    Me and my two daughters had dinner at Soby's on a Sunday evening. We read many excellent reviews and we had one night for a dinner in Greenville, a place none of us had ever been. The outside eating area was very nice. Lot's of space, greenery, comfortable enough seating. First complaint - the music was too loud, and the music selection was over the top with urban, funk, r&b, none of which I like, especially during a dining experience. Tone it down and play some calming music at a low volume. How about some jazz or soft rock? We ordered she crab soup, green salad, halibut, the shrimp and grits, tart and a crab cake. We shared everything. Consensus was unanimous. All of the food was brought to the table at the exact same time. They brought out two halibut entrees even though we ordered only one. The tart was oddly watery, but tasted good. The shrimp was very tasty. The halibut was excellent, and we all liked the salad. The crab cake was nicely done, as was the crab soup. The problem was the service timing. We sent back the extra halibut, and I made the comment that we'd see it on the bill anyway. Sure enough, we did. She corrected the error and apologized. So service lacked, and the music sucked, but the question is - would I go back there to eat? Maybe. We enjoyed the sister restaurant ..The Lazy Goat, for lunch, much more.

    Our Father’s Day brunch was fantastic. My husband was so pleased with the food and we couldn’t get over how wonderful our server was. They were busy but we never went without water or drinks and were well looked after. Great experience.
