I agree with the above reviewer that the food at Sophie's is good but what I didn't like was the service and atmosphere. At the time I visited this restaurant about a year ago, everything was served a la carte and in its own plate or little pan and often sitting in butcher-like paper. I didn't find this cute but rather annoying. My dining partner had a leg injury and since one has to keep going up to the counter to get the various items ordered as they are ready, I had to keep getting up and down. I felt like I worked there!

This new restaurant, which has taken over the old "Clown Alley" space on Columbus Ave., has excellent food and friendly service. The service, unfortunately, is a bit slow, but hopefully that will improve with time. The food, on the other hand, is impeccable. Chef Mateo Granados, formerly the lunchtime chef at 42 Degrees, cranks out some great entres like fried catfish, fresh sausage sandwiches, various grilled fish, etc .... All are made with a great blend of seasonings. A word of advice: if you are hungry, order an entre along with a side dish (the mashed potatoes and whole roasted baby potatoes are great!).
