We went Soby’s for my birthday last night. We had great service from everyone. We were greeted with a smile and shown our table quickly. Since it was restaurant week we tried the $40 three course meal. The She Crab soup is not to be missed. Crumble those delicious biscuits into the soup if you want to elevate the flavor. My wife had the steak and I had the shrimp and grits. All dishes were spectacular. The atmosphere was electric since it was a Saturday night. We highly recommend this restaurant and will return.

Service, food, and ambiance was great! We came for brunch and couldn’t pass up the $3.01 mimosas or Bloody Marys. The breakfast potatoes were well seasoned and we enjoyed the eggs Benedict. Only disappointing part was the coffee – it was so light it was see through and not strong at all. Other than that, great experience.

We really enjoyed brunch there yesterday. The atmosphere is comfortable and vibrant. Britt gave us excellent service even though she was covering 12 tables. The food was exceptional. My Shashuka was great and my wife’s Egg Benedict on a fried green tomato was excellent. I had to try their special Old Fashion which rocked!!!

The reputation that Sobys has is all true. Elegant Southern Cuisine that warms the heart like mommas cooking does.
I had their fried chicken that came recommended from our waiter and I’m glad I did! A plump chicken breast with a fine layer of crisp fried batter. The hot honey glaze was a perfect addition too; it had a slight ping of heat on the back of your tongue so it didn’t overpower the meal which was perfect.

We had a reservation for 10 people at 8:00 p.m. We arrived 10 minutes early, yet we were seated 25 minutes after our reservation time. A 25-minute wait with a reservation is unacceptable.

After being seated, we waited another 30–35 minutes just to receive bread. Nearly 1 hour and 10 minutes later, we finally received our first dish: cured salmon tartare. It was served warm, which was very disappointing, as tartare is typically cold. It was bad enough that we didn’t eat it. The waitress noticed the untouched plate but didn’t say anything or ask if there was an issue—poor customer service.

The pumpkin soup was delicious and, honestly, the best dish of the night.

Next, we received crab cakes that were almost burnt, dry, and clearly rushed. It felt like the restaurant was overwhelmed, the kitchen was closing, and they sent out whatever came up. The braised short ribs were underseasoned and lacked flavor.

We had high expectations coming here, but they couldn’t even get our drinks right. It seems like they are prioritizing quantity over quality. Is that really worth it? I will never come back.

For a restaurant recommended by the Michelin Guide, this experience was terrible. It should not be listed on that website at all. Seating so many people together that the waitress couldn’t even move around the table—forcing guests to pass plates and glasses—was unacceptable and uncomfortable. Honestly, I’m sure the fire department wouldn’t approve of that setup.

To make matters worse, the waitress herself was asking us to pass plates and glasses around the table, which was both awkward and unprofessional. “Sardines” should be the new name for this restaurant. Beautiful restaurant, but terrible service and terrible food. I hope it was just a bad day for them. Never again for me.

My Wife and I celebrated Valentine’s Day today at Soby’s and if I had one word to describe everything: PERFECT!! John and Chuck were excellent. They had great recommendations, wonderful wine service, and just an overall amazing experience. The food was fantastic, so much so that we forgot to take pictures before we started digging in. 10 out of 10 recommend Soby’s and we will %100 be coming back!!

Very nice for a quiet dinner for two or even a family night out for dinner. They have two level seating that includes window with street view, downstairs dinning room, and upstairs dinning room. Yhey have a limited menu (which for me means they know what they do well) with fish, beef and chicken. Plentyof appetizers as well.. The food is good, but depending on what you order the portions can be small. This was a repeat visit after now going for years and I would recommend going if you haven’t been yet. Bonappetit!

Overall, great place very sexy ambience with a very customer service and the aesthetics are amazing. Definitely a top-tier place and can see why they have a Michelin recommendation under their belt! If you are ever in the area, stop in, have a drink get some soup and just enjoy! If you have a chance to go to the winery downstairs in the basement, definitely check it out. They have some of the oldest wine in the world, especially from 1883 and their wines that you can buy down there.

Ah the goat. This is the paragon for Greenville restaurants. All the dishes are well-made, the presentation is sufficient, and the service is spot-on. Of course, the area is kept clean and well-maintained. To give an example of the service, their training server overheard me and my then-girlfriend, now fiancee, talk about sharing the shrimp and grits. So, she asked the kitchen to split up the portion ahead of time to allow both of us to hand a good looking dish. It’s those little things that set restaurants apart and this is one of them. It’s fairly vegetarian friendly, though it can work on that.

Simply spectacular! We were a couple of days past Restaurant Week and they extended the deals to us. The dishes were phenomenal. Plan a little extra time to walk around the lovely downtown.
