    Crab slider special was good but we should have asked the price before ordering.

    Michele, I'm truly sorry to see your 3 star review based on price. We do our very best to provide the highest quality products and freshest ingredients. Unfortunately, that comes at a cost. Maybe one day you'll give us another try. Take care and thank you for coming in. Mark-GM

    We ate at Sophie’s today on busy Black Friday and they were making it happen. Mike our server was fantastic! The hostess (did not get her name) was excellent! My husband had salmon burger and I had wedge and Brussels.
