Sophia’s was wonderful and delicious as usual. It’s one of my favorite places. The food was very good and the wait staff are so friendly. The atmosphere Is nice and I love that they have outside seating. The only thing that could use an improvement was the volume of the music. It was too loud. I can’t wait to go back.
