Gracen KlinefelterApril 7, 2017We went here for my husband's birthday and everything was awesome! Amazing food and good service with a lovely and rustic, warm atmosphere. We'll definitely be going back!
Alexandre MunhozJuly 19, 2018Probably the best restaurant in town. Good consistent food, good service and excellent bar tender. Highly recommend their charcuterie board.. it goes well with their Old Fashioned.
Stephanie JaneApril 2, 2017I had a great experience here. French toast pudding with blueberry sauce was delicious and the Peach keen was pretty tasty. The service was excellent
Jason SparksFebruary 19, 2014Get to know the bar manager, Josh. His knowledge is unparalleled. I would consider this one of the best bats in the US. Impeccable selection and taste for the best of the best. What an inspiration!
Mela MiildhSeptember 5, 2019Fresh, local selection in an eclectic venue - but that doesn’t make up for a server unfamiliar with what they’re serving. Or to suggest an appetizer with their portions. (European - good but small)
Safelite AutoGlassJanuary 23, 2012They change their menu twice a day everyday and use local veggies and meats. A wonderful and delicious restaurant to try during any visit to Columbia! -Suggested tip from Mary D., Safelite associate- Daniel BJanuary 16, 2011One of the best in Cola. Brunch is great as well as dinner. Their bacon vodka bloody mary was pretty interesting too.
Autumn TaplerApril 11, 2014For Sunday brunch - better be there right at 10:30. It gets full fast. Food is AMAZING* mimosas equally as great *
Best restaurant I'm Columbia by far. I've been here 4 times and haven't been disappointed yet. Menu changes daily
Lizzy JohnsonNovember 22, 2015Amazing food and service!!! Cheese boards were tasty! So was the CAB steak
Tombo GrilleFebruary 24, 2010Motor Supply is our sister restaurant that has been in the Vista for 20 years.The unique menu changes twice daily, be sure to check them out for their famous Sunday brunch! Read more
Charles KochJanuary 26, 2016Not just an acceptable old fashioned, but a great one south of the Mason-Dixon Line!
- Ashley SimsFebruary 28, 2013Best dinner in Columbia and most eclectic wine list! A must visit for sure.
Becki Briers O'HaraMay 4, 2012Do NOT order the lobster bisque. Contains NO lobster and when we asked if we got the vegetable soup by accident we were told it was made with lobster stock. Talk about false advertising!
One of the few places to find sweetbreads on occasion if you like them.
Eat here as much as humanly possible! Daily changing handwritten menu too! Read more
Ed GilmerOctober 31, 2010I've been here several times before but this is my first time for brunch. The food was severely underwelming. Horrible grits, pot roast, eggs and pathetic service. AVOID this place!
