Quirky atmosphere — in a good way. Food was outstanding and the service on point.Portions a bit small given the price but overall still 5 stars.

Arguably the best restaurant in Columbia. No gimmicks, claims and over priced food. ALWAYS great service, ALWAYS great food and ALWAYS a fair price. We’ve been coming here for as long as I can remember. Never a bad experience.

Since 1995, we have been serving New Southern Cuisine in a sophisticated, yet casual environment using only the freshest ingredients and simple preparations. There are always fresh fish and seafood specials, as well as innovative meat, poultry, and wild game dishes. We utilize numerous local farms and purveyors for our menus and weekly specials.
