Every time I go there I have a wonderful dining experience! I recommend going until you get to try everything on the menu. The atmosphere is always pristine, calm, clean and the staff is always friendly. The staff asks about allergies upfront and also gives you honest recommendations about what they recommend you try too. I just took some family friends to the restaurant because they were in town for a memorial service. They had a wonderful dining experience and it was what they needed in their time of mourning. Let’s see… their salads are amazing, the pork chops and apples are spot on, their lamb is always delicious, and I really hope they are here for a long time to come!

This restaurant is the toast of downtown Columbia. Staff is awesome, friendly and hardworking to make sure you have a wonderful dining experience. The atmosphere is amazing. This restaurant is beautiful throughout. Even the bathroom is marvelous! Service is top notch! Our waitress was on the ball, we didn't want for nothing. Chef Alex came to check on us and ask if we enjoyed our lunch. The restaurant is clean throughout. This place is a prototype of how you should operate a restaurant. Quality of the food is excellent. Vegetables were fresh and everything on my Platter was delicious and tantalizing to my palate. We enjoyed our lunch immensely. Beautiful decorations and the entire place is welcoming and comforting. Keep of the great job everyone. Ask for Chef Alex to come out an

This is a lovely restaurant. Their decor is classy and inviting. My 3 companions and I had a delicious meal on a very slow Monday night. The main courses were delicious! Collectively we ordered the whole snapper fish, pork shank, lamb lollipops, and the steak dinner. Everyone enjoyed the meals and had leftovers to take home. My pork shank was fall off the bone meat with slightly spicy (for me) Greek rosemary potatoes. All 😋. We ordered ginger beer and tequila cocktails. They were delicious, the chef, Sterling, did an outstanding job and the presentation and flavor of the food was superb! Our server Amber was also excellent providing attentive service without being intrusive. She graciously answered all of our questions and requests. Overall an excellent experience and look forward to retu

We went on a Thursday at 1200 for lunch. It was a little weird, the whole time we were there we didn't see anyone else come in. It's a beautiful room and the service was excellent. But again, as far as I could tell we were the only ones being served. My wife had the souvlaki sandwich with lamb. She felt like some pieces of the lamb were a little chewy, but overall a good dish. And it was huge. I had the lamb souvlaki platter and it was excellent. First time I've ever had spanakopita. Delicious.
