The Joint @ 1710 Main in Columbia is one of those spots that effortlessly blends good food, live…read moremusic, and a whole vibe Walking in, you immediately feel the energy--dim lighting, chandeliers, and a packed room full of people enjoying themselves. 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!

Food and service were amazing and the service was good also. Cute establishment with great vibes…read more Music/Dj, hookah, bar, plenty of seating. 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 came for brunch because my bf said the menu looked good so we tried it out. He's been here at…read morenight before and said it was pretty cool for a lounge. 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.

Came here after the lil Wayne concert as t was advertised on Eventbrite as the "ONLY" after party…read morespot in South Carolina. My wife and I spent $50 per person on Eventbrite to skip the line instead of $20 general admission. We got there around 12 am after the concert let out and there was literally like 10 people in line ( they scammed my a$$), no need to skip. They were charging $40 at the door for general admission. Got there and it was dead . Pros, coming from ATL and paying a lot to hangout it was very cheap to party here. The wifey and I had 3 drinks a peace ( Ciroc/ sprite and Crown/ Red Bull ) and 2 lemon drop shots. We also has 30 wings, nachos and seafood dip and I only spent $77 that was with gratuity included . I had to add and extra $50 tip. Our waitress was super cool, music was good and we got the souther hospitality vibe and treatment.

Came in with high hopes but left underwhelmed. I ordered the Cajun chicken pasta, but it came out…read moremore like a soup. It was so watered down. The bartender looked completely overwhelmed, even though it wasn't that busy, and I waited way too long just to get a drink. The atmosphere inside was oddly dark and uncomfortably hot, which didn't help the overall vibe. Definitely expected better.

I made my way to Blue Tapas Bar & Cocktail Lounge to take part in their all-you-can-eat crab legs…read morespecial. For $19.95 you get all the crab legs you can stomach and is truly a great deal. The crab legs were all served nice and fresh with ample butter. You also get a side of fries and 2 hush puppies when you order the crab special. In addition to the crab, I also recommend their Sweet Tea Mojito! This drink was SO good. For those that like mojitos, you know that a place can either get it right or fail miserably. I'm happy to say that Blue is one of the places in Columbia that gets this drink perfectly. The drawback to giving this place 5 stars is the location is nearly impossible to find. You're safe parking in the lot behind M Vista because Blue is tucked between M Vista and Wild Wing Cafe. I also have to give lower marks because they ran out of serving forks for the crab. Yes, it was an all-you-can-eat crab night but the place was hardly packed so not having utensils was unacceptable. They run their crab promotion Tuesday and Saturday nights from 5p-9p. I've also heard they have a great happy hour Mon-Fri 5p-7p with half off all drinks and appetizers. I'll definitely be returning here.

This place is basically a gimmick. They have a variety of tapas but the quality is pretty low…read more Empanadas are greasy, portions are small even for tapas, and the service was so bad it was funny. The hostess showed up with food we didn't order multiple times asking us if we had it and we then saw her try to foist it on several other tables before finding the rightful owners. I didn't realize that giving tables numbers and informing the servers of it was complex technology. The server disappeared for huge stretches of time and was distracted when she was at the table. She would take an order and then return 5 minutes later saying she forgot what we ordered. The bartender had never heard of a Sidecar and thus couldn't make one. Really? I stuck with gin and tonic as their "signature" cocktails all appeared to be variations on fake mojitos and martinis based around various flavored vodkas. The worst part was when the server presented the bill and took our card plus a coupon as payment. She stayed away for at least 10 minutes after we had mentioned we were in a hurry. When she returned, she had charged us 3 times as much as the bill we were presented without our authorization because she said that the coupon negated the happy hour pricing. She went out of her way to say that if we had told her we had it, she would have let us know. I said that I had notified her of the coupon directly after she told us about the happy hour special and she just said it was fine and she would take it when we were done. When I reminded her of this she just said she was sorry and forgot to mention that we couldn't use the coupon with happy hour. We were in too much of a hurry to argue over it. There are so many better places in Columbia for drinks and appetizers. If you like overly sweet "martinis" that you can put down on a piece of ice, then have a ball at blue. If you want decent cocktails, good food, and acceptable service, go somewhere else.

Really the only option after a conference in the hotel. They had the tvs on for football which was…read moregood - the one thing to mention would be that the bartender was very nice. Outside of that the food was lacking and the waiter we had seemed to just be a beat off. I had the wings which were good. But nothing special. Two of my colleagues had "made to order" soups but they were not happy with their orders. Its one of those places where you get what you expect, we had to go there, but it would have been a nice surprise to be surprised.

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.
