We were recommended to go here from someone at the State Park. It absolutely fit what we were going for. It was our anniversary and we were looking for something a little more than casual, with great food. This hit the spot! The atmosphere was perfect, the food was absolutely delicious, and the service was great!! We were surprised how clean it was in there. Overall great experience and definitely worth coming back to!

Not really pleased with my experience last night at Soby’s. I thought this place was a premiere restaurant here in Greenville but definitely not something I’ll be itching to go back to. Filet was overcooked and the sides were absolutely terrible. Nothing to write home about and the food is very forgettable!

Like a coming home experience each time seeing the smiling faces of Soby’s team! Then the excellent service and presentation / tastes of every beverage and food! Enjoyed our go to faves of brussel sprouts, beet salad, fried chicken and short ribs! Perfect before the Peace Center! Thank you, Soby’s and Table 301 family!

Soby’s never disappoints, but the quality of their cocktail mixers needs attention. Example, the ginger ale is always flat and weak. Considering the prices they ask you would think the quality would be better. Avoid any mixer than has carbonation. Food and service were great.

During my recent business trip to town, I decided to treat the group of guys I was with to dinner at a place I’ve enjoyed before. This restaurant has always felt like the perfect spot for a night out, but unfortunately, our experience this time was a bit of a letdown. While the service wasn’t terrible, it definitely didn’t meet the expectations you'd have for a restaurant of this caliber. From the appetizers to the main courses, the food was just okay. I ordered the lamb, prepared medium rare, but it arrived rare—definitely not what I was hoping for. It wasn’t until much later that someone checked on us, and by then, it was too late to address any issues. They kindly comped some desserts as a gesture, but overall, the food just didn’t impress. On the plus side, they were able to accommodate a change to our reservation time quickly upon our arrival. I suspect it was just an off night, but it’s disappointing nonetheless. I’m hoping for a better experience next time I'm in town; I’d love to reclaim that great dining experience I remember!
