It may be small, but it's packed with incredible customer service, warm ambiance, and delicious, mouthwatering food. I was especially impressed with the lobster rolls, the best I've had since Charleston. The lobster was fresh, sweet, and perfectly prepared. And let's talk about the bar! The drinks are perfectly poured and the bartenders are amazing, attentive, welcoming, and they make you feel right at home. Come hungry and be prepared to fall in love with a menu full of savory, scrumptious options. Between you and me, I might just have to try the whole thing.

My husband and I dined here for a date night. We went early, around 5, on Saturday. We were…read morethankful to be seated right away. What a beautiful, cozy restaurant. We were warmly greeted by the hostess, seated at a comfortable table and our server was fantastic!!! We enjoyed the crab dip as an appetizer. It is served with pita bread and was absolutely delicious!!! I highly recommend it. Five My husband had the surf and turd which was served with loaded mashed potatoes and broccolini. The steak was cooked exactly how he ordered it and was a large serving! Five I had the crab cake (which is technically an appetizer) and it was served with corn chowder. It was the perfect portion size for me after having an appetizer. Five I would eat this an appetizer or meal! I also opted for a side of mashed potatoes. Plenty of draft beer and a great cocktail/wine menu. We really enjoyed our visit and look forward to returning! What a gem!

She was so happy to see the gentleman that came in behind us. She mentioned she hadn't seen him for a while. We were ignored. She the brought us menus and I thought it was getting better. My mom ordered a mimosa flight and I got a Prosecco. The Prosecco was amazing but we never were able to taste the flight. We were hoping to grab a bite to eat and some drinks before we go shopping. She never came back but the gentleman next to me was able to get wonderful service and food. I am visiting my parents and was so excited to try this place with her. I am disappointed that we were treated as if we didn't matter or not as important as another patron. It would have been great to experience this place in a better light but sadly our experience was less than. I won't be coming back but I hope Jessie realizes my mom is such an amazing tipper but I'm sad you miss that. Maybe if we were of a different gender it would have been better.

The Wild Game Tasting Board was the star of the table perfect for sharing and trying something a little different. We also ordered the gator bites (a must-try!) and finished things off with cheesecake for dessert, which was the perfect sweet ending. Good service, Amazing Food. The chef really goes above and beyond! This is the perfect spot if you're looking to switch things up from your usual dinner routine and try something a little wild.

When my family in Columbia suggested a "forest to table" restaurant, I wasn't sure what to expect…read more But The Hollow surprised me in the best way. The concept centers on wild game. Bison, elk, boar, rabbit. These are proteins you don't see on most menus. The restaurant leans into a woodland theme with greenery hanging throughout the space. It borders on a bit much, but the open kitchen visible from the dining room grounds the whole experience and adds a nice touch of theater. The seating was comfortable and well spaced, perfect for a family dinner where you actually want to hear each other talk. Our server was outstanding, easily 5 out of 5. She knew the menu cold, offered thoughtful recommendations, and struck that ideal balance of attentive without being intrusive. She made the evening better. The drinks were mostly a win. Two cocktails were excellent, creative and well balanced. A third was over iced and fell flat. Minor miss, but worth noting. The food is where The Hollow really shines. The charcuterie board was a fantastic start, featuring a well curated spread of wild game meats, quality cheeses, fig, and mustard. The mains delivered across the board: salmon, elk, and bison all came out beautifully with great flavor and generous portions. The sides deserved their own applause, which isn't something I say often. The dessert menu was the one soft spot. Nothing grabbed our attention, so we ended up heading across the street to Kaminsky's for something sweet. For a kitchen that puts this much care into everything else, the dessert offerings felt like an afterthought. A couple of notes on the bill to be aware of: we were charged a few dollars for swapping a vegetable side. There was a 3% credit card surcharge that caught us off guard. When you're out with the family and the tab runs into the hundreds $, most folks are paying with a card. That's a fee I'd want to know about upfront. On the menu, from the server, somewhere visible before the check arrives. The bottom line: The Hollow is a creative, well executed restaurant with standout food and excellent service. If you're in Columbia, it's well worth a reservation.

We stood around waiting for someone to greet us, then we went to the restroom came back out still no one to greet us finally after approx. 10 min of being there someone came out. We had the shrimp and grits and the cornbread waffle , collards and fried fish plate. S & G also had the tiny scallops with 5-6 large shrimps and an absurd amount of grits. 3/5. The plate had pretty good greens but very small amount 4/5, the cornbread waffle taste ok 3/5 but very disproportional to the amount of greens. The fish...0/5. Greasy and overcooked. Based on service and food, I would not recommend for brunch. Other reviews for dinner have more positive feedback.

Nae was attentive, welcoming, and professional. We dove into their Wednesday $20 lamb chop meal (yes, you read that right--tender, juicy, and full of flavor), and their appetizers came out hot and seasoned to perfection. Plus, they offer 25% off all adult beverages until 7:30PM, Wednesday through Friday--and trust me, we took full advantage! The custom cocktails made by Tym were unique and SO good. All while vibing to smooth R&B that kept the mood just right. Grown, sexy, and chill. If you're looking for a place with great food, delicious drinks, and a whole vibe--Champagne is IT. #SupportLocal #ColumbiaEats #ChampagneLounge #BlackOwnedBusiness #BirthdayVibes #RNBandCocktails #LambChopLove

Lately the service has been great, but the food has been falling short. Over the last three visits, food has not been up to par. One dish, the rice was cold, the next the chicken was cooked to death. This last meal left me looking at the plate wondering where the rest of my meal was. Over seasoning has been a problem. I will say, the chef here has talent. I'm not sure what's going on, but we are going to give this restaurant a break for a while.
