We had a large party and were sat in the back room which happened to be infested with flies topped off with flouresent lighting and no music. The flies were so bad that the container of red peper flakes had about 50 flies swarming inside to point where my 2yr old pointed it out and said "Ewwww bugs!!" We told the waiter of the problem and he said they knew about it and spray once a week but essentially it is what it is. No visit from the manager or anything to make the situation right. I was probably one of the only people who truly enjoyed my meal. Everyone else mentioned the food quality or taste not being the same... or they had flies in their food. The new bathrooms only have 1 stall which is quite a downgrade from the last location. Our server was very nice overall though. Wont be back.

I visited here for the first time this past Friday evening. There is onsite parking which is…read moreconvenient. Although it was quite busy, we were able to be seated without a wait. The staff were helpful and showed good service. I ordered a glass of rose. It was ok. I ordered the mussels as an appetizer and I enjoyed them. I ordered the Salsa Rossa as my main dish with some tomato basil soup. The tomato basil soup was tasty. The pasta sauce was a bit bland. I was hoping for more flavor but it still tasted fine. I ordered the white chocolate bread pudding for dessert and I thought it was good. It was not too sweet which is how I prefer it. Overall, I had a good experience here and I would return.

I was intrigued enough to try it. I have to say that it was so good I didn't even miss the ricotta. My husband, the lasagna expert, really liked it, too, and we both really liked the sauce. We'll definitely be back.

Even at 6:00 on a Thursday evening it was nice to see quite a few tables occupied but it wasn't packed thankfully. The bar seats were mostly occupied with what looked like regulars so that's always a good sign too. We were seated at a table near the bar and so the bartender was also our waitress. She was also waiting on other tables in the area and for that reason I think she was a bit overextended. She was attentive but always rushing and really no personal service to speak of. We never did get bread plates and didn't have an opportunity to ask for any unfortunately. The breadsticks were brought out first, way before the meal, and weren't anything special. We each ate half of one and no more. My dinner came with a salad so that came out first. Tasty and fresh, and just an everyday side salad. Our meals arrived and at first glance, there just wasn't anything special about them. I'm not sure what I was expecting really, except with the price point I thought there would be a nicer presentation. The eggplant parmesan was cooked nicely but we were never offered any cheese and for lack of a better description, it was like something I would throw together at home, not a restaurant meal. My friend's food did not look appetizing on the plate, again, like a home cooked meal and not restaurant quality. The potato had been in the warming oven for a while it seemed, not fluffy any longer and the salmon was way overcooked and dry. I won't be giving this spot another go. Some folks here seem to like it but it's just not the quality I look for when dining out.

Iceberg lettuce Have to hunt for flake of actual crab Red wine vinaigrette They pretend to be Disney Land I expected and was told it was a mound of crab It was not a mound of crab And Don't get me started on the chicken à la grande. I expected a delicacy it was over cooked and dry as cardboard and oh my god the salt it was sooo salty, even the $14 angel hair pasta with garlic flavored (no bits of actual garlic) olive oil ( that's it olive oil and pasta) was so salty I could only have a few bites. We also got the oysters (a large and a small) which were mostly bread crumbs. The chicken cacciatore was good I had no problems with that but it's way overpriced for the quality and quantity (not much meat on the chicken). like I say when you go to Disney Land you go in knowing they taking you on a ride but you get an amazing experience - this was not an amazing experience - this is a whole new level of colossal rip off total was $487 (includes 3 glasses wine, a vodka martini and a baileys on the rocks). I think they charged us for four crab salads when we ordered two. the online menu price is $28 for one so I don't know how they came up with $112. I was just too much in shock to scrutinize it further I'm mad at myself for not realizing until later that $112 price for the crab was sus we were already in the car on the road when it dawned on me. Anyway there are so many better Italian restaurants that aren't a ripoff

I went to Sophie's with a date, it looked dimly lit from the outside but on the inside was…read morebrighter. We got the pesto burrata, Italian flatbread, and chicken parm. The burrata comes out: dreadful, awful, call the Vatican levels of bad. The pesto was the culprit, I know store bought vs house made pesto and this store bought stuff needs to be banished from the establishment. Tasted soapy and overpowered any flavor from the burrata. Then the entrees: the Italian flatbread was pretty good, after I panicked making sure pesto wasn't on it (it wasn't) I really enjoyed the charcuterie characters of this. Then my date tried her chicken parm and said "you have to try this". I take a bite expecting horror; I'm proven wildly wrong. That chicken Parmesan is the greatest in the city limits. I may not hear from the date again, but Sophie's heard from me again. I got their chicken parm once again less than a week later and they proved that lightning can strike twice. So let's unpack Sophie's. And Italian/seafood joint - their specialty? THEY KNOW HOW TO FRY. Their red gravy is pretty solid too. I think they should sway one way or the other, focus on what they are experts at, and make a massive name for themselves perfecting these dishes they are already great at. And please, throw out the pesto. Sophie's SQUEAKS by into 4 star with a 7.95/10. TAKE WHAT YALL ARE GOOD AT AND IMPROVE. I've been back already, I'll be back again. Cheers!
