    We had dinner at Sofia’s with our two Grandchildren last evening. Irene was our server and she is so pleasant and personable! She also is an excellent server making sure all of us including the 6 and 3 year old had everything we needed. We enjoyed the delicious flat bread of the day which was a Margarita with meatballs! The kids also enjoyed the flat bread. The kids had penne pasta with tomato sauce and we got an order of meatballs to add to their pasta. I had the French Onion soup - delicious. My husband has the Ahi Tuna salad which is so flavorful! We ended the meal with a couple of Limoncello Flutes, a Baklava and rice pudding! All delicious. A great dinner! Thank you!
