It was valentine's day, so they were very busy. But they forgot to bring the glass of wine I ordered. Food was amazing!

We went on valentines day so of course it was very busy, but in spite of this, service was quick, the food was perfect, and all the staff were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. I'd recommend Soby's to anybody visiting Greenville or who lives here and hasn't been.

Overall good experience. But most food was salty. I wish I knew what the crab cakes tasted like. But so salty and I didn't want to send back on a busy night. Our server, Candace was great. She crab soup amazing!!

Holy crow! This place exceeded any expectations. Our server, Rachel, was so kind, happy to be there and super attentive. Fried green tomatoes were delish. The fried chicken was perfectly cooked. Loved the ambiance. Great bourbon selection. Definitely don't think we would have gotten a table if we hadn't made reservations, so that was a plus. Will certainly come back.

The service was phenomenal. We had a reservation at 530 and were sat almost immediately. My husband ordered a filet and said it was probably the best he has ever had. The crab cakes were exactly as promised. We will definitely be returning.

We had an amazing Valentine's Day dinner at Sobeys The service ,the food ,and the ambience were excellent.

A great brunch at Soby's on Valentines Day. Maybe the best biscuits and gravy I've ever had and my wife loved the crab cakes. The mimosas were pretty good too!
Kaitlyn
As always, we had an amazing time at Sobys. It was a busy night but service never lagged, the food was outstanding. We love coming to Sobys and will be back for sure. Shoutout to Heather for great service!
Lauren
Absolutely wonderful. Easy to make reservations in a very high quality restaurant. Service was top notch and food was outstanding. We will come back.

Soby's is one of the few restaurants in Greenville that is consistently very good. I took my granddaughter for Sunday brunch before seeing the Nutcracker. An added surprise Santa was there! Santa walked around and visited the various tables, and you could also have your picture taken with him Our meal was delicious I appreciate that the kids menu has more than the usual kids fare. They offer Steak and two sides which was wonderful. Plus three other options I had the Eggs Benedict which was fantastic! Our server was most attentive, very knowledgeable about all the menu items. The restaurant was beautifully decorated for Christmas too.
So happy that Soby's is open for Sunday lunch and it was beautifully decorated for Christmas today with even a Santa Claus for a memory photo with us! Chuck took great care of us and we enjoyed the delightful brussel sprouts and ham, beet and goat cheese salad, fried chicken, country fried steak and toffee pudding! Always a treat with presentation and taste in a beautiful setting!

Was disappointed by my latest visit....Ordered Fall Squash frittata which I have enjoyed before... Felt cold and did not smell/taste fresh, and seemed like it was re-heated and the top crust was overdone. It was also extremely heavily salted. So after eating part of it, I requested the waiter to see if they could make it again since it didn't taste good and did not seem freshly cooked (which is important in a dish made with eggs).....He took it back to the kitchen, but returned with the same plate saying that they couldn't do anything because they make a whole frittata in the morning, and just re-heat slices throughout the day. I wish they had offered to replace it, or offer something else to make up for it...Although he offered me the menu again, there was nothing vegetarian except for salads...Since the salad that came with the original dish was not great either, ordering another salad on a cold day was not appealing... I wish they would offer other healthy and tasty options for those who prefer vegetarian dishes to pork/heavy fried foods which are the mainstay... Waiter did not seem very experienced either and had not checked in early enough, or requested a manager to help out. I was surprised because they were not very busy and usually Table 301 staff is very responsive.

Dinner was very good. My friend and I had the crab cake and the short rib. Both were very filling and tasted very good. Nothing that wowed. Drinks were lovely. The mezcal cocktail I had was a well-balanced drink. Our server didn't really check on us much. Sitting upstairs is rather cold, bring a jacket for sure.

My husband and I visited Soby's for the first time to celebrate my birthday, as I had been curious about the restaurant for quite some time. The atmosphere and ambience were very nice—warm, romantic, and perfect for a special evening out. The staff were friendly, and our waiter was pleasant; however, the service lacked attentiveness. We often had to remind him about items we had already requested, and some things never arrived at all. For example, our first appetizer—roasted brussels sprouts—was brought out completely burnt. My husband sent it back, and to their credit, the kitchen prepared and returned a properly cooked dish very quickly. The food overall was excellent. We truly enjoyed our main dishes, and the mango cheesecake dessert was absolutely delicious—truly a standout. The smaller service details, however, took away from the overall experience. Bread was not brought out initially, and when it did arrive, it was very dry. We had to request butter separately, and after a long wait, it finally came. We also never received salt and pepper, despite asking. These may be small things, but together they made the experience feel less polished than expected. Overall, we had a lovely evening—largely because we enjoyed each other's company and the atmosphere. While we appreciated the friendliness of the staff and the quality of the food, the lack of attentiveness makes me less inclined to return. Greenville has many wonderful restaurants, and I look forward to exploring more of them. This is not a negative review—just an honest one. Soby's had its highlights, and we are grateful for the things they did well.
