💘 Valentine’s Prix Fixe: A Culinary Cry for Help Nothing says romance like a $100+ commitment to regret. Course 1: Shrimp Cocktail Because when I think “intimate evening,” I think cold shrimp and ketchup-adjacent sauce. Or lobster bisque with tomato tart — bold move serving tomatoes in two emotional support formats. Very Paris. If Paris was inside a Marriott conference room. Course 2: Arugula Salad Ah yes. Spicy lawn clippings with cranberries. Bonjour, bagged lettuce. Main Course: Ravioli, Short Rib & Duck The duck had clearly done something wrong in a past life. It was cooked with the intensity of unresolved anger. Texture? Brick with a hint of regret. The short rib arrived with four broccoli florets — FOUR. Not five. Not a generous handful. Four disciplined soldiers of disappointment. Dessert: Chocolate mousse and cheesecake. Arrived 30 minutes later. Nothing says passion like watching your love slowly metabolize into impatience. Atmosphere Bonus: Wait staff in transparent baby doll dresses. Because when I’m carving into structural duck, I want to feel like I’m in a Valentine’s-themed fever dream

Great place for dating. From the point of view of a home chef, their good quality surprised me. Out of the things we ordered, especially recommend onion soup (5/5) & honey mustard salmon (best salmon I’ve ever had 5/5). Escargot (4.5/5), steak fries (4/5), and crème brûlée (4.5/5) are also very good, well worth the price.

I recently went to Sophie’s Bistro for Brunch and they did not disappoint! A bonus is the friendly atmosphere (very adult like), very clean tables and super kind Team! Not to mention, the food was phenomenal, I will definitely be back!
