Even though the sign on the door states they close at 11, the bartender told us last call was at 10:30 when we walked into the door and the waitress told me the kitchen closed at 10:30. No big deal. The deal breaker for me was when the bartender was rude to a few members of our party, one being my husband. When asked to make a Rusty Nail, the bartender told my husband that a Rusty Nail is a glorified Old Fashioned, which is not true, and he should be a man and just order a scotch. When mixing another drink, the bartender started making fun of members of our party. He also used his bare hands to place the ice cubes in the highball glasses, which is completely unsanitary. And when I got my extra dirty vodka martini, it had a long hair in it! When it was returned to be remade, it was basically vodka and olives. I asked to have more olive brine added, and it wasn't much better. The bar has a neat atmosphere but the staff make it unpleasant. Our local family members who recommended the place were completely embarrassed and I felt bad for them. It's not their fault that the staff do not know how to treat people. Hopefully management will make it right.

A dirty martini is as simple as it gets and not sure what olive juice they use but it was awful. Also don't think the server knew what their ingredients were in each cocktail.

Middle of the afternoon, only one table occupied, we had just walked through a rainstorm and were dripping wet. The kind waitress at the end of the bar asked if we'd like a towel. Then she looked at the bartender (marine vet), who shook his head no. She looked at us apologetically and shrugged. Simple, common courtesy and good manners matter more than anything else. Bad move, bartender.

Connected conveniently to the entrance of The Factory; The August Sage Cafe sets the brunch bar high in Columbia. * The decor is modern, laid back, and inviting. * The staff was very kind, warm and a pleasure to interact with. * My honey cinnamon latte was hot, well crafted, and a nice balance of bitter and sweet. * The breakfast taco was a fantastic blend of flavors and presentation-- definitely was worthy of sharing on socials. I'll be honest, I was so in the moment and enjoying my time that I forgot to snap pics of everything. I guess you will just have to take my word for it and go experience this great find for yourself. Rest assured, you are in for a treat. Add this to your list of local business to support and frequent. It has definitely been added to mine.
