New spot tucked away deep in restaurant park. This area has been here as long as I can remember. Elliott's is a new gem that we plan to revisit. The food was delicious (tagliatelle bolognese and the brussels were superb, ribs were fall off the bone), craft cocktails were exquisite and the service was perfect. Thankyou Jeff and Patrick for being so attentive. We are looking forward to trying that carrot cake cocktail 🤫 in the making on the next trip. Obviously bravo to the chef- you are truly talented. Oh and the creme brulee..chef's kiss. My family were all impressed. It was a great birthday thanks to you.
Very nice waiter. The cream of crab soup was salty & to much sherry it that was the taste I picked up & very little crab. The ribs & Caesar salad was very good.

Had dinner at Elliott's on a Tuesday. We were seated near the bar and were surprised with some trivia so we decided to play. The announcer was super fun!
We had some delicious cocktails. The brussel sprouts and crab soup for appetizers, which were delicious. Even as a slow eater, they waited so as not to have the entree out with the appetizers. Dinner was a perfect steak and tagliatelle.
Elliots is highly recommended for either a casual meal or a place that you can also have a fancier night.

Brunch at Elliott's Craft Kitchen: A Promising Start With a Few Missed Beats...
I recently visited Elliott's Craft Kitchen a fairly new spot that my group of four decided to try out for brunch. We were hoping for a fresh experience, but our visit turned out to be a mixed bag.
Ambiance and First Impressions...
When we arrived, the restaurant was surprisingly empty, which was a bit of a head-scratcher for brunch time. Even though we could hear staff chatting in the back, it took a good five to eight minutes before anyone came out to seat us. Once we were seated, we noticed the lighting was so dim that we actually had to whip out our phones just to read the menu. Not exactly the cozy brunch vibe we were hoping for.
The Food: Hits and Misses...
On to the food. We started with the cream of crab soup, which was just okay—nothing to write home about. The Brussels sprouts were a bit of a letdown. They were tiny and mostly just fried leaves rather than the hearty sprouts we expected. So if you're imagining those classic roasted Brussels sprouts, this wasn't it.
The chicken and waffles were decent in flavor, although the presentation could have used some polish. The pita bread for the crab dip could have been toasted or something more firm and doesn't taste like it was immediately pulled from a bag. Surprisingly, the star of the meal ended up being something as simple as the French fries. They were really tasty and stood out more than some of the fancier dishes.
Service and the Final Stretch...
Our server was kind and polite, which we appreciated. But the big hiccup came at the end. Their payment system went down, and we ended up waiting over 30 minutes just to settle the bill. After sitting for about 15 minutes we informed our server that we would like to wait in the lounge area to get more comfortable as I understand.... things happen. Although while we waited for about 20 minutes there were no offers of water or anything to make the wait less awkward (not to mention asking for payment without even presenting a bill). It felt like they were more focused on turning the table than making sure we were okay during the delay. Although maybe it was an awkward start to the morning. I will say our server did her best to work things out with the technology she was given. So, I still provided her a fair tip, not her fault.
Value for Money...
In terms of pricing, it felt pretty average overall, but there were a few eyebrow-raisers. For instance, the avocado toasted croissant—topped with over-easy eggs, baby spinach, and Grana Padano—was $19, which felt a bit steep for what it was. In comparison, a pork schnitzel dish was around $21. So, while the pricing wasn’t outrageous, some items definitely made me pause and question the value.
Overall Thoughts...
In the end, my experience at Elliott's Craft Kitchen was a bit of a letdown. So I'm surprised by some of the reviews (maybe because it was not dinner). While there were a few highlights (like the fries and a well-made Old Fashioned), the service hiccups and the underwhelming dishes mean I’d probably think twice before going back. Definitely not for brunch but I would really consider Dinner after some more reviews. Hopefully they’ll iron out the kinks as they get more established.

First time dining here was really nice. Atmosphere was surprisingly adorable considering it's the old Fridays but didn't feel like it used to be (aside from the floor haha). Tori, our server, was very sweet and attentive. Noted it was our anniversary and brought us a dessert to celebrate. Food was presented beautifully however we both felt the chef was a little heavy handed with the salt (no reason to remove a star, just would like to be constructive) but good flavor & thoughtfully prepared dishes nonetheless. Will definitely return, especially to try brunch.

A hidden treasure, quiet with great food and atmosphere. The service was incredible. Highly recommend this for a date night. Everything in the menu is incredible. The food was cooked to perfection, the flavors are all well balanced and melts in your mouth.

Wonderful service and outstanding food and drinks. Highly recommend.
I had the chance to check this place out after driving past it a few times and the service was great.
The food was meh at best - not great, but not terrible either, just didn't really hit the spot.
I'd definitely give it another try in a few months.

I went on a Saturday afternoon with a friend and it was pretty quiet. It was in between brunch and dinner so we had options. We started with the crab dip and wings with the Hibiscus Spritzer to drink which were all good. My only comment on the wings was that it could've been a little crisper.
Then my friend and I both had the chicken and waffles. I ordered home fries which I didn't like. It was their fries that were chopped up and they were lukewarm so not good.
The service was attentive and the only thing I didn't like was the home fries not being removed from the check because I wasn't charged for a lemonade but I wasn't going to argue. Overall, I would give 3.5 stars for the food and 4.5 stars for the service and restaurant itself.

Just went for drinks and dessert at the bar. Place looks great and the staff was very warm and accommodating. Will be back. Prices seem similar to other options in Columbia. We will be back to try dinner.

Elliott's is a cool new spot in Columbia that offers elevated bar food and some nicely crafted cocktails! We sat at thr bar on a recent Saturday afternoon and enjoyed the buttery shrimp, cauliflower bites and shared a black and blue burger. All delicious and served to us by the chef and owner, Ryan Elliott...who is as sweet and conversational as one could dream of in a casual dining experience i forgot to take pics before we dug in but...you can see the carnage. We will be back!
