Food was fine but the service was absolutely AWFUL!!!! We waited almost an hour to place our order and another hour to get our food. For a nice restaurant we were incredibly disappointed.

Cute spot, had a 5 pm reservation, ordered drinks and our meal by 5.10, drinks came quickly, appetizers by 5.45. Dinner didn't show up till 6.45. Escargot were ok, but bland. Mussels weren't warm when they came and also bland. Trout was good but the server said it was going to be a whole trout and it was only a small fillet. Also very bland. The steak frites was pretty good, well cooked but super bland also, carrots with no seasoning. I think they took all the seasoning from everything we ordered and just put it in the French onion soup which was crazy salty. Drinks were good and it was a lovely spot.

Amazing service and food! I was there for a birthday dinner. I had an amazing drink at the bar while waiting on my party. Our waiter Damien was attentive and did a great job handling our party of 8.

Lovely dining experience. Knowledgeable and courteous staff. Mixed drinks were delicious. Tried new varieties of wine, and they were splendid. French onion soup had a beautiful depth of flavor. Steak was well prepared and tender. Muscle dish was splendid. Only hiccup was the creme brulee, having the texture of flan instead of a smooth yogurt experience. Would return for another meal in a heartbeat.

QUALITY CRAVER
Honest review: Crab Cake hearty and good flavor. Mussels I don’t believe they tried with this one essentially flavorless broth with soggy fries. The French Onion Soup the same, watered down broth little flavor except for salt and burnt beef. The crawfish deviled eggs were so so if you like deviled eggs. The pork chop entree overcooked and dry. The short rib was much better, tender (as it should be) but not the best I’ve had.Biggest negatives were the wine pours. My glass along with the other diners was below the level of a standard pour. I heard another diner tell her companion the same. As someone with experience in the industry it was upsetting to receive a glass 1/4 of the way full. Our waiter did not smile or have a welcoming attitude. I usually don’t mind if service is subpar because I dine for the food. In this case worth mentioning. From my observation not all waiters at this restaurant were the same.
We have been here before and it was cute. We had a reservation tonight for 8:30pm. They "checked us in" and we waited over a half hour to be seated. We were not served our entrees until close to 10:30pm. Our waitress was doing her best but...nobody offered us a complimentary glass of wine or anything for this ridiculous wait. We did ask for a glass for the table and they brought it out. The food was good. Not great and definitely not worth a 2 hour wait. We will not be back as this place is very poorly run. We watched a few people walk out. We probably should have done the same.

I love love love this place! One of my favorite restaurants in columbia. The owner has one of the highest levels of Somalia certifications in the country, so the wines and pairings are the best you’ll find in columbia… if not the state. I keep forgetting about it as a brunch option and finally tried it today. All of our dishes were fantastic. Loved the fried Brie but will be sure to ask for bread with it next time! The eggs Benedict were table favorites.The service is always top tier, and the food is consistently delicious. I hear they are open to feedback so if you can’t give them 5 stars, call them. Let’s support great local restaurants by bringing attention to the good ones.

Steak frites were amazing and the crème brûlée was just perfect! Definitely recommend. Our waiter was so friendly and down to earth. The ambiance was perfect for date night with my husband.
