Price: Expensive
• French • New Brunswick
Booked 3 times today
We want Sophie's to be a place where one could have a good, hearty meal (comfort food), simple and unpretentious, at a fair price. Our goal is to produce an atmosphere where people can come for lunch, a full dinner, a late snack, a glass of wine or a big cup of coffee and feel comfortable and at home. Our menu is diverse enough for everyone, yet simple enough so the average person will not get overwhelmed with numerous menu choices and complications. Our basic premise is to provide quality food and good service at a fair price in an unpretentious atmosphere. The décor is modeled after classic French Bistros. French country antiques, large open shuttered windows, dark woods, soft pastel colors and walls covered with family pictures make Sophie's an intimate cozy environment

    Truly Delightful Experience at Deccan Spice Lounge. I recently had the pleasure of spending some time in the lounge room at Deccan Spice , and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. The ambiance of the room is elegant and welcoming, making it the perfect place to relax and unwind. The two large televisions add a modern touch, allowing guests to enjoy entertainment while sipping on expertly crafted drinks.. The service was outstanding, with Sagar being particularly attentive and ensuring that all our needs were met with a smile. His promptness and professionalism really enhanced our visit.. The food was absolutely delicious, a testament to the high standards upheld by the restaurant. Every dish was flavorful and beautifully presented, making the entire experience even more memorable. Overall, the lounge room at Deccan Spice provides a perfect combination of comfort, quality, and service.

    We were greeted warmly, even though the restaurant was quite busy. The food selections were mostly pizza and burgers and salads, but there were some plated lunches/dinners. We enjoyed talking with our friends during the meal. The food was well prepared.
