Probably 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 Jane

I 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 Sparks

Get 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 Miildh

Fresh, 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 AutoGlass

They 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

Ryan

One of the best in Cola. Brunch is great as well as dinner . Their bacon vodka bloody mary was pretty interesting too.

One of the few places to find sweetbreads on occasion if you like them.

Becki Briers O'Hara

Do 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!

Jose Nunez

Closes on Mondays for dinner

Get the spiked Arnold Palmer (aka the John Daily).

Ed Gilmer

I'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!
