We want Sophie's to be a place where one could have a good, hearty meal (comfort food), simple and unpretentious, at a fair price. Our goal is to produce an atmosphere where people can come for lunch, a full dinner, a late snack, a glass of wine or a big cup of coffee and feel comfortable and at home. Our menu is diverse enough for everyone, yet simple enough so the average person will not get overwhelmed with numerous menu choices and complications. Our basic premise is to provide quality food and good service at a fair price in an unpretentious atmosphere. The décor is modeled after classic French Bistros. French country antiques, large open shuttered windows, dark woods, soft pastel colors and walls covered with family pictures make Sophie's an intimate cozy environment

    This was our first time at 1958 Cuban Cuisine and I can honestly say that we will go back. The atmosphere and people were warm and welcoming. The food was excellent. We started with avocado stuffed with oxtail, ropa vieja empanadas, and shrimp in garlic sauce. These were a great start to an awesome meal. For entrees, we had ropa vieja, vaca frita, and boliche mechado. We had congri, tostones, and mixed vegetables as our sides. All of the dishes were so flavorful and the meat was tender. For dessert, we shared flan, rice pudding, and churros stuffed with chocolate. From start to finish, the meal was an A+. We can’t wait to return.

    Really amazing spot. Beautifully decorated, cocktaiks were nicely crafted and service was great. The food came out very quickly, so keep in mind in case you are still finishing an appetizer or looking for a few minutes between courses.
