Today could not have been more perfect. My husband and I had reservations for our Thanksgiving date at The Hampton Street Vineyard for their Thanksgiving dinner. The entire experience was truly beautiful. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by pleasant, professional staff who set the tone for an exceptional evening. The host who seated us was especially welcoming. Her presence and demeanor were outstanding, and I genuinely hope she is the head host, as she would be an excellent trainer. She is truly an asset to the business.
Our server was equally wonderful, approachable, kind, conversational, and attentive in all the right ways. Although this was our first visit, we felt as if we had been regulars for years. We also appreciated being seated in the wine room, which offered a more intimate atmosphere and made the experience even more memorable.
The three-course meal was unforgettable. Although we don’t eat meat, every dish was incredibly flavorful and satisfying. My indulgence was the Merlot paired with:
I am absolutely requesting the recipes for the collards, stuffing, beets and Sweet Potato Bread Pudding! Haha. Each one was outstanding. Well done to the entire establishment. We will definitely be returning…and of course, parking is plentiful on a holiday! A wonderful and seamless experience in every way. Happy Thanksgiving!

First time trying this place, and it was absolutely AMAZING! We visited for Restaurant Week, and the menu was beautifully crafted. Mrs. Ann provided exceptional, professional service, and the atmosphere felt intimate and inviting—even with how busy it was. We’ll definitely be back and can’t wait to share this spot with more friends!

Came here for a coworkers birthday dinner and it happened tp be restaurant Week. Reservations are highly recommended and parking may be hard to find somewhere give yourself plenty of time. Service was excellent, server was well vwrsed on the menu and had wonderful wine suggestions. It was a very busy night because of restaurant Week, but the food cane out in a reasonable amount of time amd was cooked as ordered. The 3 course meal was well worth the price and I will be coming back.

Wonderful experience. We went for Restaurant Week and had a wonderful experience. French Onion Soup, Pear Salad, Salmon, and Short Ribs. 👌❤️👌❤️👌
The server was trying his best despite how busy it was being restaurant week. However, the short-rib was incredibly underwhelming. Brussels and carrots were hard, salty but besides that little flavor. We had a 6:15 reservation and entrees didn’t hit the table until 8:00. Waiting over an hour and a half for this just doesn’t seem worth it. In my opinion, there are much better options in Columbia. Perhaps the event week was the reason for the quality but despite that, I’m certainly disappointed with the preparation. However, our server did the best he could considering the circumstances so I can’t put any fault on him.

We came here tonight to celebrate a birthday. The food was absolutely delicious — everything we ordered was well-prepared and thoroughly enjoyable. Unfortunately, the attitude from the staff did not match the quality of the food.
Our server and the bartender were not particularly friendly or receptive, even when we tried to make light conversation. It wasn’t about how the table was managed — orders were taken and food was delivered — but rather the lack of warmth or hospitality that made the evening feel awkward rather than celebratory. Toward the end of the night, we ordered a dessert to-go after enjoying it at the table, but the to-go order was missing the whipped cream and berries that were part of the dish.
Our tab was over $500, with an additional 25% gratuity added on top. At that price point, we expected not just great food, but also a welcoming and attentive experience. While the dishes were excellent, the overall attitude from the staff left us feeling disappointed, which was not how we hoped to end a special occasion.

We had a wonderful experience! The service was excellent, food was so good! We had the steak and it was cooked perfectly and flavorful! We went for my birthday and didn’t stay for dessert but they boxed one up and even taped a candle on the top! So cute! We’d definitely go back.

My sister and I went to a very late dinner here on a Wednesday night. We had tried another restaurant before coming to Hampton Street Vineyard, but it was crowded, loud, and unfriendly. We decided to try the Vineyard and arrived approximately 40 minutes before closing. The restaurant was cozy and the staff was welcoming. Damien,our server, was friendly, knowledgeable about each of the dishes, and patient with us while we decided what we wanted to order. He made a few recommendations when we asked, and we ordered two of the entrees he recommended. The food was sublime! It was unique, fresh and expertly prepared and we left nothing on our plates. Despite being full after our phenomenal dinner, we had to share one of their desserts. It did not disappoint! I highly recommend this restaurant.

The three-course meal was unforgettable. Although we don’t eat meat, every dish was incredibly flavorful and satisfying. My indulgence was the Merlot paired with:
1st Course
Sherry Roasted Beets
smoked almonds, citrus, crispy sprout leaves, crème fraîche
2nd Course
Citrus-Brined Slow-Roasted “Turkey” Plate
andouille cornbread stuffing, braised collards, jalapeño-orange cranberry sauce, roasted shallot gravy (We skipped the turkey, but the sides were exceptional.)
3rd Course
Sweet Potato Bread Pudding
charred marshmallow, toffee sauce, candied pecans
I am absolutely requesting the recipes for the collards, stuffing, beets and Sweet Potato Bread Pudding! Haha. Each one was outstanding. Well done to the entire establishment.
