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

Labebe Prime was born from the heart of my beloved grandmother, who taught me that food is love made visible. Her table was filled with warmth, laughter, and abundance, and her kitchen was a place of comfort and belonging.She raised her family in the 1950s with honor, discipline, and devotion. Meals were sacred, conversations mattered, and family came first. That spirit lives on at Labebe Prime, from our elegant style to the music that brings people together.I carry her legacy into every dish I create, welcoming each guest with the same love and generosity she shared with me. Every plate carries a piece of her heart and a promise: to nourish both body and spirit.At Labebe Prime, food is shared as an invitation to gather, feel seen, and remember what truly matters.Only the best, for the best!Chef Tony Pierre
