Helen was a joy and the food was great! Would love for more of the desserts to be made in house, but otherwise it was all delicious. We will be back and spread the word!

The food was awful the worst. My dog wouldn't even eat the left overs. The hired musician was way too loud. Good but loud. Couldn't carry on a conversation. I will not go back or recommend it. I arrange events in restaurants for a living. I will let my so colleagues know to stay clear of that restaurant Sophie's.
Food was good but one of our hot entrees dishes was cold by the time we got it. Everything tasted good otherwise. Might be worth another stop but too many places to check out and probably won’t make it back to see.

This is a real 1 star review, Desi. I hope you treat your staff better than you treat your customers.
Sophie's Restaurant is amazing! Their food is excellent and the owners and staff are very attentive. They make a great effort in making sure you have a wonderful experience whether it's dinner or an event.
Great atmosphere and delicious food! Our waiter was personable and knew what to recommend to my liking. The food was served hot, the staff are attentive and fun! I’ve attended many events and private parties here, have gotten gift certificates for friends and wine bottles as a gift. It has become my go-to place for food, fun, dancing and networking. Thank you for your hospitality!
We got Seated for our reservation 45 minutes later and waited 30 minutes for a drink and waited another 30 minutes to get them. The only reason we stayed was for the band we follow. We’ll never go back.

We have an annual tradition of trying a new-to-us, local restaurant for my husband's birthday dinner each year. We made reservations at Sophie's for this year's dinner last night (2/2/25). We arrived about 10 minutes prior to our reservation time and walked into a dining room that was obviously set up for an event. We waited about 2 minutes before anyone acknowledged us, and when we said we had a reservation for 2, the staff looked quite confused. We were sat off in a corner, yet still having to watch and listen as the event got more crowded and noisy.
We ordered an appetizer, which was placed on our table with no interaction nor plates to allow us to partake. When we flagged a server over to request plates, she said, "We didn't know if we'd have enough with the event." Our water glasses were refilled once, only after we asked. My husband ordered the Hungarian Goulash, which was flavorful. I ordered the Dalmation Chicken Pasta, which was basically buttered noodles - there was very little chicken and 5 small spinach leaves.
The restaurant should not have accepted a reservation at a time when all their space and attention was going to be focused on a private event. Then, we received the bill and provided a card to pay. When it was brought back with the total, a convenience fee for using a card had been added - this practice was not made visible to patrons anywhere online or in the restaurant that we saw. But the bigger issue for us was that our party of 2 was charged an automatic 20% gratuity. The menu stated that parties of 6 or more would receive the 20% gratuity, but that did not apply to us.
After being sat in a corner, not being given plates or refills on drinks, and being unable to talk with one another due to the volume level from the event, having a 20% gratuity added to the bill ensured we will not be returning to this establishment.

The food was okay once we got at least one thing cooked as ordered. The service was friendly but forgetful. We had to ask for our drinks twice and only got one of them. We finally gave up.

The food was tasty, and the ingredients seemed to be fresh and high quality. Service was a bit slow but not too bad.
PS: The chairs have some crazy covers on them, which makes it uncomfortable to keep your feet up on the foot bar, which is super annoying when you are sitting at bar height tables.

I went on Valentine's and it was a wonderful experience. They were backed up but a server came and gave out free wine to everyone waiting (21+). They had laid out white table cloths and had a lively band, the atmosphere blew me away for a bar and grill. The only thing was the salmon on their Valentine's Day menu was $26 despite being the smallest serving I have ever seen in my entire life. I left only slightly less hungry than I entered.
The salmon and the shrimp pasta were excellently prepared and hot to the table. the service was spot on, not too much attention but enough to check on our needs.
waitress could have been a little more attentive. waited quite a while after fiid for condiments. fries were just bagged fries from a grocery store. avocado was ripe and hard. place was cluttered. I did however like the lighting and music and general quiet.
for the price it was absolutely not worth it
