Best restaurants near me in Travelers Rest, SC

We were visiting Greenville and this restaurant was suggested by our realtor. The menu was small and diverse. I had the sausage Ziti and my husband had the venison Osso Buco. we had an Octopus appetizer. The Octopus appetizer was prepared in such a unique fashion with a cannelloni bean and sauce. The cut on the Octopus was across the mollusk was at the fattest point so it was a large piece and extremely meaty and tender. Unlike anything we've eaten before and very good. My Ziti was a big portion and tasty as well. The venison Osso Buco was in a red sauce with potatoes and bone in. It was a reasonable portion that not too rich and not gamey. A surprising lean dish and a nice surprise to eat. Their choice of specials were superb for that evening. A little pricey though. They were truffle-centric. The restaurant was attractive and lit well - not too bright and not too dim. The service was top notch. The atmosphere was not too loud. Nice acoustics. They managed their temperature perfectly so it wasn't too cold not too hot which we really appreciated. There is nothing worse than having to sit in a restaurant with your coat on because a restaurant has the temperature set too cold to accommodate the staff who are running around and not the clients who are seated and stationary. 100% recommendation to try this dining experience out.

Great time as always! Everything was great and the service was quick and easy!

Our server understood the menu and was helpful with suggestions. The meal was paced perfectly. Food was outstanding.

Excellent food with nice portions, service was quick and precise even with a busy floor, A+!

The braised beef short rib w/black truffle grits and greens was AMAZING! Not overpowered with truffle, just a nice flavor to raise the bar. Portion was huge. Starter of crispy Brussels sprouts w/honey, goat cheese, supurb. She crab soup can tend to be salty, but tonight was right on with a decent amount of crab. Dessert was divine of a cardamom panna cotta w/an apple filling. Very light, nice, and smooth texture similar to what I experience in Italy, but plated to raise the experience. Can’t go wrong at Soby’s! Jackie was a great server and had our meal nicely spread out and never felt rushed or wondering if next course was forgotten! Thanks for working Thanksgiving all!
