" What a delightful evening at Sophie's Bistro! The ambiance instantly transported me to a quaint Parisian eatery—I particularly loved the decor. I started with the shrimp cocktail which was refreshing. My main was the coq au vin, served with hearty vegetables that melted perfectly into the sauce. The owner came by to check on us, which added a personal touch. The meal was topped off with a slice of chocolate cake that made my taste buds rejoice! Highly recommend this place to anyone!

The cocktails were expertly crafted, and our server was attentive without being intrusive. I recommend starting with the escargots, they were tender and flavored perfectly with garlic and parsley.
