Food was wonderful and wait staff accommodated solutions to any issues that arose. Old school app and entree choices, as they seem to be disappearing from most menus...which is a refreshing plus. They seen to have alot of regulars and return customers. Will probably use their corkage policy to due my food pairing with older wines. Warm and cozy with well lit dining spaces, as well. Quite happy overall.

The Columbia restaurant is always a winner! We had a fabulous meal and Jack was an exceptional waiter. We love the food, the atmosphere and the value. My husband always starts with the exceptional black bean soup, I had the empanadas yum! We both had Grouper. Rounded out our meal with key lime pie ( a generous slice) and the tres amigos churros, delicious 😋 we highly recommend and we will be back!

It was lovely. We sat at the chef’s table, which was fun. We met another lovely couple there. Tasted as much as we could, want to try things we just didn’t have the capacity for. Very special place, unique, opportunity for every appetite.
