    Absolutely wonderful experience! The restaurant is very nice inside with a very welcoming vibe. We were visiting Columbia for the first time and totally lucked out. We had a 2 server team as one was being trained and the service was amazing. I wrote down their names but lost my receipt. Food was fabulous. I had the Wreckfish special and my wife had the Lamb Osso Buco and they couldn’t have been any better. If you’re in town this should be a must

    I recently dined at this restaurant with a companion. They ordered the lamb, while I opted for the lobster bisque and a salad. The lamb was exceptionally tender, falling off the bone, but the accompanying flavors in the dish, as well as the bisque and salad, were somewhat lacking. The drinks were also disappointing, and contained very little alcohol. Given that it was the holiday season, the restaurant was quite noisy, likely due to private events being hosted at the same time. It was difficult to chat across the table. While the lively atmosphere could have been excused, the lack of flavor in the dishes was unfortunate.

    The food was excellent. Atmosphere was great. The bartender made me a really good dirty martini. Our server Karson was very attentive and took great care of us. Definitely will be back.

    We had an excellent waitress and the food was amazing. I have been her several times but was never so impressed. We were a group of 5 and never felt rushed.
