    Sophie's at Saks Fifth Avenue in Sarasota offers a special and intimate dining experience! Mike does a great job overseeing every aspect of their restaurant operations and Dino helped us have a wonderful dining experience. He helped us with our every request. The Avenue Burger is excellent and not to be underestimated. If you are looking for a special and memorable dining experience at UTC this is the place to go. We love it and visit Sophie's often!

    Met a friend from high school at Sophie’s for lunch. We had not seen each other for several years. Our server was so great, and checked on us regularly but not overly bothersome. We were essentially left undisturbed for 2+ hours so we could catch up on events over the past few years. The lunch entrees were delicious, and the dessert was truly decadent! Sophie’s is an exceptional restaurant, and we’ll be back soon.

    Always a good choice for lunch. One slip up - left the cheese off my steak sandwich but everything else was fine!
