This is not the sort of pace to go when you have an appetite. The offerings are small with no sides. I was told they had gluten free options but they only had one option and that was a burger without a bun. (Apparently they normally offer a gluten free bun but they had run out). The wagu burger was delicious but a little unsatisfying. Interesting cocktail selection but I went with a glass of red wine instead. I’m glad that Columbia is adding more food and drink options in the square but I think I will eat dinner first and plan on considering their offerings more like an appetizer.Dietary restrictions: The burger can be made gluten free and served on a piece of lettuce or on a bun if they have them that night.

Hidden gem. Possibly the best tasting burger in Columbia. Also extremely good old fashioned.

Hostess was very friendly. Who ever the person was that seated us was lacking. She took us to the patio entrance, and pointed around the corner saying "third table," then walked off. Our server was personable and did a good job. Cocktails and wine were good. The brownie totally missed the mark. Presentation was nice, but the brownie itself was dry and cold. If you're going to incorporate chocolate chips into a brownie, atleast serve it warm so that you're not crunching on chocolate chips. I'll give it s second try, to see if things improve.

The cheese and hummus plate is absolutely to die for. Their stuffed grape leaves made me feel like I was sitting in a bar in Greece. The cocktails are outstanding and very unique. I do not recommend the oysters though and hope that they can revamp this recipe or take it off the menu completely. Everything else is very aesthetically pleasing and tastey. This whole bar makes you think you’re in Manhattan and we love it.

Such a wonderful spot for a night out. Wonderful ambiance, excellent cocktails and surprisingly good food. The menu isn’t deep, but the items they offer are excellent. I submit it’s the best burger in the area, which is high praise. By far the best drinks. Staff is super friendly. Ransom hits all the right notes, hope it sticks around.Vegetarian options: Half the menu is vegetarian friendly.

This place is fantastic. We have nothing like it in Columbia. It’s tapas style with Greg cocktails. Highly recommend. There is not a whole lot of seating yet, but they will eventually open up a second floor.

Stopped by for a quick cocktail with a friend. We had a great time! The atmosphere is very chic and classy. We got the pumpkin burrata to share and it was extremely tasty, fresh, and the presentation was very nice. Our cocktails were lovely and we enjoyed chatting with the bartender while we were there. The staff is great and super attentive. Will definitely come back for a date night with my fiancé!

We were graciously greeted at the door by friendly staff. The beautiful interior reminded us of a chic NYC restaurant. The craft cocktails were very good quality and presented perfectly. Every morsel of the food was delicious (the lobster tapas… excellent). The service was impeccable. The perfect spot for date night. Chic, cozy, warm, friendly and inviting.
