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 love wanted to meet our friends here for brunch and it was actually really good. First the…read morerestaurant is decorated beautifully. I loved the rustic feel, everything made out of liquor barrels, the lighting top tier. For appetizers, my friend got the crab Rangoon toast, and we got wings and deviled eggs. The toast was really good but I felt like it was one note, it needed something to cut the creaminess. The deviled eggs were so good with the cracklin chicken skin on top and the wings were crispy and flavorful . I think they were my favorites of the day. My bf got the lobster roll which he said was really good. The bun is toasted, the lobster is cold but he said it's not like ice cold, it's the perfect temperature. My friends said the shrimp and grits and chopped cheese sandwich were amazing. Only thing I'd say about the shrimp and grits is that the kale sitting on top like that is off putting. It could have been plated a little better. Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of my food because it came out last but I got the grilled steak cooked medium rare and it was perfect ! They did put finishing salt which made certain bits really salty so I didn't like that. But other than that, everything was so good. I'd give the experience a 9/10.

Would honestly be like a 3.5

There is memorabilia placed everywhere on the walls, along with some old sports trophies. There is an open kitchen where you can see the chefs cooking up every meal for every table, which is really nice. The floors were old and the whole interior looked like it was all still original to the day it opened several years ago. It has a very big dining room split into 3 different areas, so it was very accommodating for all of our kids to play around while we waited for our food to be delivered without disturbing other customers. My son got the kids cheese burger and fries. My husband ordered their philly cheesesteak and I decided to order their signature sub sandwich. Both of us got raw fries, as well. All of us were satisfied with our meals. My signature sub was filled with delicious flavor and my husband said he liked his Philly cheesesteak just fine. We came here with our baseball team parents, coaches and players after a tournament game and although we waited about 30 minutes to be greeted by a server after we arrived, everything was else went well. The woman who took care of us appeared to be someone who had been employed there for many years and she was very nice and patient with our very large party that took up half of the dining room area we were sitting in. My only critique was how she put a tablecloth on one of our tables before bringing us all menus and taking our drink orders. Granted, many of the adults who were familiar with this restaurant had already ordered buckets of miller light bottles from her at the bar before she came over to take care of us 30 minutes later, but many of us were still expecting prompt service.

We were immediately greeted a very friendly waitress that took our drink orders. When I asked her what she recommended she said they have very good hamburgers and that the Vella's Special turkey sandwich was always popular. We had one person order the Prime Rib sandwich, medium well done. One person ordered the Vella's Special Salad, one order for the Rueben sandwich, and six of us ordered the Vella's special turkey sandwich. It is heated and has turkey, crumbled bacon, provolone cheese and comes with a dipping sauce, one side and a soft drink for $9.99. A good deal. The sandwich itself was good but seemed to lack something, IMO. Most of the guys rated it as a 4.0 with a couple of 3.5's. The Prime Rib sandwich was a hit and so was the salad. The Cole slaw served with the Turkey sandwich was good but I heard a couple of mentions about it not being sweet. Looked like KFC's but not sweet. I liked it Several guys ordered the home fries and said they were just ok. They have a very good looking menu with a lot of interesting options for dinner time. I'd like to try their Philly Cheese Steak next time I go back. Service was great, ambience is nice, food slightly above average. Our overall rating was a 3.83.

Every time we walk in, we're greeted with that warm, welcoming vibe in the historic Sylvan Building - it's cozy yet elegant, perfect for a special night out or just a really great meal. The food is outstanding: seasonal, fresh ingredients shine through in every dish, and the wine list is impressive (no surprise with their Wine Spectator award). We've tried a variety of plates over our visits, and nothing has missed the mark - always flavorful, beautifully presented, and satisfying. What keeps us coming back (and recommending it nonstop) is how consistently excellent it is. We run Chestnut Cottage Inn just 4 blocks away, so we send our guests here all the time. Without fail, they come back raving about their meal and the great time they had. It's the perfect spot for visitors to Columbia - close by, reliable, and memorable. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and book a table. You won't regret it! Highly recommend for dinner or their weekend brunch.

It was balanced, and the ingredients came together so nicely. It was really smooth. The second cocktail we tried was a spin on a negroni; however, instead of gin, it was cognac. This cocktail was pretty good, but if you do not like campari you will not like this cocktail. Bread is available upon request, and on our evening it was a sourdough served. It was pretty good. The crawfish deviled eggs were definitely distinctive. The creole mustard is very forward; with that note in mind, it was savory and tasty. For our second course, my husband had the braised short rib, and he said it was delicious and tender. He also complimented the brussels sprouts. I enjoyed the steak frites. The new york strip was a thick cut and so tender. It was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. That literally was the most flavorful steak I've had out in some time. The broccolini rested on the flavors of the steak and was delicious. The truffle fries were like a thick-cut wedge fries with the perfect crisp. Those fries were amazing as well. We tried the orzo macaroni and cheese. The orzo put a different spin on the macaroni and cheese dish, but it was cheesy and pretty good. The experience was so amazing here and truly made our night out a worthwhile evening. The ambiance was very pleasant and mild. The menu is rotating, and reservations can be made on their website.
