    The braised beef short rib w/black truffle grits and greens was AMAZING! Not overpowered with truffle, just a nice flavor to raise the bar. Portion was huge. Starter of crispy Brussels sprouts w/honey, goat cheese, supurb. She crab soup can tend to be salty, but tonight was right on with a decent amount of crab. Dessert was divine of a cardamom panna cotta w/an apple filling. Very light, nice, and smooth texture similar to what I experience in Italy, but plated to raise the experience. Can’t go wrong at Soby’s! Jackie was a great server and had our meal nicely spread out and never felt rushed or wondering if next course was forgotten! Thanks for working Thanksgiving all!

    This is a relatively upscale establishment and they take the customer experience to a higher level. Our server was awesome, great personality and full of energy. I think it was Keith or Kevin. The food was good, but I wouldn't say over the top. The potatoes and brussel sprouts were a great side dish. The black and blue topping on my steak was really good. Treated ourselves to a few old fashions with the smoke enhancement. Definitely a good visual and nicely flavored drink. A worthwhile visit.
