    The cocktail: Deep Sweet Davy
    Kendra C.

    The vibe the vibe the vibe... this cozy restaurant is located in downtown columbia. Let me tell you it's a vibe. It's a nice date spot or f you want to get away, this spot is secluded and quiet. It's worth the visit!! The bartenders are very friendly and hold conversation. I did not try any food because we had reservations elsewhere. The menu does not have a lot on it. 6 items is what you can choose from. I may try the chop on nmh next visit. The drinks are spot on. The right mix of alcohol. Not overpowering but enough for you to feel. I will def come back and visit.

    If you're are looking for a great brunch spot with a live DJ this place is a great option. Younger crowd but good food and good drinks. We had chicken and waffles and chicken and French toast both were good!! Food came out hot like fresh out the kitchen!! The chicken bites were full of flavor! We were skeptical when the server recommended them bc I'm a bone in kind of girl but he was right! They were flavorful and crunchy! Drinks were good and reasonability priced. This place is known for their live music so i can't wait to come back.

    Stopped by here with a friend on Wednesday night for karaoke. The sitting room was very nice and quaint. Not a huge area but just enough space to not be on top of each other. I ordered a few drinks from the bar and the bartender was super sweet. The drinks were good. I sang a few songs and it was my first time out. It appeared as though the karaoke community was very strong here. Every singer who got up and sang were amazing! The vibe of the place was nice and the karaoke DJ was awesome! I will definitely be back

    Usually nice having an unusually bad evening... NOT my issue.

    No idea what's up with this place tonight. Been here several times before and thought it was a great place. Tonight we brought my son, daughter and her boyfriend and they were completely different. Ordered two things on the drink menu. Both times, "we don't have that". Ordered Bees Knees. Bartenders rolling their eyes, refusing to serve top shelf drinks in glassware claiming there is none... obviously plenty behind the counter in plain site. Only thing I can figure is that they disrespected my 25 and 26 year old USC Graduate son and daughter. Never treated the wife and me this way. Shame on you. Not sure we'll be back. DO NOT DISRESPECT YOUR CUSTOMERS !! They/we pay your bills. Really annoying that we came here to have a nice time only to have the staff adversely impact our evening. Too bad. We really liked this place. Ambiance would be awesome I'd the staff would appreciate their clientele.

    We went on a Sunday and grooved for over two hours to a live jazz band. The space is small with like a dozen tables indoors and 2-3 tables outside. The offerings here were comfort with a twist. 3 of us had the chicken and waffles...so good. The chicken was double fried with fresh waffles and a spicy syrup. Everyone around us seemed to be enjoying themselves as well. Saving a star to try something else when we go back.

    This place is awesome. It's small & very inviting. They have a live band often and have recently added a Latin jazz band to their lineup. I've been here three times and have loved each time more than before. Their menu has a great variety of food, even vegan options. Their cocktails are crafted with care, perfectly executed each time I've had one. Try the Old Fashion and Sweet & Spicy cauliflower. You won't be disappointed!

    This is one of my favorite chill spots when I am in Columbia. I wished they had a broader bourbon list but the flatbread and steak make up for the lack of drinks. Always some good love jazz playing which is what Columbia needs more of.

At one point, when they first opened, I thought they were pretty good. The customer service is always great on the few and far visits that I have returned recently. The food is not terrible, but the quality is not always great. It's like if you just cared a little more and delivered food to the table while the temperature of the food was still warm, it would actually be better. This particular lunch visit, I ordered the catfish nuggets. They were just okay, and for the price, there's no alignment. I would not order those again if I returned. I ordered the chicken sandwich. My chicken breast was fried until the breading was black. It looked like the grease they were frying in was old, or they left the chicken in too long. The replacement they returned was so small it would have been a chicken tender. Its breading also reflected that the grease was old; however, they didn't burn it that time. I just accepted it to move on with lunch. The fries are good as well as the bacon jam. I hope they are able to turn it around and early start to care about what they are serving.

The appetizers were wonderful, smoked meatball, shrimp cocktail, what I believe was a crab dip ( what ever it was was incredible) The main course, left a little to be desired, prime rib was perfectly cooked and tender, but the chicken dish was bland and flavorless. Overall, I am looking forward to trying the main dining room on my next visit to Columbia!

Made a reservation early in the week for 8pm. I arrived at 750. I was told that tables were sitting a little late so it would be a wait of 20-30 minutes. Well that wouldn't be a problem if there was somewhere to wait. I was told I could go to the rooftop (40 degrees) or wait under the stairs (no room and a fall hazard). I asked if we could wait by the bar but was told there was a private party and we couldn't. My husband and I went to a neighboring bar and returned 15 minutes later where we then waited by bar, eventually being seated at 825. Ambiance is nice. It's cozy, good for date night. Server was amazing. She was a natural. Top tier, like she studied to be a server lol. I hate I can't remember her name. Five stars for her. Food. It was a 3/5. Go for the mussels! They are delicious. Hush puppies are pretty tasty. Main options we got were the ribeye and the quail. They both left something to be desired. It was good but it wasn't great. I didn't want to lick my plate. Something was needed and missing in both dishes. The portions are fine. I won't return to give them another chance. My advice to anyone coming for a nice date night, don't. I would stop by here, hit the bar, grab some mussels and go elsewhere for dinner. I'm disappointed because I was looking forward to trying this place. I would have given them 3 stars but the seating situation was not acceptable. Oh and don't get dessert here. They threw something together and called it an apple parfait. It tasted like air.

Bison, elk, boar, rabbit. These are proteins you don't see on most menus. The restaurant leans into a woodland theme with greenery hanging throughout the space. It borders on a bit much, but the open kitchen visible from the dining room grounds the whole experience and adds a nice touch of theater. The seating was comfortable and well spaced, perfect for a family dinner where you actually want to hear each other talk. Our server was outstanding, easily 5 out of 5. She knew the menu cold, offered thoughtful recommendations, and struck that ideal balance of attentive without being intrusive. She made the evening better. The drinks were mostly a win. Two cocktails were excellent, creative and well balanced. A third was over iced and fell flat. Minor miss, but worth noting. The food is where The Hollow really shines. The charcuterie board was a fantastic start, featuring a well curated spread of wild game meats, quality cheeses, fig, and mustard. The mains delivered across the board: salmon, elk, and bison all came out beautifully with great flavor and generous portions. The sides deserved their own applause, which isn't something I say often. The dessert menu was the one soft spot. Nothing grabbed our attention, so we ended up heading across the street to Kaminsky's for something sweet. For a kitchen that puts this much care into everything else, the dessert offerings felt like an afterthought. A couple of notes on the bill to be aware of: we were charged a few dollars for swapping a vegetable side. There was a 3% credit card surcharge that caught us off guard. When you're out with the family and the tab runs into the hundreds $, most folks are paying with a card. That's a fee I'd want to know about upfront. On the menu, from the server, somewhere visible before the check arrives. The bottom line: The Hollow is a creative, well executed restaurant with standout food and excellent service. If you're in Columbia, it's well worth a reservation.

What was even more disappointing was that when our waitress brought the bill, she clearly noticed I hadn't eaten the sandwich and chose not to ask about it. At this price point for lunch, I would have expected the situation to be handled a little differently. We sat in the covered outdoor area, which was nice, but there's also an uncovered outdoor section with older picnic tables that don't really match the vibe of a more upscale lunch spot. If you plan to sit outside, I'd recommend making your seating preference clear when booking.
