It's crazy how it took me coming to Columbia, SC to get Cuban food this good. I lived in Miami for…read moreover 15 years and this is the best Cuban I've gotten outside of Miami and New York. I came to Columbia for work. It's a small spot but very warm and inviting. Decorated with traditional Cuban decor and murals. Love the atmosphere. The owner and wait staff are EXTREMELY nice. The food was ON POINT!!!! The croquettas were excellent. I had the Churrasco with white rice and black beans and it was VERY good. My sister had the yuca con mojo and it was SO GOOD!!!! Can't wait to come back for work to try other items on the menu because what I had was amazing.

Seven of our ROMEO group went here for lunch today. It was our first time and we got there about…read more11:15. Fortunately our waitress Lorena got us a table for seven. The restaurant is fairly small with about ten tables (seated for 2 and 4 mostly) with a few bar stools along counters by the window. She took our drink orders. They've got soft drinks, reguar coke and "real coke" with sugar cane from Mexico. She gave us a couple of recommendations and we ended up ordering 2 Cuban sandwiches (very large and very good), 4 orders for the Pan con Bistec and one order for black beans and rice with Pernil. The Bistec sandwiches were also huge, with panini'd Cuban bread and a great flavored steak, but the meat was not tender and you really couldn't eat is like a sandwich...you almost had to cut it with a knife. The black beans and rice looked great and the pork also looked good. I ordered a beef empanada just to try. It was good...pressed beef with a side of thousand Island dipping sauce. Two of the guys ordered them to take home and we had one order for a dessert to take home. The sandwiches were huge and all six of us that ordered them had to take half the sandwich home with us. Atmosphere was a bit loud and had a lot of great Cuban signs and posters. Lorena was excellent as our waitress. I'm sure we'll go back. I've heard the Churrasco steak is excellent. Our overall rating was a 4.3

Our first experience was outstanding and we will return...OFTEN! For starters, our server was a professional. She is working on her 3rd level certification as a sommelier so it was truly a pleasure talking wine and food with her. Her recommendations were spot on all night long. Next, the menu is the most creative in Columbia. This restaurant is more Charleston-like or big city like with its menu options. Our biggest challenge of the night was deciding what to order. My wife ordered the Gnudi with brisket and is still talking about it. I rolled the dice and decided to try the squid ink pasta with lobster as a test, and I can honestly say they got an A++. I've eaten squid ink pasta in some of the best restaurants in New York, Boston and other major cities, and this was the BEST I have ever eaten. I almost didn't write this review because I selfishly don't want to have to fight for a reservation when this place gets busier, but I DO want it to flourish. Columbia needs more restaurants like City Grit. My only suggestion for them is to offer Valet parking because I had to park so far away that I was sweating by the time I walked all the way back to the restaurant after dropping off my wife.Otherwise, this is a fantastic dinner experience!!!

The waiter was so attentive and kind. The ambiance is beautiful.. The restaurant was kind of hot and the wine I chose was hot as well. They were able to chill I quickly but I ended up getting a different wine. I ordered the crab farro, the lobster eel pasta, whipped feta, baked chicken, and wine. I don't think this is a bad restaurant. Maybe I should have tried brunch vs dinner. The smoked chicken was some of the best chicken I have ever had. Tender, Smokey, and bursting with flavor. I did not enjoy the crab farro, I believe it was more grain than crab. The whipped feta was a little tangy for my taste. I am willing to try this restaurant again. Maybe brunch as that was most of the photos I saw.

The staff was amazing and treated our guests with a professionalism seen in 5 star restaurants. The building itself is beautiful as is the entire property. DuPre catering is the owner of the property so they are the exclusive caterer for events held there. Most of our guests were from out of state and they raved about everything. We made sure to have a taste of South Carolina with the shrimp and grits bar. Even the northerners (which there were a lot of) couldn't stop eating this dish. In my opinion, this should be your first and only choice if you need to host/throw a party! Thank you DuPre catering, Ansley Michael and The Hall at Senate's End for helping to make our wedding extra special!!!

On my recent visit, I was able to enjoy one of the best Caesar Salad in recent memory, as well as a delicious Mushroom Soup. However, the highlight had to be the Fish Of The Day. The phenomenal Crab Meat Stuffed NC Rainbow Trout had a wonderful saffron, tomato, and fennel broth with toasted fregola. I am quite shocked at how many good Italian restaurants are in this part of SC, but I am certainly thankful that my best option is not Olive Garden.
