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

If you are seeking not just a great meal, but a great dining experience, you need look no further than Luca’s Ristorante Somerset. Tucked away on Rt. 27 between Princeton and New Brunswick, Luca’s Somerset is an oasis of authentic regional Italian cuisine. Offering modern adaptations of traditional dishes from Ischia, here you can enjoy hand-cut ravioli stuffed with Chef Andrea’s latest mouth-watering combinations, a selection of fish entrees so fresh that they evoke the Mediterranean Sea, or a filet of such quality that it is paralleled only by the accoutrement that accompany it. Our dining room décor is uniquely Ischitana, and goes to show that here at Luca’s Somerset, we understand that the difference is in the details. When you are done with it all, take in the cozy setting with a delicious dessert made from scratch, and the perfect cup of locally micro-roasted espresso or cappuccino. So please, be our guest.

    Scratch Kitchen is a welcomed addition to the sometimes lackluster restaurants in the Jersey Shore area. At Scratch they show a respect for their diners from their exemplary service, table settings, written specials and presentation to the quality of the food served. It is also very nice to have a crusty bread service to accompany a meal that by its nature encourages “dipping”. The meal I enjoyed was the cod with cannellini beans along with an order of well seasoned potatoes. While cod can sometimes be bland, this dish was filled with delicious flavors. I highly recommend this restaurant and will be sure to reserve when I return from Charleston SC in the near future.

    Dolly Varden was the PERFECT cocktail spot for a birthday get-together I had before a show:) The staff was so nice and attentive to my larger party of 14, and the vibe of the place and decor made it feel like a Christmas cabin getaway. Every drink we had was amazing and the food was wonderful as well! Will surely be back!

    We have been going to Sophie's Bistro in Somerset, NJ since 2002 when it opened. In all that time, the superb quality of the food has been totally consistent, a remarkable achievement. The menu offers a rich assortment of traditional French dishes, each one truly excellent. The setting inside is lovely, too, and the service and staff could not be better.
