Sorry Sophie's, although we usually rave about your place, last night was just uneven. Here's why, a $30 entree of soft shell crab should not be only one crab. You want to serve one crab, fine, then call that an appetizer. That was really disappointing. Thanks though for subbing pomme frites for the mashed at no extra charge, that was appreciated. And sorry, have to ding you guys that after letting you know the milk for the coffee had turned, the second attempt, was still bad. Come on, you can't have that. We still love Sophie's, we're just taking a break for now. Everyone is entitled to an off night.

Fantastic place! A large group was in town for a conference and Sophie's was wonderful in accommodating our large group of 20 on very short notice. The service was fantastic and the pasta was wonderful. I will absolutely return the next time I am in the area.

It's great to find a good place for lunch. Oh and even if you only want a burger, delicious!
Matthew
We had a wonderful meal at Sophie's. Outstanding service and food, terrific ambiance. Would recommend to anyone.

First time dining here. 3 course Price fixed menu for Father's Day was a good deal. Mussels in garlic butter sauce for 1st course tasty not too salty. A lot of vegetarian options. 2nd course portions were adequate; soft shell crab, leg of lamb, pork chop prepared with good flavors & sides. Desserts were ok

Always a joy to spend time at Sophie's with incredible food and amazing cocktails... comfort, class and style without the pretense. Genuinely good people providing great service in an irreplaceable gem of an establishment. Franklin Township is lucky indeed.

Such a hidden gem of a restaurant. Delicious food, great wine choices, attentive service. And the ambience and decor remind me of being in Paris. I'm never disappointed at Sophie's Bistro
Matt
Sophie's Bistro is one of our "goto" places. Always the best onion soup anyone will find anywhere, excellent service, a pleasant wine list and a talented barkeep. We had a variety of fish, chicken and beef dishes, all delicious, prepared as ordered and arriving at the table hot, as expected. We were heading out to a place where desserts were going to be given out, so we just had some coffees and cappuccinos. Don't miss Sophie's Bistro.

Our dinner at Sophie's was wonderful as usual. Sophie's is one of my wife's and my favorite restaurant's . We dine here at about once a month . We love the atmosphere and the food as well as the staff. We both had escargot for the appetizer , deliciously prepared and presented. ( Be sure to use some of the bread to enjoy the garlic butter sauce !! ). My wife had the Steak Fritis Vert on the menu and I had the Grilled Yellow Fin Tuna from the special's menu. Both dishes were prepared perfectly for us. We always tell our friends and family that if they want French Cuisine Sophie's Bistro in Somerset , NJ is the place to go.

It's been too long since we were last at Sophie's Bistro, and from the first few minutes I'm reminded of how welcoming the place is. The owner, Peter, greets us like old friends. My wife and I enjoy a cocktail at the bar, expertly made by Matt as we wait for the rest of our party. Once seated, we order up, never rushed. As for the food, to me it's French comfort food, nothing pretentious, just well prepared and delicious. We order the escargots, and mussels in white wine sauce to share. Dipping the perfect bread in the escargots garlic and oil, and the mussels white wine sauce is the best. Could feast on that alone. For dinner, our friends each order the pan seared salmon, my wife had the pork loin, all perfectly cooked. Any opportunity for duck, and I go for it with a glass of cabernet and was not disappointed. The service was excellent throughout. Enjoyable. Cheers!
Excellent French Bistro. Very good service, very good Bistro food. Frequent menu events.
Held a celebration for six, everyone enjoyed the evening.

Sophie's is always dependable to be a great meal! French onion soup is excellent! Everyone at our table thoroughly enjoyed their meals....mussels special, salmon, cow au vin, or Margret. Know we'll be back!

The service was great. The food was delicious and it is the first time I wished the dance floor was open. Thank you for your wonderful hospitality and the great care you gave my family. I have been living on the west coast it is nice to be reminded of the BEST COAST. The wine you recommended was great.
