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.

During the summer, I suggest any evening except Monday. Staff, especially the bartenders, are sociable and courteous. Impressed that they stocked Pappy bourbon and Amaro Nonino. Service exceptional, prices reasonable. Ask for the specials. If they have it, order the She Crab Soup. It's the best I ever had. I did want to mention the live music. The pianist I experienced was exceptional. Music really added to the restaurants ambience. My only suggestion is expanding the menu.

Aside from that and being seated twice. It was awesome seeing Laura in a manager position. As I said in a previous review that FEEL GOOD SHOT is LIFE! I ordered a flight of just that plus two! Well worth it! Although my waitress tried to update me a mocktail in a mug, and honestly when I saw it, straight NO. Ordered the Crispy Brussel sprouts, first batch came out burnt (from sight to smell you could tell). Immediately sent them back without touching them and got a fresh batch expedited by Laura. Proceeded to order the Lunch Break honey pecan chicken salad and tomato soup for my mother she loved everything but the shredded Romain lettuce chunks. I ordered the Salmon with green beans and breakfast potatoes. Unfortunately the green beans were swimming in a greasy liquid, so substituted more Brussel sprouts. The sweet potato pancakes were delicious and crispy edged. Last who ever made that salmon is top tier, crispy seared outside, yet flaky moist inside! Third time a charm!

The bartenders and waitstaff were the absolute best. We had approximately 100 people in our party and they kept up with the demand. The place is a vibe and the food is AMAZING!

Filled with chunks of crab and shrimp in a rice ball that is perfectly fried and topped with an amazing cream sauce...so good I ordered it twice!

Came with a nice cooling dill sauce that was so delicious. Took a star away cuz it was super salty but luckily saved by the dill sauce and water. Fried catfish: 4 stars. one of the best batter for fried fish. The batter on top was think and crispy and light so you couldn't taste the oils. Wish they split into 2 or three pieces instead of the jug piece. Because the piece was thick and big the bottom was soggy so minus the one star.

Once you get a clue it definitely helps to figure out the direction you should be headed in. I like that you don't get penalized for using clues like some escape rooms do. The game was really fun and figuring out the clues was fun as well. The only hiccup was that one of the piece was missing from one of our puzzles but we were still able to proceed past it. I will say that for those with vision issues - this escape option has very low lighting. But we adapted just fine. The staff were very professional and accommodating. The ambiance of the facility was great. This location is easy to fine and free parking. Very clean establishment. The typical steam punk decor that I've noticed with Escapology locations. We escaped with just a few minutes remaining!!! Would highly recommend for a date night, fun night out with friends, etc. They have kid friendly rooms too like Scooby doo.

On my last visit to hang with the family (Sept 2025), my youngest niece was invited to the birthday…read moreparty of one of her peers @ Escapology. We decided to book a separate escape room for the rest of the fam and make it a girls outing, while the adolescent was enjoying the festivities. This made the best usage of time, especially since we had to drop her off and pick her up anyway. So, I booked the "Under Pressure" room for four, and it was a few dollars less than $175. When booking online the night before I realized some of the more popular times and sort after rooms were unavailable. Times slots for a few rooms became sold out as I was trying to book. Nonetheless, I mange to complete the purchase and have the liability waivers completed. This visit to Escapology is my 3rd Escape room while visiting the Columbia area and one of the nicer ones on just first impressions, location and parking. The staff was extremely friendly and the waiting/reception area was nicely themed and designed. Upon arrival we were checked and asked to wait while the room was prepared. Once our room was ready we were escorted to the start, giving directions & safety instructions, and then the clock was started. Of course they ask that you do not take videos/photos to not expose any clues to the game. The room was clean and the clues were mostly straight forward. We ended with a victory and escaped with merely seconds to spare. However, there were a few inconsistencies with the order of clues and we encounter a couple of missing or broken pieces/steps in the process of solving the puzzles and escaping. This has happened to me before (with another company) it can be frustrating and cause you not to beat the clock, but like I said we managed to succeed. Albeit by the skin of our teeth. Lol Overall we enjoyed the room and took our victory photos after. We were given rubber bracelets marking our achievement of beating the room. They have bracelets for each room and offer patrons the challenge of completing and collecting them all. After completion they offer a return promo/discount if you book your next escape room the same day. It's recommended if you enjoyed it because you get a little break on the price and I believe you can book it up to six months out. Just A Note: -If coming with a group I will recommend booking early. -If possible, I suggest that one person books for everyone to ensure getting the room and time you prefer. (Recommended but not required)

My love and I recently visited Hanabi Hibachi & Sushi and wanted to leave an honest review…read more The customer service was excellent. Supervisor Tony, along with Courtney and Cat, were very professional, courteous, attentive, and welcoming throughout the visit. Their hospitality truly stood out and made for a pleasant dining experience. Unfortunately, the food left much to be desired. The kale salad was very dry, and the kale appeared to have been simply taken from the bag without being properly massaged or prepared, making it extremely tough to eat. The wings were undercooked, lacked flavor, and the drinks tasted watered down. While the customer service was superb, it unfortunately did not make up for the bland and poorly prepared food. Sadly, this will be our last visit unless significant improvements are made to the quality and preparation of the food. I truly hope the kitchen improves because the front-of-house staff are doing an outstanding job.

There was a family that came in after us and got their appetizer, entrees and check all during the time it took for them to bring out our own food.

Our waiter was nice and polite however when I was looking for someone to check up on our food I saw the cooks playing around in the kitchen and throwing food. And honestly I wouldn't really care if they did that but it's the fact that our food still wasn't done. I also saw the sushi guy eat off of someone plate "testing" the sushi...that's disgusting. There was also shit all over the toilets in the bathroom.
