    L* Special Villa Bowl

    The Viva Special Bowl with chicken, shrimp, and veggies was FANTASTIC!! I did not even need to pour the cheese sauce on top of it because it already had such great flavor. I had a super nice server too that helped me choose what to order. I will return again! Only negative is I'm old so the music playing is a little louder than I would prefer, but if I was young I doubt that would faze me at all. I'll return for the yummy food! It was just a short little walk from my hotel down on Main Street past the railroad tracks. The chips and sauce were delicious too!

    Chicken fajitas
    Kevin S.

    The coconut shrimp here are the biggest I've ever seen, and So delicious!! The waitress we had was fantastic. We also shared the chicken fajitas. We didn't finish it all by any means. Definitely hit the spot for good food and good service.

    Fajitas

    I think this place is a hidden gem, easy to walk past on the busy street especially with businesses popping up left and right. The bartender was very friendly, offered us menu suggestions and made a couple of great (and huge!) margaritas. We got the birria tacos, a carnitas taco and the chicken, steak and shrimp fajitas. Everything was great and tasted fresh. The restaurant was a bit dark back by the bar but it was beautifully decorated and had a traditional Mexican feel. Will be back to try more menu items!

    Enchiladas plate

    Tasty food. Started with the chunky guacamole. Delicious. Enchiladas were good as well. Lovely family friendly atmosphere. And our waitress was fantastic. We will be back.

    Cucumber Margarita
    Kimberly G.

    Bastian was our server, a very friendly young man. He was professional and eager to please. It was one of the best meals I've ever had at a Mexican restaurant. The Cucumber Margarita was delicious. They make their margaritas from scratch here, so that definitely helps them stand out from the competition. The staff greeted you as if you were a guest in their home. Very nice!

    Coco Margarita, taste better than it looks. Wow.

Honestly, all of the staff we encountered were so helpful, I was very impressed. The bar area is first come, first served. The oysters were fresh and I was given the choice for the sizes of them. The mignonettes were absolutely delicious. We also ordered a burger to share so they cut it in half for us and split the side of fries as well. That was the nicest gesture! The burger is made of two smashed patties with American cheese, garlic confit aioli, and diced caramelized onions. Absolutely delicious! The patty was seasoned and tender. The aoili and onions paired so well together. I can't wait to return for this and dinner service. Fries were fresh and crispy. My only complaint is the excess grease was sitting in the bottom of the metal container, so maybe a piece of paper or something at the bottom could help. Coconut espresso martini was also delicious. I don't like coconut, but the flavor of it was very subtle. Definitely will be returning!

Starting with our appetizer, Bang bang Shrimp, (which was so delicious) I knew we were in for a special treat and we were not disappointed. My husband and I split the Grilled Caesar Salad and it was great. His daily special, Fresh Tile Fish (from Florida) left him fully satisfied and he raved about his entree. The Chicken Piccata had delicious flavor and very good. My Seared Tuna was prepared perfectly , as was the Salmon my nephew ordered. Coral had a kid friendly menu for our little Great Nieces and had a good selection. Celebrating of my husband's birthday was finished with a dessert of Sticky Toffee Pudding and my niece ordered Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse bar and it was beyond delicious. Great dinner and a wonderful ambiance. Thank you, Evan for the terrific service.

An amazing patio overlooking one of the main streets of downtown Greenville, with a cozy interior ambiance as well. Our server was super friendly and knowledgeable of the local food, drinks and their amazing wine selection. Soby's just won the Wine Spectator Grand Award (highest possible) and a Michelin recommended restaurant for 2025. And it shows. We didn't get any wine this evening, but the menu is as thick as a long novel. Anything and everything is in this puppy. Wines from all over the world, ranging from a few bucks to over $13,000 a bottle. Take your pick. We opted for some beer and cocktails, all of which were perfect. The food. This southern inspired menu with local ingredients was fantastic. We had a spicy pimento cheese app with crispy pita and pickled okra...delish! The beet and goat cheese salad was one of the best we've had. The pic speaks for itself there. The Soby's fried chicken is something you HAVE to get if you go. The best fried chicken, with the best bacon mac n cheese to complement it. Tender and juicy, crispy and flavorful...these words don't even scratch the surface of how good this dish was. Top notch experience all around. Make it a point to try it out if you haven't yet, or if you're in town for a visit. And definitely get that chicken dish, yo won't regret it.

    Verdict: Come for the ambience and the white chocolate banana cream pie, stay for the gravy, and…read morehope your eggs don't spend too long in the "spotlight." Soby's serves Southern charm before the food even hits the table. (And if your experience is anything like mine, you will be waiting awhile for the food to hit the table.) Weathered wood beams stretch overhead, brick walls hold decades of character, and the warm lighting makes the whole room glow like butter on a hot biscuit. The kitchen hums with the kind of energy that says brunch is serious business. If you sit upstairs at the loft, there are some seats that overlook the kitchen so it's like brunch and a show. The pecan sticky bun is sweet enough to make you reconsider sharing though I wouldn't know because they ran out of it before 11:00a. Service was friendly and quick on the front end, though the kitchen's food expeditors seemed a little short-handed. The result? A slight wait that left some eggs spending a bit too much quality time under the heat lamps. My Shakshuka dish had an egg-istential crisis. Instead of that luscious over-easy river of yolk, the eggs arrived closer to hard-boiled territory--less "runny brunch bliss" and more "deviled egg audition." Thankfully, our waiter expedited another over easy egg to replace the one that came with my dish. The Providence Farm Country Fried Steak was the undeniable headliner--about 1.5 inches thick and fried to golden perfection. Smothered in sausage gravy, it was the kind of dish that makes cardiologists nervously flip through their calendars. The flavor? Steak-ing its claim as one of the better country fried steaks around. The sunny-side egg, however, had clearly spent a little too long basking beneath the warming lights alongside my shakshuka. But, if you come for one thing only, let it be the white chocolate banana cream pie. As I've heard Southern Belles say in gest, "it'll make you wanna slap your mama." In short: rustic atmosphere, an energetic kitchen, and Southern food that doesn't just butter you up--it grits straight to the point.
