Super tender and great flavor. I don't recall the waiters name, and one of our parties order came out wrong (we did not mention it because all of the food was out, and well, what are you gonna do?), but we were overall very happy with his service. A nice young man. The overall vibe of the place was really nice as well. The staff seemed happy, and the customers all seemed happy. Would most definitely return.“

I got the chocolate chip cookies with the toasted smores ice cream, while he got the salted caramel ice cream with the gooey buttered cookie. He got his warmed and he loved it. He said the cookie was super good and went well with the ice cream. I also really enjoyed mine, the cookies had great flavor! They even offer brownie sandwiches which could have been tasty.

“We had a great time here for my husbands Christmas party. We had never been and were excited to try a new place in Columbia. The idea of using an old airport hangar is amazing, I love repurposing of old buildings. The party was hosted in the private section of the restaurant, we had great service at the bar. My husband specifically loves one beer so he was a bit disappointed but he loved his mixed drink. He said that this is one of the only places where the bartender makes his favorite correctly. I loved the wine selection and enjoyed my sangria. The homemade pizza was delicious! It had a great tasting crust and sauce! We loved the pizza. The atmosphere was great, we loved the decor and especially how pretty it was for the Christmas holiday. We definitely will be visiting again!“

“Today was my second time shopping at Rosewood market. The people are super friendly. The store itself is "eat off the floor clean". Love that part..The produce looks and is really fresh, you'd want to pick it up and start eating. I was looking for celery which I got and chicken sausage patties, they did have the patties but did have links. I ended up with apple cider ginger which was cheaper than any other store. Karob covered peanuts, to die for, they didn't make it home.They also have a deli section, a wine section, candles and lava lamps. Any kind of healthy skincare that you can think of. Hair products, candles, incense.Healthcare items. I know I've named a lot of things, but please, this is a don't miss out on store!“

“Busy Sunday Brunch with Mixed Results -We visited Tazza Kitchen for brunch on Sunday around 1:30 PM. The restaurant was initially busy but cleared out quickly. While we were seated promptly, our server didn't inquire about drinks and seemed more focused on closing up, as they close earlier on Sundays.The breakfast burger was delicious, but the Baja bowl lacked flavor and seasoning. Unfortunately, our waiter forgot our Bloody Mary order. Overall, it seemed like the staff was ready to end their shift.On a positive note, once we were able to get someone's attention, they were happy to help. Salt and pepper shakers were missing from our table, but a staff member readily provided them when requested.“

The wait staff is polite, informative, and give just the right amount of service... and not hovering. Each time we have eaten here, the manager checks in with us to make sure everything is as it should be. Perhaps it was the last time we ate here, I happened to forget an unusual drinking cup. I was totally surprised when today the waitress saw I had a similar one with me and inquired if I might have left one behind. They kept it safe for a few weeks and returned it to me! #10+ for that service!“
