16 Best Bars in Columbia

“Absolutely amazing. A true fine dining 5* experience from the service to the food. Will return again and again.“

“We always have a good experience here but I just want to give them some praise for the accessibility. The disabled bathroom stall is so nice. First of all, it’s the very first stall right next to the door (I’ve never seen that, usually it’s the furthest stall all the way in the back, which can be annoying when you can’t walk very far). It’s also quite large, larger than your standard “accessible” stall. I would have no problem fitting in the stall with my wheelchair and my service dog. A standard accessible stall is barely big enough to fit my wheelchair, let alone with my service dog. I had a lovely conversation with the manager about the accessibility and I love the response he gave, that he doesn’t just want things to meet basic ADA standards, he wants things to be better/more accessible (because ADA standards for accessibility are quite literally the bare minimum and often aren’t easy to navigate). I really appreciate when I hear that type of sentiment because accessibility for disabled people is usually such an afterthought or simply not considered. I’ve recently had an extremely negative experience at another establishment, and it was just very nice to have such a pleasant experience this evening. I also love that every time I’ve taken my service dog, from the time he was a young puppy to now at 18 months and nearing fully trained, they’ve been very welcoming.“

“The first time here, I went to see this awesome band Remedy. The atmosphere was so fun. I loved that the tables were not bunched, plenty of room. I had a Southwest Salad, one of the best I ever had. ? I will go back again just for that salad. I tried the pizza ? as well, very good. Check this place out..“

“The food and the service are excellent.“

“karaoke on a busy Friday night at peak hour....was not a great choice. the vibes were way different than what we came for...“

“Fantastic spot for sushi in Columbia. Was not expecting much from a mall restaurant but was pleasantly surprised.

The oysters were a delight, the sashimi was very fresh, and the sushi rolls we ordered were delicious. Service was fast and attentive. Great quality for price. Will definitely be back.“

“The food was amazing! The service was impeccable! I came for lunch with a FB mom group from Loudoun and it was worth the drive.“

“We have yet to be dissatisfied by their menu and we love the atmosphere. The manager,Adeel, was genuinely kind in checking in us. He informed us that they host events so we’ll look into possibly having our ceremony here. Highly recommended“

“Everyone at Xenia was friendly and helpful. The Falafel Sliders and Greek Salad were delicious!!“

“Overall this is a good place to have Happy Hour. I am super disappointed that the charcuterie board was taken off the menu. It was the best! Bring it back please!“

“Excellent place for HH. They have Toast tab so everyone can be separate. They have long tables so a large group. They have games like cornhole and pool. The drinks are QUICK. This is the regular HH spot for my job. It’s just so easy. Also lots of parking.“

“I read some of the reviews of this restaurant prior to arriving because I was staying at the hotel. At first, I was a bit skeptical of even entertaining the idea of trying this restaurant based on what people wrote, therefore, I started researching other restaurants within close proximity. Whenever my wife and I arrived at the hotel (7 Feb 2024), it was a little bit later than anticipated, so we ended up just staying on property and eating at this restaurant - thankfully it was still open.When we walked into the restaurant, we were greeted very nicely by a couple of employees. Since it was a weekday, the restaurant wasn't busy at all so it was quiet...adding to the enjoyable/relaxing atmosphere. When we sat down and read through the drink menu, I quickly realized that I was on the East Coast because I saw one of my favorite beers on the menu...Yuengling! Being from Las Vegas, NV, we don't have that beer in the city, as odd as it may sound, considering that city has pretty much everything. So whenever I travel East, I try to find this beer whenever I can.Our server, Meaza, was phenomenal! It was refreshing to have a server who was very friendly, attentive, efficient, and amiable...because it seems rare these days to have customer service like this. Our food was amazing; it's unfortunate that other people didn't have that same experience (based on their reviews). We ordered the Buffalo Chicken Wings, Salmon Piccata, Spaghetti Frutti di Mare, Sautéed Spinach, and Steamed Broccoli. I will say that I've had slightly better Buffalo Chicken Wings, but these weren't awful either. Having experienced so many different restaurants in Las Vegas, it can be difficult at times to eat anywhere else without having a bias towards Las Vegas dining. But I can honestly say that the quality and quantity of this restaurant's entrées were remarkable.The following day, my wife and I tried the breakfast at this restaurant in hopes that the previous night's dinner wasn't a fluke. We opted for the full breakfast buffet because for one, I reserved the hotel room that comes with this buffet every morning. Also, it's more beneficial, from a price standpoint, to get the full buffet ($16.95), versus ordering off the menu. You can also order the continental buffet which costs $11.95; however, I wasn't in the mood to just get cold breakfast food. The options were spectacular...and the quality of the food was even more astonishing. We ended up eating the full buffet for the entire stay and the food options were the same for the most part - I think my favorite entrée/item on the buffet line was the Mushroom Casserole and of course the bacon. Also, of noteworthy significance, both Irene and Angela did such a prodigious job with their customer service skills to which I wish this business would publicize their incredible skills for other restaurant's employees to emulate. They were both VERY friendly, professional, attentive, and highly efficient in every way.The décor was nice but I felt that the fabric on some of the booth seating could use some deep steam cleaning...to include the carpets. Overall, my experience here was extraordinary. I can't validate others' experience, but based on ours, I highly recommend this restaurant to all visitors and locals.“

“Overall a good choice in the area! Good homemade chips, very tasty and surprisingly spicy salsa. The California burrito was delicious and full of flavor. No flavor in the guac unfortunately. The spicy margarita was lacking any spiciness and a little watered down but not bad. Happy hour margs are limited to a single flavor each day.“

“It’s a chill place to be at this time a day the food is great anyone and everyone come to Ale House“

“As always, the food was great. We enjoyed the oysters on the half shell, folllowed by my pasta & my wife's lobster roll. Unfortunately, they no longer had the soft shell crabs as advertized on the web site. I don't know how often a web site is updated. The food service was backed up, so we had to forego dessert due to the long wait.“

“Please come up towards the mountains! Frederick and its surrounding areas need Banditos! There’s no good places to eat around here. Your food is always on point at every location we’ve been to. The atmosphere is always pleasant as well.“
