Great food! We had the hibachi and dollar wings. Sat at the bar and watched football. Services was great and a super cool atmosphere.

Prohibition - Tart Flambee

Prohibition

(45 reviews)

Prohibition beat my expectations. I expected it to be gimmicky, but I left pleasantly surprised…read more I found the atmosphere to be quite space-y (looks great for attending a show or event). The food surpassed my expectations, particularly the red pepper dip. I also saw the teriyaki beef tacos and thought they'd be meh, but they were really quite tasty! Did not order entrees. I would say they should add a vegetarian/vegan entree option (or substitution) (beyond something mundane like a salad)- maybe I didn't look hard enough. The service was good but not anything to rave about. We were there at what seemed to be a relatively slow time of day/week (maybe 20% of the restaurant was full). Nothing bad to say here. The pricing was as expected. Pretty typical. Also, why no champagne on the menu?! Come on guys (lol, again, maybe I didn't look hard enough). So- 4 out of 5. Not knocking it because of any complaints, it's just pretty average for Columbia. Though I do think they deserve higher than 3.6 based on my experience.

My friend took me to Prohibition for my birthday. It just happened that it was during the time they…read morewere experiencing the Sippin Santa holiday pop-up. We were so excited to try this place because neither of us had ever been there. We walked in to a beautifully Christmas themed decorated bar with a fun vibe. We were seated upstairs, which gave us an amazing view of all the decor. Haley was our server and was great, offering great suggestions as to what was popular on the menu. We both ordered a drink, an appetizer to share and two entrées. The cheese ball appetizer was delicious! Great flavor but a bit small. My friend got the fried rice with steak and I ordered the chicken sandwich. Unfortunately, I ate a quarter of my sandwich before realizing that the inside of the chicken was still raw. When I flagged down a waitress, Kia, she could not have been more apologetic and said she would get me a new sandwich and the manager would bring it to me. After a few moments, the manager came up to our table with a new sandwich. She put it on the table and I cut it in half to make sure that this one was cooked. this woman said absolutely nothing to me i.e. announcing that she was the manager, apologizing for my raw chicken sandwich, ask us if there was anything else we needed, ask if my friend's food was OK. She did not say one word! She set the plate down and walked away. When I told our regular server, Haley, she was surprised and still very apologetic for the whole thing happening. It was a really fun Christmas experience simply because of all of the cute pop-up Christmas decor. I don't know that I would return for just a regular visit. I certainly will not be getting the chicken sandwich ever again if I do.

This is Grand on Main in Columbia, SC…read more Chicken and Waffles are crispy and fluffy. The service is great there, they have a bowling alley, bar, a small stage for singers, and they have tv's that you can watch the games I went to The Grand for my birthday and it was amazing. So, please try it!!!!!

The Grand on Main in Columbia delivers a truly top-tier dining experience, from the ambiance and…read morevibe to the standout food. Clicking of glasses at the bar or the. cheers of bowling pins falling on the lanes in the back, the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels upscale yet inviting, with a stylish, modern Southern aesthetic that's perfect for date night, celebrations, or an elevated night out downtown. IThe energy is lively without being overwhelming giving an upscale sports bar vibe , and the space feels polished, warm, and intentional. We dined during South Carolina Restaurant Week, along with sampling some Grand favorites, and every dish felt thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. The zucchini fries were crisp, light, and perfectly seasoned--addictive in the best way. The fried ribs were a standout, tender on the inside with a flavorful, crispy exterior that delivered bold Southern flavor in every bite. The crispy Brussels sprouts were cooked to perfection--golden, slightly caramelized, and packed with savory goodness. And these were just our appetizers. The entrées were equally impressive. The chicken and waffles struck the perfect balance between sweet and savory, with crispy, well-seasoned chicken paired with fluffy waffles that soaked up the flavors beautifully. My daughter loved the pecans on the side as they were roasted and sweeten like at the candy shops we visit along the lowcountry. The shrimp Alfredo was rich and creamy without being heavy, with tender shrimp and pasta cooked just right. The Southern pork chop with cornbread was exceptional--juicy, flavorful, and clearly a house specialty, with the cornbread adding a comforting, Southern touch that tied the dish together. Service was attentive, professional, and well-paced, enhancing the overall experience without ever feeling intrusive. We came in during a shift change and never noticed the difference. The staff was knowledgeable about the menu and made the evening feel seamless and relaxed. The most interesting thing is the robot delivering food. We see them all the time but definitely appreciate the staff walking behind the machine to deliver as it helps those like us who are particular about germs more secure that everyone is not breathing on food due to just riding on robot. Overall, The Grand on Main lives up to its name. Exceptional food, a vibrant yet refined vibe, and a welcoming atmosphere make this a true five-star destination in Columbia. A must-visit for both locals and visitors looking for elevated Southern dining done right

Smoked - Smoked Pork Chargrilled Oysters

I've been in town for a week and clearly, if you've seen my reviews, you know I be out here in…read morethese Columbia Streets, friends. But nothing could've prepared me for when i walked into this bad boy. MESMERIZED. Whoever did yalls interior decor? RAISE. Immediately! it's gorgeous in there, down to the bar top chairs. Literally a work of art - I'd go just for the ambiance. The servers were so personable and Nickie (bartender) is one of the greatest creations to this planet. Also the manager with the phenomenal winter jacket (you know who you are) that's giving 1990's realness, thank you for your service. I went for brunch and had some of the chargrilled oysters and the burger and woooooo child, it was fantastic! The cocktails and the chemistry behind them are probably some of the best I've had in the city so far. 10/10 do recommend.

Had a special private event there a few weeks ago for a friend of mine…read more As it was a private event, the food was buffet style, with a small bar set up (full bar available in main area) Service was good, and the bartender in the event space was attentive and social, though for the first 30ish minutes, he was clambering around trying to get in his groove, and appearing to have to remember how to make many simple drinks. 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!

The Wild Game Tasting Board was the star of the table perfect for sharing and trying something a little different. We also ordered the gator bites (a must-try!) and finished things off with cheesecake for dessert, which was the perfect sweet ending. Good service, Amazing Food. The chef really goes above and beyond! This is the perfect spot if you're looking to switch things up from your usual dinner routine and try something a little wild.

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.

The service is above par, from checking in to the service at the table, very attentive and quick! The only reason I didn't go 5 stars is because the length of the menu, I was thinking more.....but honestly the choices they had will make me come back! I got the waygu burger and it was cooked PERFECTLY, seasoned amazing, the truffle fries were crispy and flavorful, the homemade ranch was some of the best I had, and I honestly loved their smoked ketchup! The place would be even better during the hot months due to their outside seating, so can't wait to try.

The food was pretty good overall, but my chicken salad sandwich was extremely disappointing. The croissant was very dry, and the shredded chicken combined with the consistency of the dressing was not at all what I expected. After only a couple bites, I left the entire sandwich untouched. 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.
