We have had many good meals and experiences at Soby’s. Unfortunately last night was not one of them. The ambiance was okay though we were at a table that many many people had to walk by as they were being led upstairs (with hostess loudly directing them). The food (fried flounder special) was very mediocre and not up to the standard we expect at Soby’s; not worth the cost. I tried the fried chicken, which was just okay; almost tasteless. We feel disappointed but will visit again in the far future.

Cozy and comfortable atmosphere. Every entree and dessert was delicious! I cannot say enough good things about how wonderful our experience was! 10 out of 10!! I don’t think I’ve ever had a better meal. I had the Thanksgiving plate and my husband had the filet. Perfection….Will be back again soon!!

The braised beef short rib w/black truffle grits and greens was AMAZING! Not overpowered with truffle, just a nice flavor to raise the bar. Portion was huge. Starter of crispy Brussels sprouts w/honey, goat cheese, supurb. She crab soup can tend to be salty, but tonight was right on with a decent amount of crab. Dessert was divine of a cardamom panna cotta w/an apple filling. Very light, nice, and smooth texture similar to what I experience in Italy, but plated to raise the experience. Can’t go wrong at Soby’s! Jackie was a great server and had our meal nicely spread out and never felt rushed or wondering if next course was forgotten! Thanks for working Thanksgiving all!

Frankly disappointing. In fairness it was Thanksgiving dinner and a nearly full house. The fried green tomatoes were undercooked and the turkey was dry. Sides were pleasant but not stellar. The gelatin was separated from the crèam in the panacotta.
