It's not my favorite place for chicken Carbonara. Won't order that there again. Had 5 slices of deli chicken meat, I know because I checked. I think the meat tasted like the deli meat you get from the grocery store also. (See photo the chicken is located at the top of the plate.) The mushrooms were good but not what I was expecting when you read "backed mushrooms" you don't imagine portobello mushrooms in cream of mushroom sauce, which is more like a soup, smothered in cheese served with garlic bread. It was really good just wasn't expecting that for my dish. As someone native to Columbia, I had never eaten here before. It's not the greatest first impression.
Tortellini were okay. Their signature dessert is intensely yummy!

My husband and I had dinner together and we had the best waitress. Lindsey was attentive and very kind. I highly recommend requesting her. The food was great as always, of course.

The vibrant atmosphere compliments the food selections. We've been there twice recently with consistently excellent service. A wonderful place to meet friends for a meal and catching up.

RECOMMENDED. Have been going to Sophia's for several years and its one of our favorite places in Columbia.The food is really good and an eclectic variety. Solid variety of drinkable wines and the bar puts out quality cocktails.Service is generally very good particularly if you get the longstanding employees. College student wait staff varies from excellent to "don't bother."They are VERY sensitive to and accommodating of dietary restrictions, particularly food allergies. They are excellent in that regard!!!Dietary restrictions: They are VERY sensitive to and accommodating of dietary restrictions, particularly food allergies.

Quiet restaurant with good service. The steak sandwich was flavorful and a great size. The cocktail menu was pretty extensive.
I think the baked shrimp alfredo might be one of the worst dishes I've had. Tasteless and the fact that they use angel hair pasta makes the dish mushy. Three stars because my boyfriend enjoyed his dinner and the ceaser salad was ok.

Great brunch menu. A bit on the pricey side but it's absolutely worth it. Would probably be more reasonable if we didn't always get drinks and an appetizer but I can't help it. Need to try dinner here at some point but I'm sure it's also good.
