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.

And the food is incredible! I’ve never had anything there that I didn’t love. My favorites are the hush puppies, hummus, Veg Fil A sandwich, and the rice and beans bowl. This time when we went, the chef added protein crumbles, nacho cheese, and green onions on top and it was even better. My son loves the Hoot sandwich and he’s 10 years old and usually non-vegan….so that’s a huge compliment to the flavor of that sandwich. On top of all this, the place is just cool. The atmosphere is so comfortable and inviting, like I could stay all night if I didn’t have to put my kid to bed! 🤣 I just really love this place and I’m so glad to see it added to our neighborhood!!”

“Rarely am I blown away by a dining experience. We came for Sunday AYCE brunch. The food was fantastic and varied, with fresh coffee, sweet & unsweet tea, the works. Chef Kevin is a great conversationalist with some great stories and a legitimate cooking pedigree having worked for a Michelin-starred restaurant in London. The interior was aesthetically pleasing, clean, and organized. Let me reiterate, the food was EXCELLENT. I usually go on Google to give bad reviews, but this was a memorably exceptional meal and very affordably priced for AYCE. I'll add that the chicken pot pie was great, and I'm very picky with this dish as I feel I've mastered it. The chicken was nicely shredded, the gravy was made properly with cream, and the pastry was just perfect.”

We arrived for a late dinner only to discover that the kitchen had already closed, but Peter personally prepared anything he could that did not involve the grill for us and it was absolutely delicious. We had been turned away from a neighboring establishment for the same reason. But Peter went above and beyond to accommodate us! The bartender was very friendly and accommodating as well. Sadly, this is not the norm in a lot of restaurants these days. We will continue to support and promote this fabulous restaurant.”

The Juicy Crab Columbia 1304 Bower Pkwy, Columbia Seafood • $$

“My waitress was Corey a slim light skinned guy with dreads. He was rude the whole night. We first entered the restaurant there was hardly nobody there he told us it will be a 15min wait. So we sat down and waited in about 10mins 3 people passed us and went and sat down so I got up and told him then he rudely seated us. As we ordered he was looking at the game on the television and gave us no eye contact. I asked for 2 unsweet teas 1 with no ice I got two sweet teas, I told him that it was sweet an I wanted unsweetened but my husband said that he would keep his sweet tea. So the waitress picked it up and brought me a sweet tea again this time with ice when I asked for no ice. So the second time I decided to just let it sit there because he seemed upset. I placed my order and asked for an extra side of potatoes, he said they come in 3 so I said ok I want it. Then my husband asked do potatoes come with his order and the waiter said “yes do you want to add extra” my husband said “naw I’m good” when the order came I had only 3 potatoes which is what comes with the order, my husband had four potatoes that’s three that come with the order and one extra. I looked at the receipt and saw that he charged both of us for an extra order of potatoes. I told him that I don’t have an extra order in mine, and that my husband didn’t order an extra side but if he did, he should have gotten three potatoes, not one extra . He said “yes he did ask for extra” we both said no he didn’t. and he ran to the back talking loud i can hear him say “bro I swear they ordered extra potatoes. We don’t say anything else. We know what we ordered he was too busy watching the TV while we were ordering . He brought the ticket to the table and told us we can pay up front. He didn’t say thank you, have a good night or nothing he never looked back our way. he never even apologized for bringing me sweet tea both times with ice. We left him a $10 tip although he didn’t deserve a dime but he could have gotten more. I’m just not the type to leave nothing. His attitude was so nasty I will not go there again!”

“My husband and I went so I could check out the line dancing. The food we ordered was good. The best thing about the experience was our waiter Dayquan. I hope I’m spelling his name right. Anyway he was awesome. Even though the place was crowded he made sure we were taken care of. We really appreciated him.”

Cantina 76 1301 Main St, Columbia Tacos • $

“We own a craft beer and gastropub. Sat at the bar here and our bartender was Katie. She deserves a BIG shoutout. She was very attentive and her timing was on point. Excellent service. There was also a young man behind the bar, we don't know his name, but he also checked with us several times and was great. Katie is a keeper! If she ever leaves, we would hire her in a minute. 😊”
