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

    Very nice upscale seafood restaurant in the heart of New Brunswick. The service was great, the food was delicious. A little pricey but worth it. And there's a parking deck right across the street which was very convenient. We plan to return with friends.

    If you are heading into New Brunswick for a show, this is a great place for dinner. I took my 17 year old daughter out for her birthday and we had a 5pm (WED) restaurant reservation. and found that we were, at that time, the only diners in the place (others were at the bar). The appetizer of bruschetta was really fresh. She had the Caprese salad which was large by my eyes and I had the Italian chicken soup which I found to be meaty and tasty. The creamy pesto gnocchi was very appealing to the nose and my daughter loved it. I had the Bolognese pappardelle with fresh ricotta. Very tasty and just the right portion. We split a cannoli order for dessert. Service was friendly. Prices are about normal for what you you pay for a sit down dinner in the theater district of New Brunswick. Parking garage close by (sorry no validation). Theaters are about a 2-block walk.
