    Bryant was our server and he was fabulous! The ny strip was to die for! The sauce compliments it so well. The Gouda Mac and cheese is a MUST!! My boyfriend got the duck and it was so tender you’d never even know it was duck! It came with the fried balls (not sure what it was) but it’s heaven in your mouth! I can’t recall the last time I’ve had a meal this perfect. Most definitely will be back!!

    My party of four had a wonderful experience at Soby’s last night. On a very crowded night, we were seated in a nice booth and were greeted by a waiter who answered all our questions about menu options and provided recommendations when asked. The entrees we chose were all well-received and shared across the table. Oh, I forgot to mention THE FOOD IS OUTSTANDING! At the end of the night we all agreed we would come back whenever we were in Greenville!

    We had the Oscar Filet, scallops, crab cake, pork chop, pretzel and chocolate mousse. In addition to a couple of cocktails and we shared the Mesa Amarone. The food was amazing, drinks were delicious, the server was lovely (sorry I didnt get her name) and there was no pressure to move on even after a couple of hours. Not my first time or my last. My Mom has special needs and they never disappoint (taking great care of us). Love it here!!
