“I'd heard good things about their menu and decided to take my teens for dinner since other plans fell through. The bar was full when we arrived a little after 7, we took 2 tables near the bar, no hostess or server. A bartender came over to take our order, sweet tea was unsweetened, replaced with soda. Several employees (I assume bc the owner was passing out tax documents to them) seemed to be hanging at the bar, not sure if they were on the clock or not... took over an hour for food to arrive, many to go orders ahead of us apparently. Appetizer came out with the meal (personal pet peeve), but everything except for one sandwich was hot and fresh. Loved the app sampler and fries, my drink was well made and strong, however I really wanted the food to be better. Mac and cheese looked amazing, but there was a strange flavor that kind of got caught in your throat, wraps were ok, limp lettuce too much dressing. Atmosphere was fun, good music, lots of games, I'll definitely come back just for drinks with the adults. I wish they'd had one dedicated server for the night (although I understand it was a quiet Tuesday) to lend a hand running food and whatnot. Full disclosure, the owner is kinda sorta family (lol divorced his nephew), so I wanted to love it but felt meh instead.“

“This was now my third time eating at Market on Main, and I've been more than satisfied on each occasion. Went on a weeknight with a friend and was impressed by both the food and the service. Our server this time, Maddy, was super helpful and quick, and very knowledgeable on the menu. Their MOM burger is one of my new favorite dishes in Columbia, and I've yet to order something from here that I didn't enjoy.“

“Great surprise. Was looking primarily for food, and found a gem of a bistro bar. Eclectic setting with funky vibe attracting all ages and cultures... quite fun for a date or friend outing. Ordered appetizers mainly... the Brussel Sprouts were so good we ordered another. I was disappointed by the mussels, but could have been a fluke. It's the only reason I didn't give it a 5. My biggest surprise was the Philly sandwich. Growing up in Philly, I can't help to sample out of state versions always disappointed. Goat's with it's namesake cheese was special... it didn't attempt to imitate and created something all their own. If you love steak and melted cheese, go for it. Last but not least was the great service and the amazing menu of cocktails. Will definitely come back. PS: don't come here if you want a big table and a lot of room to spread out... this is quaint, cozy and intimate. Loved it.“

“Very nice and plenty of room. We went on a night for younger adults. So we didn't stay long due to some young adults who came in stumbling,being a little loud. Some girls were dressed very inappropriately . Some of the wait staff seemed confused and took too long to take orders and some of the staff drink and smoke while on the clock.“

“If you enjoy California Dreaming, then you’ll absolutely LOVE this place! They give them a run for their money.The croissants are flaky and soft with great honey butter. The chicken tenders and sauce are fantastic. Their salads are served with hot crumbled bacon on top. Their cheesy mashed potatoes are out of this world, potatoes around the world want to be served here.It’s a great atmosphere and wonderful area to walk around after, well placed.You get a lot of food too which warrants the price.Definitely my new go to date night spot!“

“I always wish I could give 1/2 stars because some things are not worth the full star, but this will do. My husband and I enjoyed our experience. It was our first time eating here. It is a bit pricey so if you're on a budget I don't recommend going or only go for special occasions. We enjoyed our drinks and the cheese board. My husband got quail and waffles, which he loved. I got the bbq plate with ribs. I liked the bbq, but the ribs are smoked, and that's not my thing. Also, the mustard bbq sauce they put on it is a bit spicy, and I'm not one to eat a lot of spicy stuff. I am gluten-free, and I had contracted them beforehand about their options, which they have. I told the waiter I was gluten-free, and that is an allergy, but I was still served 2 rolls on my plate. I just removed the rolls and didn't make a big deal about it, but the waiter didn't even recognize the error when he came and checked on us. We also had the strawberry ice cream for dessert. You are quite packed into the place, so people sit very close to you, making for a not so intimate atmosphere. We overall enjoyed our experience and will probably go back in the future.“

We have never had a bad meal there since the opening . I encourage all to take a trip slightly off the beaten path for a wonderful dining experience.“

“Best Hispanic food I have ever had. Absolutely amazing food. And I'm from South Florida, we had tons of Hispanic restaurants. Parking is horrible; they have a small parking lot and a ton of customers. But it is definitely worth every bit of it. The owner or mgr. likes to interact with his customers. They make your food in front of you and ask what you want so you never get anything that you don't want. I highly recommend this place!!!Vegetarian options: They make it in front of you so you can ask them to put anything you want in it. If it's veggies you want then they do it.Kid-friendliness: You can dine in or sit out side. Authentic setting. The owner likes to interact with the kids a bit and gives them treats, and it was NOT in a weird way. Each time we showed up he did the same thing.“

“This is the newest restaurant in the St.Andrews/Irmo area. Great location easy to find .The food is outstanding!Very versatile menu. I love the fact that they cater to pescatarians vegetarian's and meat eaters. With my Pescatarian.lifestyle it's hard to find restaurants that have has items on the menu .The shrimp baskets, shrimp tacos on tues and Thursdays, Salmon and grits or shrimp and grits for brunch on Sunday. Crabs on Working Women Wednesdays & Veggie burgers. Plus meat options for those that eat meat . Check their menu.Im excited to eat there at least once or twice a week.It feels like you're at a beach Retreat very relaxed ... They also have a volleyball court and an outside bar , pool tables and games inside the restaurant.The owner and staff are super friendly.My new favorite place to eat. Go check it out for yourself you won't be disappointed.“

Staff is friendly and so courteous when you want tasting of any beverage before you choose a whole glass. Love the fun of the shelf beverages...I mean you can drink one of so many choices it's amazing. Live music is always good as well as ambient music too. Outside area is really nice too with tower warmers and fancy rock fireplace. I hope this establishment is here for the haul!Kid-friendliness: This is more of a trendy adult type crowd place. Early hours/daytime I'm sure are fun for parents with kids, more adults later hours, but the establishment is very welcoming to all! I wouldn't hesitate going no matter!“

“I've been twice now and both times I have only tried the sushi and small plates. Sushi quality is very good, the yellowtail sashimi, pork belly roll, and the sunset crab roll were 10/10. Small plates I've tried the pork & ginger gyoza, crab wontons, beef kimchi dumplings, crispy tuna and they were good as well. My only complaint with the small plates/ appetizers is that it's exactly that lol very small. Definitely not shareable! However they are good. Cocktails were also good as well, overall very solid place!“

“I only rated a 4 because I didn't actually go in. While waiting for my passengers, however, security checked on me frequently to make sure everything was fine. After checking on me, they ensured my passengers and let them check on me themselves and allowed reentry after a security check and pat down which was greatly appreciated! They only allow members after a certain hour which is great for added security! Definitely recommended as far as going to a safe space. I'll have to check back in if I ever actually enter the building. Oh, parking ? get there early!!“
