We love this place. The food, the view, and the fact that you can have brunch or lunch or both! The service was a little neglectful on this recent visit. We had to search for a server for ice-tea refills. This hasn't happened before to such an extent, so perhaps it was just a bad day. Otherwise, hands-down, the best brunch we've found in Columbia.

We took my mom out for her birthday and had a great time. The food was really good. We loved being able to see the entire area of Columbia with a Birdseye view. The servers did a great job. Everything was clean and well stocked and delicious.

Terrific service and food (which is a high-quality buffet). View is one-of-a-kind in rotating restaurant! Special call-out to staff, which provided extra attentive service. Good value, too!!
