    Absolutely wonderful experience! The restaurant is very nice inside with a very welcoming vibe. We were visiting Columbia for the first time and totally lucked out. We had a 2 server team as one was being trained and the service was amazing. I wrote down their names but lost my receipt. Food was fabulous. I had the Wreckfish special and my wife had the Lamb Osso Buco and they couldn’t have been any better. If you’re in town this should be a must

    We went to the Thanksgiving Buffet. It was so professional done that they we able to handle large groups as well as single people. The buffet presentation included turkey, roast beef, pork roast, seafood, salads, sides, cheeses, and desserts. It was an amazing experience! I’ll never cook a Thanksgiving meal again.

    Greeted warmly at the front and they pulled up my reservation immediately. We were seated right away and our waitress greeted us at the table. Everyone seemed to enjoy their jobs and it showed in their actions / service. The food was outstanding. Overall we had a great experience and would recommend you check it out yourself.
