We had a great meal at Sobo! We split the crab dip appetizer (so yummy and lots of crab meat and old bay). We then each had the mussels, the burger, and the Brie grilled cheese. We split the carrot cake for dessert. Carrot cake was good, but their smith island cake (which was sadly sold out) was even better! Love the lively and warm atmosphere here on cold winter nights!

Overall the food was good. However, the crab cake was not as good, to much seasoning and filling less crab meat.
