    This place is a dump, services stinks, bad drinks and food is awful. Why anyone would come here is beyond me.

    Came here with a group of girls I met on Bumble BFF to get drinks and we had a great time. Chill, very low key place and intimate space.

    Endwell Taverna - Fried chickpeas and burrata appetizers

    Everything was over the top from beginning to end. We were early and surprised our taste buds by…read moresome complimentary fried chickpeas since it was before 5pm, due to a scheduled concert at 7pm. We shared a salad which worked well and opened our taste buds to our choices of what turned out to be "pasta treats" we both had. They do not brag about it but all the pastas are either made by them or another local maker of fine pastas (Pasta la Fata) Our server was superb and took exceptional care to see that everything was well timed and satisfactory or above. This might have been easy, since we were the first customers, but within 30 minutes the place was busy and satisfied smiles and comments filled the air. What is odd is that we went there primarily to see the renovation and finishes to the place by a good friend of my son and found it to be perfect for the setting. The food was more than fitting as the basis for his attention to detail. Next time you're in town for a seminar, game, match, court case or on your way between Missouri's two largest cities, stop to eat at the best city in the state - Columbia. If you live there, you know what I am talking about.

    This place is a gem! The vibe is cool but not stuffy. The menu is small but has a good variety and…read moreall are phenomenally curated. They were also kind toward my food allergies! The bartenders were friendly and very skilled (upon observation), not just "jack & coke"s. After recently moving from Houston, I've been struggling to find quality food spots, this did not disappoint. I will definitely be back!

    Had really high hopes for this place after a long day on the road. The menu looked inventive and…read moreamazing. Things started out well, the BF had a tasty Manhattan and I had a mocktail that was subtle and delicious, and not overpriced as mocktails often are. But alas. The house salads that we ordered were overdressed in a vinaigrette so acidic we couldn't finish them. And there wasn't much to them. Other than greens and fried shallots and pickled red onions, there was a tiny dusting of some finely grated cheese. And who needs two kinds of onions and nothing else on the salad? Then we each had a bowl of the matzo ball soup, which was ridiculous. Three matzo balls sitting in a quarter-inch of broth that was so unbelievably salty that we couldn't eat that either. We ended up asking for hot water to dilute the broth to a level of saltiness that was edible. The chicken was okay and the matzo balls were okay. A little gummy. But the broth was just awful. It all made me wonder if the chef had lost their sense of taste due to Covid or something. Seriously. I've had that happen to me a couple of times and all I could taste was really basic stuff like sour and salt. And our waitress was totally uninterested in trying to make our experience better. She wasn't rude, she was just indifferent to the fact that we'd been served two courses that we absolutely couldn't eat. Didn't offer us anything to compensate or even express any sympathy about it. We got out of there as fast as we could and made ourselves feel better with an Andy's frozen custard.

    Clean & nice people. I had sides, Mac & Cheese. Nothing to write home about. See I have this…read moreassumption of someone has it on their menu It should be with trying. Made in house. ....no. but let me tell you they made up for it with the jalapeño grits. OMG I could have eaten a pint of that. I also had a lovely drink. It has amazing spices and with the 2 or 3 wines they added rum. My spouse had a fried bologna sandwhich which she said was good.
