food came out of a freezer, so we’ll give this 3*. Quality is on par with Olive Garden and other chains with slightly nicer atmosphere.

My family and I ate here and several of us ordered steaks. Two of us ordered medium rare and the other two ordered medium or higher. I noticed my steak that was supposed to be medium rare was overcooked. I looked at the plate of the other person at my table who ordered the same steak and noticed theirs was cooked closer to what I expected. The same scenario happened between the other two people eating steak. By the time we realized what happened it was too late to switch plates. Moral of the story: check your steak before digging in or don’t go out to eat with anyone who orders their steak above medium rare. The service was great, though. 4 stars because switching steaks with very different temp orders is a bummer especially with the price of beef.

My wife and I had a late lunch there today and Riley who was taking care of the bar, also took care of our table. We had not eaten there since they moved to the new location. We started with the Calamari and we had just a few minutes to chat after we finished and our meals were brough to us. My wife had the Ravioli Aragosta and I had the spicy Chicken and Sausage. The meals looked great and tasted even better. The fresh bread that was brought to the table was perfect! Riley took care of all of our needs, and we never felt rushed. I definitely recommend this place and hope to return soon.
There for parents weekend and all hands were on deck and hustling. Nice to see.

Sophia’s is an excellent choice when looking for dining options in Columbia. The pasta dishes are excellent, and the dessert options are wonderful, as well. I highly recommend Sophia’s as a place for dinner in Combia.

The restaurant is in a warehouse type building but a lot of effort has been put into giving it a cozy feel. Once more people discover how good the food is, the place should fill up and be more appealing. The food was delicious, portions large, and service friendly and efficient. We were just passing through and if we ever come back to the area, we will hope to dine there again.
Love this place! Food was really good. Server was great and made sure we were never wanting. We got the sausage nachos (sans olives) that were great. Chicken Medaga is a long time favorite and didn't disappoint. The salmon dishes was ok; fishy, but we're in the mid-west not on the coast. Some thought could be given to seating arrangements. We had a reservation for 5 and when we showed up, it was clear that a couple of couples had been seated at the big six top booths before we arrived (to be clear we showed up at 10 minutes before reservation), then we had to wait six minutes past reservation for them to push tables together.

Service was great and the food was delicious. The meatballs and crab cakes were great and the ravioli is amazing! Melinda’s spinach salad with the orange ginger dressing was great! Now time for a nap!
The food was good and the service was excellent. Also, the prices are reasonable and the portions are more than adequate.

We had the seafood brie crostini appetizer. They were huge. So delicious. Coming back this week into town and can't wait to go back to Sophia's. The seafood ravioli with a delicious cream sauce and mushrooms was a favorite. Marie was pleasant and attentive. Nice server. Large spacious atmosphere with happy art decor. large outdoor patio when weather is cooler.
