Went to Champagne for Sunday brunch. First issue we had was there was no one at the front door. It…read morewas 3 of us and we literally walked into the main dining area where there were only 2 tables occupied. We stood around waiting for someone to greet us, then we went to the restroom came back out still no one to greet us finally after approx. 10 min of being there someone came out. We had the shrimp and grits and the cornbread waffle , collards and fried fish plate. S & G also had the tiny scallops with 5-6 large shrimps and an absurd amount of grits. 3/5. The plate had pretty good greens but very small amount 4/5, the cornbread waffle taste ok 3/5 but very disproportional to the amount of greens. The fish...0/5. Greasy and overcooked. Based on service and food, I would not recommend for brunch. Other reviews for dinner have more positive feedback.

Nae was attentive, welcoming, and professional. We dove into their Wednesday $20 lamb chop meal (yes, you read that right--tender, juicy, and full of flavor), and their appetizers came out hot and seasoned to perfection. Plus, they offer 25% off all adult beverages until 7:30PM, Wednesday through Friday--and trust me, we took full advantage! The custom cocktails made by Tym were unique and SO good. All while vibing to smooth R&B that kept the mood just right. Grown, sexy, and chill. If you're looking for a place with great food, delicious drinks, and a whole vibe--Champagne is IT. #SupportLocal #ColumbiaEats #ChampagneLounge #BlackOwnedBusiness #BirthdayVibes #RNBandCocktails #LambChopLove

The live band set the tone for the entire night . Smooth, soulful, and engaging--honestly felt like a mini concert while you're dining. The food came through too! The Fly Town Fries were stacked, flavorful, and had just the right kick , and the shrimp quesadilla was crispy, melty, and packed with flavor--definitely a must-order . Everything felt like elevated bar food done right. Drinks were on point--a chilled white Moscato paired perfectly with the meal , light, smooth, and refreshing for the vibe. The crowd was lively, diverse, and really added to the experience--this is definitely a social spot. Great for date night, girls night, or just getting out and enjoying downtown Columbia If you're looking for good music, good eats, and a great atmosphere all in one place, The Joint is it. Definitely coming back!

Perfect place for an amazing dinner right before catching a show! The holiday cocktail menu was…read moreinteresting, but the hubby opted for a smoked bourbon. It delivered on smokiness to the point of entertaining me too! My glass of rose was great, a normal choice for me. The gumbo had excellent flavor and the small whole bird on top was such an interesting presentation. The crispy skin had great flavor as did the chicken itself, complemented the creole flavor of the gumbo perfectly. I hate to admit that the tomato broth, dare I say gravy, kind of stole the flavor show. We both loved it. I nearly forgot I had grilled bread to accompany it as I was spooning up mussels and the delightfully flavorful tomato broth. Service was totally on point until the very end, when getting our check was a bit slow. We had a new server respond to our rescue though, and they did discount our check a bit, which was more than we were expecting. The seating arrangement for us ended up being at a communal long dining table, not a private booth. It wasn't our first date, and we loved being in the middle of the room and watching all of the dishes and drinks flow by. The view of the booth tables by the window would also make for a great view when the street is busy with ample people watching. Great experience, would definitely recommend. Take note, they do not take reservations so either come early or allow time to wait.

Seated 5people just after 1(near opening), with no wait. The food came out hot and fresh and tasty. The least favorite item was the steak bites only because they were thin, tough and not tender. Our favorites were the Brisket hash and we added a waffle that was simply amazing. Very flavorful. We had shrimp and grits, French toast, bacon and eggs. All of the above were flavorful and delicious. We had the Sky Bistro Mimosa Carafe, it was good and strong. Parking is a pain at this location since the nearest parking garage is closed. There is 15% gratuity added to 5+ guest and 20% added to 6+ guest.

We got a Grand Carafe which was only $23 and it was really good to share among 3-4 people, we ordered two so it was great deal. I ordered the smoked brisket hash with sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes and it was really good. The flavor was amazing and I loved the texture of the sweet potatoes because they were cooked perfectly, not mushy or too hard. I def tasted some sweetness and cinnamon which added a nice flavor as well. I wish the brisket wasn't shredded so finely and I did ask for no pepper and onion medley but it was there anyways. It was still really good. My bf had the surf and turf with lamb chops and shrimp and it was cooked perfectly but a taddd salty. It was definitely worth it though. Overall it was great. I'll definitely come back again.

If you are on business travel and you have an alcohol allowance for clients, do it. The rest of Columbia does not have the wallet or the stomach for these kinds of prices. Space is cute but tiny. Good, fast service. Bartender was helpful. It was great, highly recommend if you want to pay for a very private location with low foot traffic. If you need to have a serious conversation or an intimate date, this would be a good option. We wanted to knock it off our Columbia bucket list. Now that it is done, we would not go back due to the cost.

There are no prices on the drinks but they are all average about $18 @ drink for mixers. The cocktail menu had a variety of offerings and had excellent and attentive bartenders and staff. A food menu is available that features Mexican fare from the small Loco Taco restaurant in the ground floor of the hotel.
