Celebration time at Ambrosia Restaurant! We celebrated my Queen shresha’s graduation from USC Aiken, where she earned her Bachelor’sDegreeinAccounting🎉🎉🎉Everything was absolutely amazing. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a special occasion❣️
The food was delicious 😋 the lamb chops, salmon, steak, chicken, and calamari were all cooked to perfection and full of flavor. Every bite was worth it! The service was top-tier. Huge shoutout to my Son-in-love Christopher Hopkins for putting everything together ❤️
If you’re looking for great food, great vibes, and a place to celebrate life’s special moments, Ambrosia is the spot. Highly recommend!

The food is great and the service is good. The only thing I have to complain about is the price. I paid over $30 for lunch, that is high even for dinner. Definitely the kind of place for a once in a long while special meal with special people, not a place to go for lunch or dinner every week or even month.

Was at a reception for my granddaughter Oct. 18 and this restaurant and bar was great. The orzo was the best I have had, and the Greek potatoes were out of this world. I could have ate those two items and been very happy. My wife had the salmon, and she said it was great.

Went to a reception for my granddaughter on Oct. 18, 2025. This is a beautiful restaurant and bar. The bartenders were great. The food was even better. The orzo is the best I've had. The Greek potatoes were out of this world. I could make a meal out of the orzo and potatoes. I'm not a fish eater but my wife said the salmon was the best she has had.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had the most amazing experience planning my daughter’s wedding reception at Ambrosia Taverna! The event staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect — they were friendly, attentive, and professional from start to finish. The food was absolutely incredible, especially the salmon, which our guests are still talking about! Every detail was handled beautifully, and the evening couldn’t have been more special. Highly recommend for any event or celebration!

CHOOSE AMBROSIA! Stop scrolling and eat here! They cook with LOVE. Truly. The homemade bread, oil and balsamic to start with fed the soul. The greek salad is delicious. Our whole family enjoyed every single thing that we ordered and the service was amazing. So genuinely kind and attentive! You will be so happy to have stopped here! EnJOY. 😋

This restaurant is the toast of downtown Columbia. Staff is awesome, friendly and hardworking to make sure you have a wonderful dining experience. The atmosphere is amazing. This restaurant is beautiful throughout. Even the bathroom is marvelous! Service is top notch! Our waitress was on the ball, we didn't want for nothing. Chef Alex came to check on us and ask if we enjoyed our lunch. The restaurant is clean throughout. This place is a prototype of how you should operate a restaurant. Quality of the food is excellent. Vegetables were fresh and everything on my Platter was delicious and tantalizing to my palate. We enjoyed our lunch immensely. Beautiful decorations and the entire place is welcoming and comforting. Keep of the great job everyone. Ask for Chef Alex to come out and make recommendations for your meal. You will be treated like royalty.
