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

This was my second time at this restaurant and it did not disappoint! The ambiance is always A1 but this time they decorated for Christmas and it was so nice. I will say this is a very lively loud restaurant so if you’re looking for something quiet, this might not be the place for you. The service is always great & the food and drinks are also very delicious.

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.

Really enjoyed my birthday dinner at this wonderful restaurant. Ambiance was dark and intimate, food was delicious but the best was how friendly and attentive the staff was! We fully enjoyed the wine pairing and our wine guide was incredibly knowledgeable and absolutely made the experience memorable. Food was outstanding but it is the service that will make us go back!
