Five stars for a Columbia restaurant. Haven't found a restaurant that beats it around here…read more Excellent, intimate environment. Dark and feels expensive, like a luxurious hole-in-the-wall. The service was impeccable! Very friendly, personal, and knew the menu well. The food was great with respect to other restaurants. Not mindblowing but definitely toward the top of Columbia restaurants! Great selection of drinks, wines, etc. again the waitress was especially knowledgeable and you could rely on her for picking something for your taste.

One of the nicer restaurants in Columbia but I have to say that the layout was just poorly set. I…read morehad to squeeze my way into the bar as the bar seats were all crammed together. The food and drinks were excellent (though I would only come here for a light meal) and the bartender was very knowledgeable. Though, I honestly didn't get a very interactive experience as my attempts to further interact with the bartender didn't result in anything. I typically enjoy wine bars for these interactions so it was quite disappointing to not get that here.

You get a card that's linked to your payment of choice and you can dispense your drink from this cute display of wines from sweet Moscato to a nice Cabernet. The service was great and they walked us through on what to do! The ambiance is so upscale, regal with an artsy. Once you put your card in, The dispensers are set to a taste, have glass, or full glass. And you press the button and the dispenser pours the perfect glass! It's really an experience! The wines are available for purchase and on Tuesdays are half off bottles! I will probably not ever be in Camden on a Tuesday, but if I am, you know where to find me!

It is built on an old bank. The system utilized to sample the wines is really cool. Similar to one I seen in Italy. You basically insert a card an select the wine you want, and the machine pours the perfect amount into your glass. Really cool. It is a good way to sample wines before you decide to buy them. We ordered a couple of appetizers, and in my personal opinion they were lackluster. The presentation was not the greatest, especially at the price point. Other than that, it was great. Will return.

This place goes to the top of my list as one of the absolute coolest hang-out places in town. Only…read moreplace to go where you can sample different wines on daily basis. Only $7 to taste multiple wines (which change week to week), and you don't have to wait a month for the next 'wine tasting'. Grotto has an actual tasting bar, plus an option to order a plate of exotic salami and cheeses which can't be bought locally. This gives Grotto a huge advantage over Mickey Fins which is set up like the inside of a gas station. Mickey fins has competitive pricing, and a very large selection, but does not do daily tastings, nor do they have a bar/sit down area. Both know their wines well, both have been friendly and helpful. Overall, this is a wonderful place to buy wines or to relax and socialize with friends!

I also…read morelove a great glass or bottle of wine and I really love it when I'm enjoying said wine in a lovely and warm place with lots of atmosphere and great people. All of this is true of The Grotto, and more. Vince and Maura, the owners of this lovely wine bar, are amazing! They have really managed to create something special. They both really love and really know wine! And they love to talk with people, from the beginner to the expert, about vino. Vince has amassed a truly impressive and unique collection of wines that you won't be able to find anywhere except maybe Charleston. And he's very good at helping people find interesting and unique wines at great prices. If you like or love wine, check this place out. I can't emphasize it enough. You won't regret it!

Inside is cute too, but it can feel a little tight at times, so I definitely prefer being outdoors when I can. The Tuesday wine tastings are always fun and such a great way to try new wines without feeling rushed. They also have great little snacks and small bites that pair perfectly with a glass (or two). Overall, the vibes are solid, the wine is always on point, and it's just one of those places that makes you want to linger. A great go-to spot in Summerville that I always enjoy coming back to.

On my recent visit, I was able to enjoy one of the best Caesar Salad in recent memory, as well as a delicious Mushroom Soup. However, the highlight had to be the Fish Of The Day. The phenomenal Crab Meat Stuffed NC Rainbow Trout had a wonderful saffron, tomato, and fennel broth with toasted fregola. I am quite shocked at how many good Italian restaurants are in this part of SC, but I am certainly thankful that my best option is not Olive Garden.

It was a little bit of a heated discussion, but I had no issues with leaving with a "Go F yourselves, and I will NEVER be back". If I offended someone while drinking my beers (Smithwick and Guiness), sucks to be then if that is all it takes to be "triggered".

The duck was extremely salty!! I mean tasted like they don't measure and had a bad taster. It was terrible. The calamari was the tiniest and saltiest appetizer I've ever seen for $15, The catfish had a bed of extra spicy, salty rice again with the salt. The collard greens were both too salty and too sweet. Cucumber salad had an unpleasant taste. The shrimp skewers, steak, burger, truffle fries, mashed potatoes and cornbread with guava butter and were seasoned well. I ordered the $49 filet mignon and my receipt showed a $54 charge, with not 1 side. The waitress dropped the birthday cake off and kept going. I asked if they would sing happy birthday she said no and walked off, extremely cold. They made us sort the $1027 bill out among 18 people, awful experience. Almost all of the group's food needed to go back bc of the salt overload, except the burgers, shrimp and steak. Definitely won't be returning.
