We were there for Sunday brunch, so it was quite crowded. Nevertheless, our table upstairs by a window was great and our server, Isabella, was wonderful. The food, too, was very, very good and reasonably priced. In all honesty, we cannot recall having a pecan sticky bun that was as good as theirs, and the shrimp and grits were the best I have ever had - including in some of the best restaurants in Charleston.

This was our second visit to Soby’s in 2 years. The food was excellent and the service staff was attentive and very professional. The crab bisque has been one of my favorite things to eat there!

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!

Excellent dinner for family. It was the Saturday before Christmas and the restaurant was full. This made for a noisy environment but the service and the food were excellent.

Also a hit, I’ve loved Soby’s since the first time I went in during the opening week. I have nothing but respect for Carl and the class and notable places he and 301 have given us to eat! Kudos!!!!

We live in Greenville S.C. But used to live in Columbia. Motor Supply was always our favorite restaurant. We were so disappointed last night. The food was not good, steamed mussels had no flavor, there was not a red meat option on menu. There were 6 of us yet no one cared for their dinner. This was our Christmas dinner together, expensive and tasteless. Waitress was friendly and attentive.
