We both had the special fried flounder which was the best I have ever had. The truffle Mac-n-cheese is so it f this world and the Banana Cream pie was so tasty and light! Simply a perfect dinner.

                                            The food was pretty good, tasty, and nicely served and presented. The biggest complaint was the server that kept coming back literally every five minutes and interrupting our conversations. Completely unnecessary and borderline rude.

                                            Delicious meal that was perfectly prepared and very helpful information when selecting a bottle of wine. The only drawback we had, which was quite minimal, was they had thrown the coffee away when there were still quite a few people in the restaurant. The staff was very friendly and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

                                            Went to Soby's for my mom's 70th birthday last night. The server was very good, and the ambiance was nice. Two of us ordered the short ribbon meal, and they were mostly chunks of fat. It was pretty unappealing and not worth the money.
