Outstanding service (thanks Sami) and great food. We had the sommelier assist us with choosing a digestif and he was very gracious and knowledgeable. Another great night at Soby's.

As always, Soby's was an excellent choice for brunch. Great choices, good prices and high quality food. The service was excellent. I had the Eggs Benedict with fried green tomato and pimento cheese fondue. It was outstanding, and I would order it again! My companion ordered the lemon ricotta french toast and was thrilled with her choice. Will be back!

This was my second visit at Soby's in one week. The first time, everything was 5 star. The second visit was disappointing. The waitress was the difference. She never asked if there was any allergies/food sensitivities. She didn't tell us the specials. She never came back to check if the food served was good. If she had, I would have told her the mashed potatoes were cold. I'm glad this was my second experience, not my first. Otherwise, I never would have returned.

Food was delicious and server was attentive but respectful. In addition they have a great wine offering. And of course whether you sit inside or out, there is a welcome charm.
