We didn't have a reservation and we're told there were no tables available, but that we could eat at the bar. The bartender immediately greeted me and got me set up. They were attentive the whole time we were there despite being extremely busy.

Cola’s is one of my favorite restaurants in the city. I had the flounder and as always it was delicious. We also had the salmon with sweet potato grits. That was amazing as well. Ended with crème brûlée for desert. The atmosphere is nice. On this night it was a bit chilly inside the restaurant. Should have brought a jacket …

Hands down the best dining experience in the city of Columbia. We started off with the raspberry Brie and the pimento cheese board. The grouper, flounder, mahi mahi, and the braised beef are absolutely to die for and I would come back and eat every single one of them. Came for the wife’s birthday and it’s safe to say she’s …
