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!

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.

The cocktails were the star of the night - ranging from $11 to $13 - both their classics and house creations were well balanced and worth trying. Table service was provided with attentive wait staff who weren't overbearing. The only miss for the night was the food. While certain items like the fries and the Brussels sprouts were great, other items like the burger and duck tacos didn't hit the mark with a burger that was too dry and overly charred and the tacos which were too gamey and could have used a some more acid. For a drink I'd certainly visit again, but would likely pass on food.

He absolutely raved about his sandwich and said it was the best he ever had. I wouldn't order the lobster mac again but it was presented beautifully. I look forward to going back and trying the mussels. I saw many of those orders coming out and definitely looked so good! Great spot to check out for drinks, desserts, and a bite!

Pair that with really solid, well-crafted drinks and you've got a place that's easy to settle into and hard to leave.

I don't have words for the spinach dip. Apparently it tastes fine (not my order, but in our party). I'm just not sure what the top cheese was doing. I won't write them off.

The bar tender was friendly and offered good recommendations. The not so good was the 20 minute wait for our reserved table and the dinner service which was subpar. The server was not friendly or helpful. We started with the duck wings and beet salad. The beet salad had no flavor and was overpriced for what it was. The beets and cheese were scant. For what it's worth, I make a beet salad at home that is better. My boyfriend got the duo ribs and I had the elk bolognese. The ribs were amazing especially the wild boar, but my food came out cold. It was much better heated up the next day. I had really high expectations based on other reviews but the food and service was really hit or miss here which is why I'm ranking this a 3.

I live in Columbus and haven't had the options like CO has. We shared a green papaya salad, and it was delicious! I would eat an entire bowl by myself. Don't forget to tear up the basil - it completes the flavor! We got the Lotus, Lemon, Firecracker, Sesame and Pork Belly sushi rolls. That is the order I would rank the rolls in flavor. It is a shame if anyone uses shoyu (sou sauce) or even wasabi when eating these rolls. The lotus has a rice paper wrap (for those who don't like seaweed) and an aioli on top that was so refreshing and flavorful. The lemon was honestly a very close second - maybe even a tie for first. I don't normally like salmon but it was so fresh and the lemon slice was refreshing and clean!

Let's start with my birthday weekend- I made a reservation and was sat promptly for my birthday brunch. The restaurant had music playing and the decor was nice. It took awhile for the server to come to the table and take our order. Once placed we didn't see her again. My party flagged down whoever was passing at the time for assistance. Once the food came out, it was COLD. I don't recall how long it took to come out, but by the time it did, I just ate it. It was well seasoned though. The DJ was the best part of the entire day and the reason why I gave 2 stars. I even went and gave him props. My friend's birthday weekend- I swore that I wouldn't return back, but I went the following weekend to celebrate a friend and it was a repeat of service and food. My friends ordered a hookah and it took almost 2 hours for them to get it. I work in the service industry and understand that at times it gets busy, but 2 weeks in a row with the same service, I can assure you I'll never step foot in that establishment again.

Keep in mind that the menu updates ever-so-often, but: The drinks we tried spanned from "ok" to "great." I highly recommend the "Lavender" libation, it was great! Bubbly, tasty. The "pear fect " drink was ok, not worth it imo. Too sweet/no decor to enhance it. One dimensional taste. Super juicy/sweet if you're into that, and felt super strong alcohol-wise honestly (that's a plus). There is a tiki bar underneath. That was fun. If you're looking for an "experience," this is underwhelming, but if you're purely interested in the flavors of food/drinks, I'd say give it a try.
