Soby'sFirst time, not the last!A great experience in all ways. Food was excellent in presentation, preparation and taste. Service was attentive, helpful hut not overwhelming or hovering. Highly recommend.5/14/2013 12:00:00 AMReally Enjoyed This RestaurantMy wife and I had never been to Greenville before, but had heard about Soby's from a friend. The menu was unique and the food and the wine were excellent. Our server, Lynette, was very knowledgeable and very engaging. The restaurant aalled two days ahead of time and offered a variety of seating choices (upstairs/downstairs, indoor/outdoor, table/booth) which we thought was a nice touch. We highly recommend this place for an overall great experience.5/13/2013 12:00:00 AMA great Mother's Day treatWe enjoyed the Sunday buffet on Mother's Day and it was outstanding! Instead of the normal quiche, Soby's served egss benedict, crab cakes, grilled salmon, ham, pork and prime rib. They also served a cold salad of shrimp, calamari and mussels, and the salad selection was delicious. We were seated at 'table 301' - the best seat in the house - and our whole experience was great!5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMWonderful Service and food.Went for Mother's Day. Sat upstairs and it was wonderful. Good food and service. I took my daughter and 2 grandchildren.

Dinner is excellent as well.5/5/2013 12:00:00 AMDeliciousSoby's is always amazing and this trip was no different. Everything was perfect, especially the wine recommendations.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMFarewell to Greenville in Style...!Graduation at Furman and our last visit to Greenville for the foreseeable future. What a wonderful way to say "farewell", with our graduation dinner at Soby's! As always, we were treated to delicious food and impeccable service. Of course, we started off with light and fluffy, and ever so flavorful, cheese biscuits (we went through two baskets, couldn't resist!) and then moved on to the fried green tomatoes appetizer, some of the best that I've had in SC. Although it sounds simple, one of our favorite entrees is the fried chicken with apple butter -- the chicken is seasoned and cooked to perfection, leaving it moist and delicious and the apple butter is a great complement to the chicken. Soby's is a MUST if you're ever in Greenville!5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMAnother great mealLove Soby's. We always have to stop and eat here when we are passing through. It never disappoints us5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMMenu variety to meet all tastesWe chose Soby's to celebrate the completion of my daughter's freshman year at Furman. Wine and appetizers provided a nice start - especially the spice pimento cheese. The menu had wonderful choices to meet our somewhat eclectic taste. The she-crab soup was some of the best we have eaten. The rabbit was delicious as was the chef's special fish dish. The filet chosen by one in our party was cooked perfectly and served with beautifully prepared asparagus. To cap it off we had a wonderful lime tart and very nice creme brulee.4/30/2013 12:00:00 AMSoby's is one of my favoriteSoby's is one of my favorite restaurants. The only drawback to the Sunday brunch is there is just not enough room to fit the people, the food and the waitstaff. Our table was right next to the food line, so there was constantly someone bumping into us and we felt like sardines in a can. Waiter was very good and friendly. Beef burgundy a little dry but otherwise a good experience.4/28/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellant food, waiter wasExcellant food, waiter was well informed and made terrific recommendations on food, wine and dessert.

Just a few dishes but everything we had was good. Food was fresh, diverse, everything original and carefully made. There were no weak links in the meal, just satisfaction. We had the trout over polenta and a vegetable platter to share, the trout was particularly good, not drowning in butter as some make it, just "trouty" enough. Strawberry short cake for dessert with coffee, perfect finish.4/19/2013 12:00:00 AMEvery time I am in GreenvilleEvery time I am in Greenville (home is out of state)- I make an effort to dine at Soby's. I love the food, the service, the ambiance. I plan to make an effort to try dessert next time I am there, because the desserts sound heavenly as well.4/19/2013 12:00:00 AMFirst time at Soby's. We ateFirst time at Soby's. We ate there before the Boz Scaggs show at the Peace Center. The food was excellent. I had the duck, my dinner companions had the short ribs and the special for the night, scallops. We all raved about our dishes. Try the pimento cheese appetizer or the fried green tomatoes. We had both and they were really good. The pimento cheese has just a little kick to it. MMM.
We shared the key lime and banana creme pies. They were very good.
I cannot wait to go back and try other entrees. Our server, Scott provided excellent service and great recommendations.4/17/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat place for a businessGreat place for a business dinner, excellent food, excellent service and great atmosphere.

Honored my request for a table downstairs for six. Good service - fun place!4/14/2013 12:00:00 AMMy wife and I have been tryingMy wife and I have been trying out many Greenville restaurants. Soby' s had always been on our list, but we went to many others before we went here. We were very pleasantly surprised the moment we walked in. The main room has a warm feeling and is comfortable to be in. We were especially glad we had asked for a booth. The booths are private, but still allow "people watching". The outdoor dining looked like fun too.
We will defifitely be back!4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMEverything exceeded my expectationsEverything exceeded my expectations from the delicious scallops, attentive service and comfortable ambiance.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMThanks for a great diningThanks for a great dining experience.

We love the character of the building and valet parking downtown is a big plus. We be back many more times. We see Soby's as an anchor for downtown and the many restaurant choices in downtown.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat Place. Wallow in it!The scenic view (for us) was from the delightful chef's table above station 1, where the chef shouts the orders back to the kitchen staff, occasionally pausing for a glance up and to send a smile to the table. Marvelous anniversary dinner and wine. This was our second anniversary (our own 29th) at Soby's restaurant and we were totally electrified by it. A second family, whom we urged to have their own anniversary (6th) there were just as thrilled as we. We all live in Suwanee, Georgia, and enjoy occasional weekends in Greenville; about twice or three times per year.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMOutstandingFirst time at Soby's and Outstanding!!

You can't go wrong with Sobys. I would like to see a couple more item selections on entree menu and an updated dessert menu. I have never been fond of the dessert selections at Sobys which definitely needs a change. Other than that, Sobys is always a wonderful place for dining.4/5/2013 12:00:00 AMWent out of there way to makeWent out of there way to make birthday event fantastic.4/5/2013 12:00:00 AMLisa our waitress was veryLisa our waitress was very attentive and personable.

Thanks3/24/2013 12:00:00 AMWhile we made a reservationWhile we made a reservation for Sunday brunch, our group of 6 still had to wait about 15 to 20 min. for a table. The brunch buffet was great--lots of choices and the food was delicious. We would definitely eat there again.3/24/2013 12:00:00 AMNo "Wow!" FactorAmbiance was great. We love going to this resturant although we don't go very often. Our favorite resturant is Lazy Goat but they were closed for a private event on the 23rd. I will say that although the food was good, it was not overly impressive as we expected it to be. My wife had the Crab Cakes and I had the flounder. There was no "Wow!" factor. Other than that everything else was great.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMWent to soby's after readingWent to soby's after reading a review in garden and gun magazine. Our meal was exceptional. The she-crab soup was just the right consistency: not too thick or thin, chock full of fresh lump crab and laced with a taste of sherry! Fabulous! My husband had a potato crusted flounder that was lightly breaded, thick,flaky and fresh tasting. My spinach salad was topped with slivers of Smithfield ham, lots of bleu cheese and the perfect amount of a vinaigrette. My crab cakes were large lumps of crab with little breading and were surrounded by a delicious remolade sauce. Very energetic and attractive place.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat food and service, veryGreat food and service, very accommodating for a special occasion3/21/2013 12:00:00 AMThe service and food was impecable!The service and food was impecable!
