    Second visit did not disappoint. We brought out of town guests to the Sunday Brunch and it was outstanding. Bloody Mary’s had just the right amount of spice and all meals were delicious. This place should be on everyone’s list to visit.

    As usual our booth reservation was accommodated. Service was excellent,, again, as usual. Wife had crab cakes, her favorite and was thoroughly enjoyed. I had the She Crap soup, which was my standard go by. I found it tasty, but a bit watery compared to my previous visits. For the main meal I had the Seared Snapper. The accompaniments were delicious but the fish was completely over cooked, dry and needed the sauce for any resemblance of salvation. I ended up eating about half of it thinking as I got into the thicker sections, the fish would be better. No such luck. Unfortunately I have difficulty gaining courage to send it back, so I find sending it back or even complaining was out of my question,. My bad. Soby's is our go to before the Peace Center performances,, and will remain so. Next time I may try to gracefully request a replacement re-fire.

    Love this restaurant and is the one I always bring guest to! My friend had the pork chop and had to send back because food was cold. I had the crab cakes. Cakes were not hot and corn was ice cold. I did not say anything. I was embarrassed and did not want to bring attention to myself.

    Food was good and the restaurant itself was nice. The service was just terrible :(. Felt as if we were constantly ignored.. The waiter would rush us then roll their eyes whenever they had to come back when they didn’t even let us finish talking.

    We have had our server before, but he was a little off. Slow and not very attentive. Cocktails were flat. Food was not very hot, but good. Dessert was a big disappointment. We had Cake by the Ocean. Very little taste. Ice cream was supposed to be coconut, but actually closer to vanilla. Not a good experience for the money.
