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

    We've dined at Sophie's Bistro for many years, and it's a hidden treasure that everyone should discover and enjoy. Matt can't make a bad cocktail even if he tried. His skills are unmatched! The staff is amazing, and the owner, Peter, treated my hubby and me with two sweet shots that went down really smooth! Our Valentine’s Day dinner at Sophie's will be a memorable one. Thank you!

    Beer was superb. Food was good. Service was very friendly but a little slow. Maybe because of the Valentine’s Day rush. A good place for a drink and meal

    We had an amazing experience at Victoria's and on Valentine's Day no less. We had an 8pm reservation and were seated within 10-15 minutes of 8 o'clock. The host and management staff were extremely kind and courteous even though the restaurant was packed to capacity. Our server Sarah was pleasant and cheerful as well as offered excellent suggestions. I had the eggplant which was amazing and my GF had the filet mignon which was cooked to medium rare perfectly. Overall it was a very pleasant experience with great ambiance and definitely worth the price and wait. We will definitely be back! If you're looking for a nice dinner before a show this is the place to go!

    Excellent service. Food was decent. Limited vegetarian main entree options is reason why rating is not higher.
