    Been here a few times and always order the same items. The fried chicken appetizer and pork belly entree has been stellar each time. My husband gets the coulotte steak each time and complains to me every time that it's not barely warm. For a $40 entree, that's disappointing. Doubt he's game to go to Sophon again. Lovely restaurant and great service though

    First time eating here with a friend. We both ordered the chicken pot pie at $ 24. Portion was large for a lunch, but we at it all. Good amount of white and dark meat chicken in traditional sauce, topped and baked with a round of puff pastry. Quiet, reminded me of an older time diner, but larger. Affable service, tasty food, and large portions added up to a successful lunch. There were also salads and sandwiches, but we chose a hot item. At $24, I feel that is a bit steep despite it being tasty. At $18, we’d have declared it a newly-found meeting place for lunch.
