    We are from Atlanta and were in town for a show at the Peace Center. It’s been years since we’ve been here but we would not miss an opportunity to go to Sony’s. Everything is always delicious no matter what is on the menu. We will be back!!

    OMG! You have got to try this sweet little bistro in Pendleton, South Carolina right off the major highway. It’s a little tough to get into but it’s well worth the effort. It was so nice to meet Erica the owner, co-owners with her husband and hear the story of how they opened Erica’s. Gabby was a great server and we appreciate her professionalism. She was friendly, but also knew when to leave us alone and when to help us out it’s so great to have people who work for you that are that conscientious. Everybody should try this place and then you’ll fall in love with it like we did.

    Food was good, a little salty, but lots of choices! It was cold every time someone opened the door, but that’s to be expected when it’s only 30 something! Lobster bisque was delicious and just the perfect amount.
