Mussels were excellent! They were tender and tasty, and the bread and broth were amazing. Service was great, and the noise level was perfect—energetic but you could easily talk to the people around you. This place is a gem.

We dined at Soby’s when visiting Greenville over a decade ago, and returned today. It has only improved with age. Delightful menu options—difficult decisions. Turns out you really cannot go wrong—you must simply return again to try the others. Appetizers, cocktails and entrées were exceptional, with special shout-outs to the fried calamari, she crab soup, shrimp ‘n’ grits, and the Midnight Train to Georgia.

This is definitely a place I will return for dinner! I didn’t quite understand why the she crab soup was sweet. Couldn’t really taste the crab. Never had it like that before (born in Pacific Northwest and now live in Mid Atlantic). ⭐️However, every item on my plate was simply phenomenal. We dined on swordfish and red snapper! The staff were simply superb! The couscous was delicious. ⭐️I love how the large wooden doors are on the side. Very easy to miss though there are huge glass windows in place of a wall on the street side of the restaurant. This is cool how you can look in and see people enjoying the amazing music and crazy delicious food!

As new residents of Greenville, we thoroughly enjoyed our brunch experience at Soby's! Erich provided amazing service and Mal even stopped by to share the history of the building - it was a cotton gin back in the day! We are hoping to be seated at Table 301 for next Soby's experience! Food was absolutely delicious! We will be repeat customers, for sure!! Lisa and Barry

We were seated upstairs in the narrow hallway above the kitchen, so a bit noisy. Also thought our age should have been considered when we were seated upstairs. I thought about asking for a downstairs table, but Soby’s was crowded and I didn’t want to be uncooperative. Food and service were outstanding!

Love coming to Soby's. My wife and I celebrated our 41st wedding anniversary, and the staff brought us a special desert for the occasion. We were seated upstairs with a great view of the kitchen...love it too. The food preparation is very professionally done, and the quality is the best. Will be back soon.

We reserved a table for 4 at 7pm and arrived early but asked if we could be seated... which they accommodated within just a few minutes of waiting. We each ordered something different (Snapper, Salmon, Short Rib and the special Halibut) along with appetizers (She Crab Soup, Caesar Salad and Beet Salad plus one bottle each of red & white of wine. Service and Food was excellent although the person who ordered the Salmon thought that it was partly undercooked but great flavor. We ended the evening by enjoying the last bit of wine and splitting two Tarcy's chocolate pinecones which I highly recommended. Thanks for a great evening.
