This restaurant, housed in a former cotton factory, is convenient to The Peace Center -- a great location for a post-show meal. Our party had steak and seafood, and all were pleased with their meals. The waiter was attentive, knowledgeable and friendly but not overly so on the latter. In particular, the desserts are wonderful. The only down side was... More

We have always loved Soby's Restaurant. It never disappoints. The food is flavor infused. We have many favorites. I particularly love the She Crab Soup and Crab Cakes. But, there are so many other delicious choices. We have relatives from out of town who always insist we visit Soby's when they are here. The service is great too; very attentive.

Lovely old building, exceptionally professional and knowledgeable staff, eclectic menu, not too large but covering all the main food items. Well cooked, well presented, a really enjoyable experience in the heart of down town. Very busy most of the time so make a reservation to avoid disappointment.

We dined at Soby's with family, and had an excellent meal and quite possibly the best fish dish any of us ever had. Potato encrusted red snapper with crawfish étouffée (I believe they occasionally swap out the fish and do a similar dish with grouper/tilapia/etc.) It was amazing. It was so good that my husband's father immediately bought us all... More

Soby's is good...but I didn't want to give them a 'very good' rating. Mostly because I know everyone else in Greenville will. People are crazy about Soby's and for me, I just think it's overrated. The crowd is too uppety for my taste, and there are few options for me on the menu since I'm not big on seafood. It's... More

Everything we had here was fantastic, from the salads/apps to our mains, and the homemade gelato. Wine list is serviceable, as is the beer selection - probably the best place to go on Main St in Greenville.

This is a lovely spot in downtown Greenville, SC. Charming place with excellent staff and food. The interior is lovely, but the patio is just the best when the weather is nice. Excellent crab cakes.

Great service, great food, love the environment! Have to check it out! It has a romantic feel to it if that's what you're looking for or if you're just out with friends. I love this place. Wish their menu had more selections to choose from though.

While visiting Greenville, SC we choose to have dinner downtown. Soby's was recommended along with a couple others but we were so glad we chose Soby's. The service was excellent. We enjoyed the Trout and Crab Cakes which were delightful and cooked perfectly. Now we want to return and try other menu items! You will not go wrong with this... More
