    We had a fantastic time! Would have given all 5 Stars, but for some reason the bartender disappeared for a portion of brunch. Loved the cushy pillows and watching all the activity of Soda City through the window while visiting with friends and enjoying yummy food and fun cocktails.

    I had shrimp and grits and my husband had a bowl with potatoes eggs sausage and gravy, and it was TERRIBLE!! The grits were very gritty, taste like I was eating dirt. My husband’s bowl was disgusting. The gravy was sweet, cold and just not good. I was very disappointed in the food! The mimosas we had were good and the ambience was very nice. They just need to stick to desserts and drinks.

    Our first time dining here, delicious. The server was very nice and informative. Service was wonderful. There were 4 of us and we ordered two orders of meatballs and two of the stuffed mushrooms, great flavors. We then went on to enjoy Steve Martin and Martin Short. A perfect evening. Mary Moore

    Made a reservation for six. We were seated at a table that was not chair height and there were not enough seats for 6 people. When asked whether we could move to a nearby table, we were informed that there were no other seating options. The host said that the website said that parties of 6 or more were difficult (that's not what the website says). Since no accommodations were really offered, we left. I can't attest to the food or service, but the customer service was not good. I would definitely not coming in for a party larger than 4.

    They ran out of the desert I came for! I came on a slow night for that reason. I’ve been wanting it for the past 1.5 years so I was really bummed! But my host was supper pleasant and apologetic.

    I recently dined at this fantastic restaurant and was blown away by the incredible food. The wagyu meatballs were a true standout, tender and flavorful. The charcuterie boards were a delight, offering a variety of delicious cured meats and cheeses. The ambiance with its acetic decor added a unique touch, creating a memorable dining experience. The drink selection was impressive, with great options to complement the meal. A special mention goes to their thoughtful gesture of complimentary champagne for my birthday, making the evening even more special. I highly recommend this restaurant for a delightful culinary journey.

    Food was delicious. But service was not great. We were forgotten about many times and had to physically flag down a waiter to get water or ask about a part of our meal. We weren’t greeted for about 15 minutes after we sat down. Very cool place and great food. Just need more service training or perhaps more staff to help.

    I understand you're in a new location. It was our first time eating at the new location, and the reservation I made included that we were celebrating a birthday. When we arrived, we were told to seat ourselves. We knew what to expect for the menu after looking at it online. The food was disappointing, I don't think the young lady serving us gave us her name, we had to ask her to clean off our dirty dishes before we ordered dessert. My apple tartin dessert stated it was for 2. The serving was enough for 1 and the one scoop of ice cream was NOT enough for 1 let alone for 2. Our bill for an evening dinner for less than a full entree in any other restaurant was a little too expensive.

    I arrived on time for my reservation. The restaurant was very beautiful. I was greeted and told to sit where I please, awesome. But I was left there with no server for over 10 mins. The restaurant was not crowded and had no music playing, so it was completely silent besides the whispers from other tables trying not to be loud due to no background music. There was also an odd smell. I didn’t stay given the wait with no apparent reason.

    We went for the first day that brunch was offered, so this is sometimes the day they are working the kinks out. There were NONE. The menu offerings are amazing and the food and service (by Jordan) was excellent. The prices are reasonable, particularly considering the gourmet preparation. We were a party of 3, and tried the biscuits with chicken gravy, the shrooms and grits as well as the egg and grits meal. All were perfectly cooked and beautifully plated. The sticky buns were perfection! Even the Bloody Marys were wonderful. We can’t wait to return. The Culinary Director, Mike, stopped by our table to check in. This is such a nice touch, but many restaurants forget how important this is.

    it was not worth the hype. it was an ok experience, nothing more. They had to go across the street to The Grand to get sweet tea and lemonade. The waiters and waitresses didn't cover the glasses and made several trips back and forth to get tea for customers. They ran out of salad honey mustard dressing. The menu is extremely limited so it shouldn't be that hard to stay stocked. All of the large area rugs were lifting up on the edges and several people stumbled over them going to and from their seats.

    They served the best cocktails I've had in Columbia. The salads were fresh. The selection of tapas was limited although I guess their focus is on quality dishes that they can do very well. Everything we tried was excellent but I'd skip the Robinson pudding. It's really just banana pudding in a small Mason jar. We will be returning.
