One of the best restaurants I've tried in Columbia. Food was amazing and everything seemed made with care from fresh ingredients (which is hard to find in restaurants around here!). The shrimp and grits was hands down the best I've had in Columbia, Hunter Gatherer's was a close second place. Will definitely be going back! Pro tip: you can park …
I had a really great dinner here. It's not very often than that. I finish everything on my plate but this was a great meal. It was the blackened salmon and rice and it was seasoned perfectly. I had the fudge for dessert and that was really less than what I thought it would be.
Do yourself a favor and go to this place! It's exceptionally good. Cajun style food that's out of this world. Forget about the franchise food places you can get anytime back home, they suck! When in Columbia, South Carolina, go to the Bourbon restaurant.
Great restaurant and bar! Got dinner at the restaurant section and then went to the lounge for drinks. Gumbo was the best I've had outside of New Orleans, and my friends really enjoyed their burgers as well. Server was very kind and the hickory made the inside smell wonderful.
Cannot speak highly enough about this restaurant. The food was absolutely amazing!!! 10/10 recommend, everything we tried was incredible. The staff was great and made sure we were good throughout the whole evening. Huge win for the Columbia food and drink scene.
High in demand place, especially on Valentines Day when we went! An excellent first time experience; food and drinks were great and we had a fantastic bartender! Will be back soon!
This place is so good! Colin was our server he gave amazing recommendations that we all loved. We had an allergy at our table and he made sure to check and let us know what was it which dish. He recommended the Viet Cajun Sandwich which was worth going back and having again. We also had the shrimp and grits. …
This was an amazing spot for dinner before a show. Food was good the server was amazing but the drinks were spot on.
It's actually two establishments, food + drinks and the other side is drinks + apps. Smart concept. No reservations. We happily waited at the bar next door and sampled some amazing Bourbon... go figure. Knowledgeable staff. Cozy yet swanky atmosphere. I ordered a sandwich that was a fusion between Creole and Vietnamese fried chicken... I can't get the flavor out …
Exceptional spot for a craft cocktail in Columbia. While in town for an evening, my fiance and I stopped in for a nightcap. We were directed to the cocktail lounge entrance towards the corner. Perfect elevated spot for a date 👌🏻 Drinks ordered: Heart of Darkness $17 - Woodford Reserve Double Oaked, Hoodoo Chicory, Thai tea syrup, burlesque and hellfire …
