| - **A taste of fine fusionist dining with a wonderful staff in a relaxing, intimate space**
Chez Sophie is housed what could have easily been an old hardware or antique store. As you walk in, you see the address, 1974, emblazoned boldly on a building that was probably built thereabouts.
The dining hall is narrow and the tables are large around, giving the inside of the restaurant a sense of space while also being intimate.
The menu is has a range of different types of meals, which include seafood, meat, and vegetarian dishes.
For drinks, I had a New York Sour (highly recommend it); for entrees, my girlfriend and I had the veal carpaccio, which was a delicious salty snack wrapped inside a croissant-like tube.
The main course offered too many tantalizing options to choose from. Ultimately, it came down to the square of deer vs. the lobster ravioli. I ended up choosing the deer and was not disappointed. The meat was an unstoppable combination of tenderness and lusciousness.
For desert, I had the sponge cake, which tasted fantastic against the backdrop of chocolate soaked chestnuts and cream crackers. But the real piece de resistance of the desert menu was the humbly named "chocolate surprise". This scrumptious sphere of cacao goodness is presented with a cream filling and an additional spout of boiling chocolate which they pour on the top, melting the first layer into the cream layer and creating a swirl wonderland. Somebody call Walter White because this desert just broke bad in the best of ways!
By the time you get out of your seat and see the large bill you racked up in your reckless state of culinary inebriation, you won't care because you will be happily counting down the days until your next dining adventure at Chez Sophie!
