Carl Sobocinski

Carl Sobocinski is founder and president of Table 301 Restaurant Group, located in Greenville, South Carolina. Carl has spearheaded the company’s growth and development over the past 20 years which now includes 10 signature restaurants in its portfolio: Soby’s New South Cuisine, The Lazy Goat, NOSE DIVE Gastropub, Passerelle Bistro, Highway 301 Food Truck, Southern Pressed Juicery and Table 301 Catering & Kitchen.

A native of Durham, New Hampshire, Carl made his way to South Carolina and Clemson University where he pursued an architectural degree. Following his graduation, Carl quickly realized that his true passion aligned more with the hospitality industry and community service than architecture and design. In the mid-90s, he took a leap of faith and opened his first restaurant called The 858 in Greenville. Soby’s New South Cuisine followed in 1997 and the rest is history.
