Best Lunch Restaurants in South Plainfield

We have been going to Sophie's Bistro in Somerset, NJ since 2002 when it opened. In all that time, the superb quality of the food has been totally consistent, a remarkable achievement. The menu offers a rich assortment of traditional French dishes, each one truly excellent. The setting inside is lovely, too, and the service and staff could not be better.

food and service the best!!!! venison outrageous victor and konstantin have the right formula for a great rest.

Really enjoyed my birthday dinner at this wonderful restaurant. Ambiance was dark and intimate, food was delicious but the best was how friendly and attentive the staff was! We fully enjoyed the wine pairing and our wine guide was incredibly knowledgeable and absolutely made the experience memorable. Food was outstanding but it is the service that will make us go back!

On arrival, our party was quickly seated. A server soon arrived to fill our water glasses and answer a question Our waiter, Gabe was attentive and competent. Our orders were quickly filled. The only complaint was that nearby parties were louder than we would have liked. As the meal wore on, those groups left and conversation was easier. My husband and I shared the avocado salad and shrimp enchiladas. The salad was excellent - well flavored with both avocado and pineapple as part of the salad. The enchiladas were also of very good flavor and ingredients. My son enjoyed his chicken enchilada, while his young son opted for the barbacoa tacos. My mother-in-law chose the chicken and cheese enchilada. We also added an order of rice and beans that we shared. Everything was well-prepared and flavored, using quality ingredients and preparation. We ended with a couple of orders of Churros. Those came with both a chocolate and a honey sauce for dipping. They were a perfect end to an excellent meal. In addition to the food quality, I also noted the cleanliness of both the dining room and restroom, making this a first-rate experience on multiple levels. It was definitely worth the trip and is a stop I can highly recommend. Kudos to Meximodo!
