    Very friendly restaurant; almost, but not quite, a "cozy" atmosphere. It was, after all, Valentines Day -- and my wife's birthday as well -- so the tables were filled when we arrived. Normal levels of conversation. We'll be returning soon.

    Sophia and her staff always make you feel welcome. The service and food are great and it’s always a fun atmosphere to catch up with family and friends over a BYOB of wine.

    We never go out for dinner on Valentine’s Day because restaurants are always so crazy. I’m SO glad we made an exception and went to Sophia’s for Valentine’s Day this year. We never felt rushed, the courses were perfectly paced for a relaxing dinner and everything had the Sophia delicious homemade touch. Sophia is a superwoman, managing every detail with ease and grace, making you feel like family.
