Inside
Marci N.

B Colsons is everything I love in a dining experience. Great steaks, amazing cocktails, it's crowded but sedate. Presentation and plating of food is on point as is the service. You know before you taste the steak it will be seasoned to perfection and it will melt in your mouth. It is amazing to relax and enjoy a perfectly prepared meal . The Ceasar salad comes with a honey butter croissant, that added sweetness to complement the perfect side salad. Now you know why there are lines to get in this place.

The salad that was a win
Wesley T.

They sit on a prominent corner of Broad St. in Camden, SC, in a beautiful brick building with a small patio out front. The curb appeal is fantastic, & stepping inside reveals a large, open, upscale space. I was greeted by a friendly hostess who said, "How are y'all doing tonight?" then, "Do y'all have reservations?" I replied, "I'm by myself & no, I don't." (Maybe she thought I had a mouse in my pocket, given all the y'alls.) She said, "Oh, we don't have any tables available, but the bar does." I said, "Well, I guess it's the bar," & she just pointed: "Okay, right over there"--no walk over, no further direction. The bar wraps around a service well--one side faces the kitchen, the other the front. I sat with my back to the kitchen, facing the dining room. There were booths nearby that stayed empty the whole time, but I wasn't told if they were available. A trained hostess would've clarified or offered options. Most guests--especially solo--would've preferred a soft booth over a hard wooden bar chair. Instead, I was dismissed with a vague gesture & left to figure it out. Thankfully, the bartender was great--warm, friendly, efficient. I told her I wasn't drinking, just hungry. She brought unsweet tea & a menu. I ordered a ribeye, medium, with green beans & their house side salad (customized: no onions or tomatoes). The salad was good--spring mix with apple slices & cranberries. Dressing was served on the side; I added it myself at the table. A solid house salad. The soup & salad came out together, delivered by a woman I assume was a manager. She didn't look at me, didn't speak--just loudly chatted with another server as she set both down in front of the barstool to my left. She slid over a fork, knife, & napkin, then walked off mid-conversation. It felt careless, not classy. Small note: they give you one fork, so you're expected to reuse your salad fork for your entrée--not exactly fine dining behavior. The soup? No clue what it was supposed to be. Bartender said it wasn't like steak & ale. It looked like chowder but tasted like pork. It was lukewarm & unevenly heated, like it had been microwaved--hot on one side, cool on the other. The kitchen behind me sounded completely overwhelmed. The chef kept yelling for fried egg rolls. Not once did I hear "heard" or any sign of organized kitchen communication. To my left was a makeshift manager's station--laptop, papers, two managers. One of them, maybe the GM or owner, was loudly chatting with her, dropping the f-bomb repeatedly. I don't know if it was about a guest or employee, but it was inappropriate--especially sitting next to a customer. I looked directly at them to make it clear I could hear everything. Finally, he looked up & asked, "How is everything?" I said, "Well, to be honest, the steak's a little overcooked." He vanished. The manager muttered something to the bartender--"that seems to be happening"--then they both stared at me. The bartender, staying composed, asked, "Can I get you another steak?" I said no--I just needed protein, I was hungry, & I'd eat it. The steak looked nice with butter on top, but it was thin--under 1/2 inch--and way overcooked. It had clearly been under a heat lamp too long. The edges were curled, texture was chewy, & though technically a ribeye, it lacked marbling or flavor. Maybe an ounce of fat on the edge, but not enough to help. The green beans, however, were great--served hot & perfectly cooked with a fresh, crisp bite. As I left, about 10 min before closing, a couple walked in. The hostess looked annoyed, checked her watch, & sighed as she walked past me. Says a lot about front-of-house attitude. It's a stunning space with serious potential--but they've got work to do. The service was chaotic, the kitchen overwhelmed, the steak disappointing. With proper staff training, better communication, & upgraded food sourcing, they could become the refined experience they're clearly trying to be. For now, the looks outshine the substance.

Great restaurant! Steaks are amazing! Love that an old building has been refurbished into a beautiful place. Tristan was a wonderful server giving great suggestions from the menu and keeping our glasses full. We will definitely be back!

Ribeye

Food was awesome, a very nice upscale restaurant! Had ribeye. Also had the Banana foster desert - outstanding. The only negative was that it took about 15-20 min to get any waiter/waitress to stop at table after being seated. Once a waitress finally stopped , she took drink orders and she was very friendly and speedy the rest of the night.
