I've been to The Food Market many times for brunch, lunch, and dinner, and I have never been…read moredisappointed. The food is consistently exceptional, the drinks are always on point, and the atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between lively and welcoming. Whenever friends or family visit from out of town, this is my go-to spot because I know they'll leave impressed. Most recently, I visited for brunch on Saturday and ordered the short rib gnocchi. It was absolutely delicious... rich, flavorful, and incredibly filling. I paired it with the bubbles flight, which featured an assortment of four sparkling wines and was the perfect complement to the meal. Every visit reminds me why I keep coming back. Great food, great drinks, and consistently great experiences. Love this place. Five stars for consistency and great food!

Sadly, we had a disappointing Mother's Day experience. While the restaurant was extremely busy,…read morethere were a few highlights. The truffle popcorn was excellent, our child enjoyed the shrimp and fries, and the fresh tuna appetizer was flavorful, although overly sauced. Unfortunately, the scallops with risotto were unacceptable. Both entrees had a strong ammonia-like taste from the first bite, which was immediately noticeable to both of us. We were unable to get much attention from our server due to how busy the restaurant was, but the dishes were left mostly untouched for a reason. For a $40 entrée, we expected much better quality and execution. Sadly, The Food Market did not deliver.

My 1st visit was incredible with great personal assistance from all Friday evening!…read more Particularly Michelle assisted patiently my many questions with recommendations. Although she was working with large parties, there were many graduation parties being attended by other Servers by even their kitchen staff. It didnt matter whose area it was!

Last night, my best friend (newly pregnant) and I were served by our lovely waitress, Michelle, and…read moreit was the most lovely experience! She complimented and congratulated my best friend, made sure we had plenty of time to catch up before ordering food, checked on us frequently and served with a huge smile. We're definitely coming back and will ask for Michelle :) The place also has v creative décor and pride inclusive!

Been to the bar a few times in the past, fave local bar in Columbia with the best cocktail and…read morewhisky selection. (Love a nice spot with a good central large bar!) Service is always great. Free parking in attached garage where you can walk right into the inside of the restaurant. Recently came here for dinner on Father's Day, first time trying Kona ribeye (flavored so its sweeter), had mine done medium rare. Was juicy, not overly chewy, good flavor. Lot of marbling. Had to cut off some big chunks of fat, but other than that was great. Added mushrooms for a surcharge which was well worth it. Their steak I included a side so I opted for spinach risotto, delish. Husband had his Kona ribeye done medium and enjoyed it. Had the smoked old fashioned and the manhattan, both great- manhattan was very strong and didn't even finish it (rare for me) not a bad problem to have. For dessert tried the seasonal PB Oreo cheesecake which was delish. Very filling portions. Only critique was that server was very pleasant but kept forgetting to bring certain things and had to be reminded.

Great spot for brunch. The bar is always on point and the brunch or lunch options all satisfy…read more People watching is above average and if the there is live music it has always been very good. Check it out, pretty damn good. Recap: Not too loud, nice ambiance, decent service, great bar, good live music, great food, decent people watching. Why not go?

I only visited Qdoba because they had a $5 off of an entree coupon through T-Mobile Tuesdays and I…read morewas informed weeks ago that you can get guac for free. I placed my order online for the next day to pick up during my lunch break. I was surprised they only had a location at Dobbin in no longer in the Columbia Mall and had to drive almost 15 minutes to pick up my food. I arrived and when I gave the young lady at check out my name she couldn't find my order. I ran inside thinking that it would be very quick and left my phone in the car so then I had to go back to get my phone to look up the order number to provide. As I scanned my emai, I saw a message about an error in transmission with sending my order to the restaurant. I informed her of this and she then spoke with a young lady who was preparing the dishes that I later found out was the manager, and asked me to place my order again. I gave her my order and I inform them of my coupon I had from T-Mobile and that's when everything changed. The manager got really nasty with me and said I couldn't use it and that it had expired. I informed her I placed the order online for pick up the next day and already paid and that it wasn't expired when I placed the order. I also showed her the QR code that was still in my app at that time although it did show an expiration date of the day prior, it was still there. She made a big fuss about it and stated that I wasn't able to use it and how it was expired. At this moment I found myself getting upset because I clearly paid for my meal the day prior and if I wasn't able to use the coupon, why did it allow me to. I definitely would not have wasted my time and would have made other arrangements for lunch. I wasn't doing anything unjust and I didn't appreciate her tone she now took with me. I was about to leave without my food and she stated that she would make an exception for me this time. I paused as I thought about how wrong this felt, then stated it wasn't an exception, it was the right thing to do since their website was malfunctioning. I have used codes like this many times before and purchased food days in advance to make sure I was still able to take advantage of the promo code. Other restaurants you're not able to do it. How am I supposed to know this was a restaurant where you couldn't do it when the order went through successfully? I really do not like when people who have the ability to correct whatever the problem is tells you they're not going to do it again. What sense does that make? How about fix your website so that this problem doesn't exist. She doesn't have to worry about doing it again for me because I won't be going back. The food was ok, however I feel like she gave me the bare minimum servings because of the confusion.

Ordered 3 family packs to-go for our party of 15 people and we had more than enough food! When I…read moregot there I was worried it would not be on time since it was such a large order, but they quickly put my order together and I was out by the expected time. Everything in the order was accurate even given the large order size, and everything was delicious! All the food was under $150. I will definitely be coming back and using them for catering!
