    The food was absolutely delicious and service was attentive. Unfortunately we were right next to the kitchen which added to the background noise which was already a bit elevated. We were still able to have conversations without much trouble. I've been there several times and plan to return again.

    Music was loud in our original table, but they graciously let us choose a quieter spot. That’s very hard for people with hearing aids. The BEST cream of crab soup in my life. Extra crab was worth it!

    The food was excellent. We had the Short Rib, Tuna with sweet potato wonton and Wild Boar schnitzel We all tasted them all and it was very well prepared with great flavors. Try the WASP cocktail. Excellent spicy from the jalapeno. Waiter was attentive and engaging. Pricey but worth it.

    Food and service were great as usual. Music sound level was a bit too much this time.

    I had more expectations from food market after reading all the reviews. However, the food tasted stale, the ambiance was ok. Service was good. But I feel like if the food tasted better I would have given a higher rating

    Great vibe tucked hidden away in an office building right next to Columbia Mall. Everything was perfect

    Entire experience was a bit mediocre. While some of the food was good, some was made incorrectly or missing items. Our table of 4 seemed like an afterthought for our server, she disappeared for long periods of time. This was our first time at the Columbia location, a much different experience here than at the Hampden location.
