    Camarones al Ajillo.
    David C.

    In terms of the locality, this is somewhere between a hidden gem and the best that you will find. While I prefer to be complimentary, I consider it imperative to foremost maintain impartiality and fairness: and in kind, I must assign a score of between 2.5 to 2.75 stars. While "closer" to 3 stars than 2 stars, I do not consider it to meet the bar necessary to afford 3 stars; nor does it meet instinctive nor hardened criteria for "grading up". Accordingly, I must be seemingly harsh here. With that said, I *do* recommend dining here if traveling through the area; though I would not suggest a) going out of your way to dine here; nor b) changing plans if you already have another place or destination in mind. While the Happy Hour is fairly priced and a good opportunity to try a great array of dishes as well as enjoy some strong libations, quality of ingredients, execution, and consistency are all quite variable with a median of 2.6 and an average of 2.5. Seasoning, overcooking, and heating issues were quite rife; and while the quality and freshness of some items was more attractive, I could not hold that sentiment across the board. I was more than a little sore over a $26 entree that was suggested as being quite good, but was rough and lacking flavor, moisture and tenderness, and that j'ene sais quoi that makes a good meat dish, good. I refer here to the rack of lamb. While it may be attractive to drink a lot given the price margins, especially as someone from perhaps an adjacent area that usually sees higher cost, I would caution against that given 1) how busy the traffic in this area can be; and 2) as a reminder that you still need to get home; and this area isn't exactly "on the metro". Likewise, the service, while perhaps short-staffed, is friendly, affable, and conversant. The vibe is quite relaxed, and is opportune for striking up conversations with locals and other passers-by. While I can see a lot of what the restaurant is going for, my recommendation would be to 1) downsize the menu; 2) downsize the seating; 3) modernize in concept, presentation, ingredients, and dishes; and 4) not bring out all the desserts to "show" clientele when trying to suggest a dessert. The logic of the latter is quite dated, and if an item should not look entirely fresh nor presentable (both of which is the case when I visited), this may not only put off the customer from dessert; but may invoke a comprehensively lower appreciation of the experience. While the ambiance could modernize as well, I kind of dig the dive/sports bar vibe; especially given the locality. But menu and intent must fit the ambiance. I wish the owner and staff success, and appreciate their hospitality.

    First timer, good happy hour deals . They food was great and our bartender friendly.

    Beautiful dining room
    Esther L.

    We love this place and it's our local bar! The bartenders and servers are all so friendly and make you feel welcome right away. The food is yummy and the inside is gorgeous. The bar area is separate and beautiful with lots of large screens for sports. The restaurant part is beautiful with tables that are set back in like a semi-private area. There's also a huge banquet room perfect for receptions. The prices are reasonable and food is great. As locals this is our spot and we go for happy hour a lot. Love that it's quiet and not overly crowded. Plus there's plenty of parking!

    We had stopped by one evening on our way home for dinner and while we were enjoying our meal the manager ,Ana, stopped by our table . We got to chatting and then mentioned that we were recently engaged. When she showed us the banquet room, we decided to have our wedding here. Ana was wonderful in helping us plan our big event. The banquet room was ideal for our needs and the buffet packages were in our price range. The food was delicious and the service was great. Our wedding was everything we hoped for! Thanks Ana!

    Bacalhau Assado

    Ive been to this place pre covid and enjoyed their brunch. I brought my family this time to try out their dinner. Dinner was delicious! I had Bacalhau Assado. A huge serving. It took me 3 days to finish it. My husband had their Linguini Terra Mar and enjoyed it as well. My only gripe was the service. I understand staffing is an issue at lots of restaurants but my poor server was running around frantically serving multiple tables. She was so sweet. I also saw several waiters just hanging out. I don't know if they were maybe monitoring something but it looked like the workload was not properly spread out.

    This past Saturday, we had our wedding and reception at the Columbus Grill. From our first meeting with the manager, Anna, we have been impressed. The food delicious, the service impeccable, and the venue beautiful. If you are in the market for a reasonably priced venue for a reception, wedding, party, check out the Grill. Thank you Columbus Grill staff for making our wedding magical!!

    We had our wedding here about two weeks ago and we couldn't have made a better choice. Ana was very helpful, we had a lot of questions and she made time to help us plan accordingly. We had about 70 guests and all of them really enjoyed the food and there was even some left to take to go! The waitresses were attentive the whole night refilling drinks, cleaning plates, and refilling food. Everything came out so beautiful with the help of Ana, she even brought decorations in from home to make it look amazing. Do not hesitate to book events or eat here because the food and service is amazing. I am extremely happy with how everything turned out.

    Me and my fiancée threw our engagement party at the banquet hall and it was a blast. Appetizers, food, drinks, decoration, seating organization, host, waitresses. Everything was great. For our appetizers we had bacon wrapped shrimp, chicken crostini, seafood empanada, and calamari. Each item was delicious, with the standout for me being the bacon wrapped shrimp and the seafood empanadas. The entrees were equally good with the garlic glazed chicken, roast beef, chicken Alfredo, and fish filets. Everything was homemade and delicious. I'm soooo glad I had my party here. However, none of this would be possible without Ana. She was the mvp and made sure everything ran smoothly and I can't thank her enough for such a memorable night.

    February 3rd 2023 was the date of my little sisters Quinceñera (15th birthday) at Columbus Grill. My family and I planned this event very last minute. We only had a couple of weeks to plan. This would not have been possible without the help of the event coordinator, Ana! She helped us every step of the way. She was very patient, flexible, and kind. Ana and the Columbus Grill staff provided exceptional service! The venue was large and fit our 45 guests, a DJ, and a dance floor. Ana helped with the decorations (pictures shown). She helped pick the food which was delicious. She provided the best customer service. Ana attended to each guest in a kind and professional manner. Thank you to everyone at Columbus Grill who made this day very special and the best celebration of all time! My family and I definitely recommend this restaurant and venue to anyone who wants to celebrate a wedding or birthday!

    Portuguese salad and complimentary bread
    Janice Y.

    Huge space with plenty of seating in the main dining room and bar area. They have a great Happy Hour selection available in the bar area. The food is quite tasty as well. Some of my personal recommendations would be the Bitoque, Francesihna, Portuguese salad, and Tropical salad. The dressing for the Tropical salad is so yummy! Honestly, their salads are so good here, I feel like you can't go wrong with any salad you pick. The staff members are very accommodating and warm. I've never had a bad experience with service. You can see how much the manager really cares about the business and customers by the way she interacts with the guests and staff members.

    If you go to Columbus' bar on a Friday night, make sure to ask for Kat Estrada if she's available. Best bartender in Manassas.
