The staff was attentive, friendly, and made us feel genuinely welcome. The food was excellent--fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Every dish was well-seasoned and served hot, with generous portions that reflected the quality of the restaurant. The seafood was especially impressive, and the Southern Lowcountry flavors really stood out. Our server, Diego, was professional and knowledgeable. If you're looking for a great restaurant in Columbia for a date night, special occasion, or simply a delicious meal with outstanding service, I highly recommend Blue Marlin. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and look forward to coming back again soon! We had the fried green tomatoes as our appetizer and they were very delicious! We had the salmon ponchatrain and spinach and mushroom ravioli with grilled salmon and they were both very filling and flavorful!

M Grille should consider changing their name or slogan M Good. As a frequent home away from home guest during their lunch and happy hour this place has become one of my favorite spots in Soda City. Their menu offers a variety of organic ingredients, drink selections and exquisite decor fit for lounging, group meetings, and large parties. They are open to reservations online through OpenTable and did a great job taking care of my large party for a going away and birthday dinner of 12-15 guests. Pricing on average about $10-$30 with street parking at a meter or garage parking in the Vista area. Exceptional service, and manager who checks in on your experience while valuing your feedback, and an intimate atmosphere, sets the stage for a delightful space to dine and unwind that I can never pass up. My favorite menu items are the rock tempura shrimp, jumbo shrimp Thai basil, strawberry honey roll, salmon berry roll and the green tea cheesecake. My least favorite to date was the mango roll. Due to the ripeness of the mango, married with the eel inside caused the roll to fall apart at a squeeze of the chopsticks. Nonetheless, they use fresh ingredients.

Wanted to try this restaurant after visiting Inakaya (a Japanese spot a couple of doors down). Went…read morea couple of days later, and was told that they only accept orders online. The online ordering process is pretty complex, lol. First you place the order, then you get notified about whether or not your order was accepted. When you're denied, it's probably because they're sold out of the dish. If you're denied, you have to restart the online ordering process. The website doesn't update about what things are sold out. In the event that you're lucky and you get what you want, they call you to confirm. In turn, you send your money via cashapp or some other app that they accept payment from. I ended up getting an oyster po' boy and the "sock it to me" rice. Not my first choices but whatevs. The po' boy was fire, but it did have a lotttt of bread. I ended up not eating all the bread. The rice was ok. Something was off with the seasoning and the shrimp. Needed more seasoning, shrimp were over-cooked. If I went back to this restaurant, I wouldn't think to myself, "man I have to get the rice again". The service was good. They were nice enough. I would go back, but only if I could get the things I really wanted to try.

Jordan greeted me and my colleague as we walked through the door. The restaurant is giving off cool, mellow, and relaxed vibes. We opted to sit at the bar to chitchat and review the menu. Cocktail specials made it easy to decide on a cranberry mule to get started. The menu was extremely detailed and everything sounded delicious. We decided to go with edamame and yellowtail and Dynamite hand rolls. Actually, this is my first time having a hand roll. Jordan was knowledgeable of the menu and made great suggestions accompanied by great drinks. My colleague and I decided that the hand roll was great as an appetizer and entree. We walked over and watched the chef make our second round of hand rolls. He explained everything about how he prepares them. To my surprise, I found out that the chef offers Sushi making classes. I want to take full advantage of this experience and you should too! Visiting Sakitumi was a great wind down from training. The ambiance was smooth and its nice paintings displayed throughout the restaurant. I could have easily sat here for hours!

We started off with some fried green tomatoes.  Everyone does their little twist on them and this place did the same.  Personally, I am good with them as is and maybe some remoulade for dipping.  Here they had a pepper sauce that came with them and cheese melted atop the FGTs.  Not bad and nothing killed or overpowered the flavor from the FGTs.  However, I did wish that the pepper sauce had a bit more kick.  I cannot remember the name but the drink of the much was a peach based drink.  It was good and it was not just some peach flavored alcohol but it was made with peach puree.  They had me at peach when she ran through the specials.    For the main entrée it was the ribeye at a medium rare with fries and asparagus.   You get a choice of a bordelaise or garlic aioli to accompany your steak or whatever you want to dip in it.  Steak was cooked to the medium rare as I requested and that is a good start because we know there those places that consider what you ask for as just a suggestion.  Good flavor from the steak with no need for the sauce as I found out and I just enjoy asparagus.    Good experience.  Despite this being my first time here this place gave the vibe as a solid choice.  One of those places where when you are unsure of what you want but don't want to risk something new because you are hungry or with someone who cannot come to terms with their food desires.  This is a that old, trusted place you can rely on when you are hungry and good service.  A first experience that went very well.

Ofc I scroll through Yelp (as one does - literally hi friend!) and one of the top rated is The Bistro. I whip on over there and, albeit confused with the parking sitch (you can park in the back and go in through the side where the restrooms are, or you can go in through the front? Yo no sé.) I was greeted by this gorgeous host who promptly sat me and a drooooopp deeeeaaaddd waitress Annie T, don't get it twisted, came with the suggestions and shoutouts I couldn't be more excited to get. I decided on The Bistro Bee Sting (yall, I mean come on.. look at that photo. DELISH!) and a turkey melt with some cheese grits as a side. So friggin good. A bit expensive but honestly 10/10 will be back. And GET THE BEE STING! I'm still drooling. 8.4/10 only because of price, but service, ambiance, and flavor were all 10's.
