Not sure there is a better restaurant in Columbia for quality of food, service and atmosphere. Now I understand why it's so hard to get a reservation and will definitely be returning.

I love this restaurant. The atmosphere is amazing! The food is delicious! Everything I've tried here has been unbelievable! Brussel spouts, calamari, trout.....ahhhhmazing!!
I had an outstanding experience all round. The friendly and knowledgeable server, excellent food. I ordered the pan seared salmon and the choice of wines available. Overall the atmosphere in this restaurant is perfect for a night out with friends or a date. I am from Jersey and had an outstanding southern experience here.

We've been talking about going here for years. We always made the mistake of thinking of going here when we were ready to eat. You definitely need to make a reservation at least a couple days in advance. We finally planned and this place was great! We started with drinks. The vanilla bean old fashioned and Georgia peach are fantastic. The appetizers we tried really held up to the reviews I'd seen. Pulled pork egg rolls and fried deviled eggs were yummy! But, the brussel sprouts stole the show. They were ruinously fried... the best preparation, with a delicious sweet and sour sauce. The entrees were delicious too. Their Southern staples were on point. The shrimp and grits were some of the best I've ever had. My husband's fried pork chop was succulent and so crunchy. It came with an apple gravy that sent it over the top! Their collard greens were the closest to my own that I've ever had at a restaurant. That's a huge compliment, because mine are the best! Dessert didn't disappoint either. How do they keep the ice cream at the perfect temperature to be perfectly soft, yet scoopable?! The almond basket was like lacy almond brittle and the berries were gorgeous. I had the coffee ice cream with toffee and chocolate sauce and I wish I could eat it everyday! We will definitely be keeping this place in the rotation!

First time here, but won’t be my last! Went for a birthday dinner for a friend and had a table of 12. From the moment we sat down, it was top notch, from the amazing service to the equally amazing food. I can’t recommend Colas enough!

I hoped sitting at the bar would make sure I had good drink service but that wasn’t the case. Seemed like the bartenders would not make eye contact so they didn’t have to make a drink. Ordered brick chicken for dinner and it was meh at best.
Arrived for earliest seating (5pm) and was received with smiling faces. Service staff was very accommodating. Food was very good and drinks were spot on.

I recently attended a group event, both the service and food were excellent. Our party of about 30 created a challenge for the staff, as we stood, mingled, and gave speeches. They flawlessly ensured we had replenished drinks, quickly removed empty plates and glasses, filled water, all while not interrupting the speeches. I was very impressed. The baby lettuce salad, chicken milanese and chocolate torte were all excellent, and my drink choice made perfectly. I was greeted warmly when I entered, thanked when I left, and the bar staff was quick, friendly and efficient. The restrooms are exceptionally clean, bright and well stocked. Great job by all.
