“I’m giving this 4 stars because the hostess I felt was quite rude. When I asked for an estimate about the wait time I was told “well you just joined the list so…”. Having been in a queue a time or two I know how lines work. On to the food. The beignets were interesting as they are not traditional but rather puff pastry squares that are deep fried and then powdered with sugar. Fine but not what I was expecting. The chicken with French toast bites was very very good. The omelette that I ordered was also very good but given the price, I thought the omelette would’ve been a little bit bigger, but it was a good omelette so I won’t complain about the taste. Overall, a good experience and I would recommend coming here.“

“The food, service, and atmosphere was off the chain!!! Great place to eat and hangout!!!“

“Great food and great service!“

“Incredible experience at Lula Drake! The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. The food and the wine was unreal. Everything was paired so perfectly. I tried the Somm’s choice with dinner and it was amazing. So much care and attention to the details that really make Lula Drake special. I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you for a wonderful night!“

“My husband was taken to this restaurant two weekends ago and now we have to drive to Columbia just for this restaurant because it has ruined him! LOL 🤣 By the way, we are driving over an hour to eat there! See you guys tomorrow! Delicioso! My husband can't wait!!!!! 😋👍❤️ I give this place five stars and I haven't even ate there!!!!“

“We went to Luzianna Purchase's 2nd evening, 5 course dinner and it was fabulous! Each course had a wine pared with it that made it very elegant. Thomas and Mary Katherine explained each course and where the ingredients came from. The atmosphere was warm and personal; we entered as strangers and left with new friends.“

“This is one of my favorite spots in Columbia! They have an amazing rooftop with great energy. You can get food up there too although the menu is slightly limited and more geared towards small plates-- which makes sense for a rooftop anyway! In the main dining area service is excellent. I could eat the mushroom toast every day- it's that good! As a wine professional I appreciate their thoughtful selections, there's something for everyone. Much love!“

“My partner and I celebrated our annual "unbirthday" with dinner at Lotus and had a fantastic experience Excellent quality dishes, generous portions, and above all a fast, attentive and KIND wait staff. We will absolutely be back!“

“I wanted to rave about the manager, Eddie, and chef, Jonathan. On Friday, I inquired about accommodating my stringent dietary restrictions, and they proactively exceeded expectations. My requirements included the exclusive use of pure olive oil in the preparation of my meal. Initially, I expressed concern that my options might be limited to broccoli and a simple salad. Manager Eddie assured me that this was unacceptable and suggested I contact the chef the following day to discuss my needs. Following this conversation, Chef Jonathan promptly developed a suitable solution. I ordered the brick chicken, prepared using only olive oil, rosemary, and thyme—a dish perfectly aligned with my dietary limitations. The meal was exquisite, and I thoroughly enjoyed dining with my friends. accommodate my very strict food intolerances, and they went out of their way to do just that. I needed my dishes to be cooked in pure olive oil, amongst other things. At first, I told Eddie it looked like I could only have broccoli and a salad with minimal toppings. He said, "You can't come here and just eat salad and broccoli." He then said to call the next day, and he would get the chef on the phone to discuss my food concerns. I called the next day, and Jonathan quickly had an idea. I ordered the brick chicken, which only had olive oil, rosemary, and thyme. Exactly what I was able to eat. It was delicious, and I was so thrilled to eat out with my friends. I so appreciate both of them going out of their way for me.“

“College kids operate the 7Brew and they are fantastic! They do a great job of quickly taking orders; are knowledgeable about the large number of drink options; and consistently get me back on the road in no time (even when the line looks long).“

“In town for a week and I wanted some coffee that wasn’t from the typical chains.

This is it!! I want a refill right now 🤣🤣

I took a suggestion from another review and ordered a “cookie butter latter with caramel drizzle and cold foam.” 10/10 I love it. I would’ve definitely gotten it sweeter but it is sweet. And it was only $6.11!!!

The employees were kind and friendly.

Great coffee. I will be back next time I’m in town.“

“Omg this is the best Jamaican food in the city hands down not to down play any other Jamaican restaurants here in Columbia but this here is so authentic!!! The spice’s lawd let’s not talk about the cabbage the ginger hitting every time😩😩😩😩“

“If you’re looking for FAST, friendly, hot made to order food, this is the place. All the locals come here so it fills up quick ensuring your food is hot and fresh. They work on a number system similar to other restaurants, so pay attention.

We got 2 lunch specials 10.50 each. 3 piece chicken of YOUR choice fries, slaw, and a dinner roll. Hot sauce is provided at the tables! Plenty of tables for dining in, plenty of parking but it fills up quick! We WILL be back!

10/10“

“We so enjoyed this establishment both nights we stayed in Cola. We loved the fresh oysters, old bay shrimp and crab legs. Had the pleasure of meeting the one and only Mother Shucker. Such a lovely lady! Can’t wait to share our bottle of cocktail sauce with the bestie on our next oyster night at home. Much love to you all! 🫶 We will be back soon!“

“Stopped at Bitty & Beau's and had a wonderful peppermint bark latte. The coffee shop is inviting and inclusive. I am absolutely loving sitting here sipping my latte and listening to Christmas music. The staff is so friendly, you can't have a bad day after a stop at Bitty & Beau's. ❤️“

“Been coming here since the 80’s. Always great, never been dissappointed! I get a Turkey, Bacon and Cheese salad probably 3-4 times a week! All the staff are so great and accomodating. I will continue my Groucho’s journey as long as I am here!“

“We are from out of town visiting and wanted to try something new. We had a child with celiac so that can be difficult. This place had amazing servers and amazing food!! Def recommend for food and atmosphere!!“

“Do yourself a favor and go to this place! It's exceptionally good. Cajun style food that's out of this world. Forget about the franchise food places you can get anytime back home, they suck! When in Columbia, South Carolina, go to the Bourbon restaurant.“

“Excellent variety and taste.“

“Best coffee!! My favorite is the iced vanilla lavender latte with oatmilk. The baristas are friendly and gracious. When I meet up with friends for coffee or need to get work done, this is my go-to spot! The manager kindly gifted me a bag of their ground coffee to take home, and my husband and I love it!“

“It’s a popcorn haven and the hotdogs are delicious 😋!!!“

“Great and fun place! Nice employees!“

“First time in and might I say I will be back. I went with a group of girls from work and we all enjoyed our food. Fried green tomatoes, the grits, the pork belly biscuit, the southern chicken biscuit, and even my waffle fries with sausage gravy, cheese curds, and my added touch of hot sauce, plus the sweet tea was on point. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The service was quick and the food was delicious.“

“We catered goat biryani for my mom’s dua, and I have to say I’m very impressed by Persis’s service and thankful to them! the food was delivered on time, they gave us a great deal, and it was absolutely delicious, everyone loved it, I would highly recommend catering from Persis!“

“Excelente servicio, buena comida, Ángela gracias por tus atenciones!“

“I just want to offer a thank you to the gourmet shop for y'all's help today. My wife and I have eaten here for years and love it. So when it came time for our daughter's baptism this morning when we found out the Gourmet Shop offered a catering menu it became a no brainer for us. The catering options on a per head basis for 12 people were an incredible value. Our guests, many of whom do not live downtown now want to make it a point to visit the restaurant. Thank you again for making it easy for two parents of a 6 month old to throw a great party for our family.“

“Stopped in while on the road to Florida. Had the bourbon vanilla latte. Outstanding!!!!!“

“I had my first lunch with the restaurant in Columbia today and it was a GREAT experience! Definitely the very bbq in the area! Totally enjoyed the food, as well as the friendly demeanor of all who we came in contact with. I’m going to use the catering soon for an event at work and cannot wait for everyone to try it out! Thanks so much for your hard work!“

“we have hosted our Lake Carolina book club there for the last 2 months. The treats and drinks have been amazing. The staff is so wonderful! they were helpful, friendly and quick. I can't wait to host more meetings at Light house“

“We went to Baked Bear on Saturday, January 7th. When we got there, the line was out the door (it's delicious so I get it). As we get inside I realize this 1 girl is working alone. Her name was Natasha I believe. She was amazing. She welcomed each person when they came in, had a smile on her face the entire time, and made us all some delicious treats. This girl deserves a raise and a bonus! If I owned a business I would be trying to take her from you 😁. It very unusual to see this kind of work ethic these days, especially from someone so young. I hope the manager/owner reads this message and realizes the gem of an employee you have. Also, your cookies are delish!“

“Dined here last night for the first time and had a wonderful time and meal. The staff were all very helpful and attentive. The food was delicious. Our party enjoyed both sushi and hot entrees. The eggplant dish was very flavorful and the sushi was fresh and tasty.“

“Great place to grab lunch. The food is so good!!“

“Great dinner tonight! The trout piccata was fantastic. I highly recommend saving room for amoretto cheesecake. ❤️“
