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.

Everything we ate was excellent. We had the mussels for appetizer. Snapper, Short Rib and Shrimp and Grits for dinner. The service was top notch. The wine list is spectacular. One of the best wine lists I’ve seen in a long time. I loved the look and feel of the place, and it gave a quality impression while not being stuffy. I am a regular visitor to the city of Greenville and this is on my list for every visit.

Our server must’ve been new. She wasn’t familiar with the wine/drink menu. Pacing of food was way too fast and made us feel rushed. We were seated essentially in the server well, so lots of traffic by our table. Food overall was good, not great for what we spent.

reservations - Great! plus we were seated early. service - Chelsea was a busy lady. Attentive to our needs. T The young servers appeared to be working diligently. promptness of meal - dreadful We waited >25 minutes for the main course to arrive, we were beyond hungry. The restaurant was not full, many tables remained empty, maybe your kitchen staff was limited food - delicious, as always

Sobys is typically a great restaurant, but our experience last night was terrible. Salads never came out, drinks were forgotten, one dinner came out raw, server brought one glass of wine only 1/4 full and then another server came out with a bottle to fillet and apologized. Ordered a double espresso and the server brought out two single espresso’s Food was decent but the service was the worst. I’ve had in 20 years.
