Such a wonderful dining experience at Camp! Our server, Reese was informative and kind! The food was amazing. Even though they are “small plates” the portion size was good! The shrimp and pork dumplings and the seared scallops were a fave!

Everything was perfect. Zenith the hostess has an engaging smile and personality. John the manager we met was gracious and attentive, and Matt the sommelier listened carefully, asked great questions, and then selected a perfect wine for our meal. Not our first time at Soby's and assuredly not our last!
