    Great restaurant with tons of seasonal options. Will be be back for the spanish rice, plantains and chicken seasonal meal. Ambience was super nice and calm, perfect for a chill low key date night. Service was great, staff was lovely and welcoming, and place was near major tourist spots in Baltimore.

    Nice restaurant. Food was solid. Definitely a great spot for a casually elevated weekday meal.

    Spectacular service and food. Great happy hour and prices. I’m Greek and the spinach pie (Spanikopita) was amazing, as was the Gyro. The mussels were excellent and a nice sized portion. We will definitely go back during our stay in Baltimore!!

    My husband and I go to Sobo weekly with our dearest friends and it is the highlight of our week … for the food, the service, the ambience and all of the marvelous people who are part of the working family. It is a collaboration in process - a great team - that we rely on to take beautiful care of us. A big thank you to Anna, Linda, Spencer, Maya and Anna. If it doubt, … go try Sobo - it will be one of the best decisions you will make. Experience the homey comfort and bliss of an evening at Sobo where there is something wonderful for everyone.
