    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!

    I have been to CAMP multiple times before, but this by far was my favorite experience! Our server, Emily, was the sweetest person, very attentive, and made sure we enjoyed our lunch. We also ordered the caviar experience, which was unlike any other i’ve had.
