   Hard to find good food servers we know, but our particular server was completely expressionless throughout our brunch.

   Our waiter Brian was great, attentive. We had a reservation for 8pm, didn’t get seated till 8:40. I feel when you make a reservation a week ahead you shouldn’t have to wait 40 min. for your table! A suggestion have a hostess that knows what she is doing! This is a high end restaurant, it should start with the hostess, the first person you are in contact when you arrive.

   The restaurant has excellent food, good service and nice ambience. The price is moderately expensive but the quality is high. The location in downtown Greenville is convenient and the valet parking a plus.

   We got a table upstairs looking over the kitchen. We both cook and found it fascinating. The food was excellent as was the service. We went on the early side and fortunately were inside when it started pouring. People sitting out on patio had to rush in, not sure that would have been a great dining experience.

   The food is fantastic at Soby’s (I highly recommend the duck confit and pine cone dessert). What really makes Soby’s special is the staff. Our server, Kyle, was incredibly knowledgeable about the food and wine he was serving and very willing to share his expertise.

   We had the striped bass & the shrimp & grits. Both were fabulous. Shrimp & grits had that little bit of spice but not hot spicy, lots of shrimp and just enough grits. Striped bass was flavorful and light. Waitress was very attentive. Only “complaint” and it wasn’t really, but we sat right next to the sidewalk outside. So if you don’t like people walking by or dogs, ask for a different table. We didn’t mind. I would definitely return. Oh and they had quite an extensive wine& cocktail list. All good.

    I was supposed to meet someone for a date, and they ended up standing me up. I told the hostess it would be only one for the reason, and she got me the best seat in the house!! They were super sweet and attentive, ill definitely be back (hopefully this time with an actual person lol!)

    Braised Beef was not the tender fall apart entrée that we used to. Maybe going on a big day like Mother's Day wasn't ideal. We did receive a (1) dessert to go although 2 people at the table had the same dish. Long story short, this won't turn me away from Soby's but I will think twice when going on a National Recognized Holiday.

    Mother’s Day/wife birthday. Let me say…I have always spoken HIGHLY of Soby’s. I’ve encouraged numerous people to go there. The last couple times were very disappointing. My small portion of mashed potatoes were smooth and a little opaque. That means watery. Lacking any texture or flavor. Fried chicken was good. Just good. I was served SEVEN green beans next to my 1/2 cup of potatoes. $24.00!!! My wife’s French Toast was just average. Not thick brioche bread. “standard “ pullman loaf. For $21.00!!! Salmon-again- super small portions. I just can’t spend $150 and leave hungry! No dinner rolls. Menu choices are not appealing. Im a chef. And I expect better Sobys.

    Overall a good, reliable experience from one of downtown Greenville's institutions at this point. This trip had an unusually long wait for our food after ordering and the steak doneness was pretty far off what we requested. Pleasant service though and a good meal for a special occasion.

    Soby’s has always been our go to place when we visit Greenville to go to the Peace Center. The wait staff has always been really good, the food very tasty and the ambience positive. We really enjoy sitting outside when the weather is pleasant. We have turned our adult kids to Soby’s and they loved everything about it.

    What a disappointment. Two ladies in our party ordered the bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin, which when it arrived, we were all like "Uh oh!" It looked as if it had been really overcooked and sitting out for some time, very unappealing visually. Guess what? It WAS overcooked, dry, cool, and basically inedible. Both dishes were sent back, and we waited for replacements, which arrived after some time and were substantially better. No one likes to go to an established, highly regarded restaurant and have to reject a dish for being so substandard. This was our experience at Soby's last night. In our minds, Soby's reputation has taken a major hit. I mean, come on, at those prices we would expect better.

    Food was really good we got the fried chicken and shrimp and grits. Sitting outside was nice also, but the service was really not good. Out waiter was so slow and only refilled our drinks once upon asking. We saw other waiters running around but ours had a slow stroll! Food was good but service was a no.

    Cody was awesome. When checking OpenTable for a later lunch reservation, we came across availability at Sobys at 2 pm. Sitting outside was a bonus as it was beautiful outside. Although we later found out that 2 was the last reservation of the lunch shift, Cody went above and beyond and never made us feel rushed. Love the food and the wine list!

    Soby's was a great place to have a quick bite to eat for brunch. I felt misled when booking through OpenTable because it listed Soby's as the second best restaurant in Greenville. I've eating at several places in Greenville and I can think of five places right away I would have ranked over Soby's. I ordered the shrimp and grits, which being about ten dollars more than everything else on the menu, I expected it to be fantastic. It was mediocre at best. There really wasn't much flavor. My wife ordered the frittata. Not great, not bad. The only value in the brunch menu were the $3 bloody mary's. Sure, it doesn't have the pizzazz of a loaded bloody, which they do serve, but it's the best bang for your buck here. We ordered one of the fully loaded bloody mary's to do a comparison and felt it was worth it to stick to a $3 bloody vs a $9 bloody with a strip of bacon and stuffed olive.
