Finally I tried this hidden gem, it's been on my list for while! Robinson Room was a great experience from beginning to end. I made a reservation, timing was perfect. It wasn't crowded, ambience was nice, customer service was A+, and the food- drinks was amazing! Absolutely loved the decor and very intimate dining experience. Location is downtown Columbia, I went on a Friday afternoon approx 5p, we had no issue with parking. This was the start to our 30yr anniversary pre diner, before another reservation later in the evening. We loved everything about our time here. I highly recommend this boutique cocktail and desert bar, we will be returning in the near future! Thanks to your staff! @glampedlife

Espresso Martini
Desiree R.

3 1/2 stars, Okay so let me get the negatives out the way first: smells a bit weird but well done on decor except the faux plants. The space could benefit from fresh greenery to give it a clean air vibe but I digress. However, I love and recommend the espresso martin and the bourbon pudding (it's a banana pudding, no bourbon flavor whatsoever) but I enjoyed it, it could use more of the cookie wafers though. Stay clear from the Tuscan Trifle drink, yuck... way too sweet. Instead order the espresso martini and you can thank me later. With this place being a drink/dessert place I wanted more but it's cute and has potential. It's worth a try. A cute little spot to hang with your besties or even have a little pre/post date cocktail. They just need to vamp up their desserts to make it a spot where you would want to keep on coming back to.

Fresh Fruit
Kelley P.

The environment was so nice. Great for a date night or night out with friends! We enjoyed all of our food and the coffee was very delicious.

Goat Cheese Pita
Jasmine J.

Overall I had a great experience. My server was attentive, the food was good and the chairs were comfortable. That means a lot to some of us! This is a great place to go to if you want light bites. Their menu is traditionally tapas style. Do not expect big hearty meals or even hearty appetizers. This place would be suitable as an after dinner or first date place. I tried the goat cheese pita which is one of the "heartiest" meal options. It was a good portion and tasty. They have several cocktail option. Lastly, if you have a large party, this may not be the best spot. This place is more intimate and cozy. I believe anything I over 6 people maybe hard to accommodate if the place is packed. Nevertheless, I'll be back!! Oh they do have brunch I just came too late.

CHICKEN & PEARLS
Kim C.

The food was great, the syrup and waffles were super sweet and the chicken was seasoned well! A great combo together. The biscuits were a little hard but once gravy soaked in it was desirable. The waffle board was a shareable plate and everything tasted good, the fruits were fresh and the sauces were tasty. Of course the drinks were drinks . Our server, I forgot his name but he was very attentive to our table and took great care of us while we were there. It's a nice chill spot with nice music and quiet vibe.

The Robinson Room is so vibey. The colors and florals and music, it's just all such good vibes. We got the buttercream board which was to die for. The espresso martini was made well and if you're an espresso martini person, you know they have to be made right. The server was attentive to us and checked on us often. It's perfect for a date night or after dinner dessert.

Central location right in the heart of downtown. They recently opened up this spot and the decor and ambiance is super cute! The food is plated creatively and I like the brunch menu they have going on. I am docking a star because the waffle was a little dry and the biscuit had a little too much gravy for my liking but I definitely will come back and try other items.

What a cute place! Came here with a friend while visiting and I was thoroughly impressed. Their holiday drinks were delicious and their desserts were so good. The staff was amazing and helpful too!

Cheesecake w/ Caramel sauce
Kayla P.

My guy almost sent this exquisite delicacy back, thinking they brought out a donut! Lol. What a gem I would have missed out on! This cheesecake is delish and the caramel sauce (you can also get strawberry) was so complementary. Good down to the last graham cracker crumb! The space itself is smaller but my only issue was that the table we were at blocked the easy path to the bathroom and people kept having to pause, realize that, and walk around our table.

Gourmet meatballs
Summey F.

So good. And AMAZING atmosphere inside. There was nobody in there on a Thursday which really threw me. I'm not sure if there just hasn't been a lot of advertising for this place or what, but wow. Food was fantastic. We ordered the meatballs and the soft cheese plate. Both incredible - meatballs are a must. Service was also good and our waiters were really cool. Can't wait to go back!

This has been on me and hubbys list for awhile and we finally got to try it out. We weren't sure how busy it may be, so we made a reservation for 11 am since we were trying to have brunch before the girls basketball game (2nd round ncaa playoffs) woo hoo! First off the inside is so pretty and the vibe is elegant but cozy. I love the vibrant colors and aesthetics. The only thing I'd say about the service is our waiter seemed slow at times coming to our table and it seemed he tried to remember everything and not confirming the order vs writing it down or repeating it back because he gave my bf the wrong thing (which at the end wasn't a problem) and when we asked for the apple sausage , he thought we said apple torte and came back and said we don't serve dessert during brunch.... We were like no we said apple sausage. Now on to the food and drinks. I ordered a pineapple sour and it was so good. It seemed to get stronger the more I drank and the dried blood orange slice gave it a nice little kick. I ordered the wagyu meatballs and potatoes and they give it to you in a little skillet. It doesn't seem like enough food but it actually was a good sized portion. The wagyu meatballs were tender and flavorful and paired well with the potatoes. The potatoes were supposed to be crispy which I'm sure they were initially but after the meatballs sitting on top lost it a little, but that wasn't a problem at all. I think it would be so much better with a medium cooked egg in the middle to complete the dish .We ordered the apple sausage and grits a la carte just to try it. The sausage was a smidge sweet but still had good smoky flavor. The grits were flavorful but texture was mid. It was a little dry and thick. I wish I could have tasted the desserts but that'll be an excuse to come back again. I'd give it this place an 8.7 for overall experience.

Kezaira W.

Every time I pop in the ambiance is amazing! However, the one thing I attempt to order is either gone or missing an ingredient. The staff is very friendly but they may be over worked. Seated quickly but took a while to have someone come over. I had to ask the table next to me if I could borrow a menu and they obliged because they had already ordered and eaten and just had a table of menus amongst their dishes. Definitely a place to check out but be prepared to have a back up item to the item you want to order and don't come "hangry".

The Grand on Main - Smoked Pork Chops

This is Grand on Main in Columbia, SC…read more Chicken and Waffles are crispy and fluffy. The service is great there, they have a bowling alley, bar, a small stage for singers, and they have tv's that you can watch the games I went to The Grand for my birthday and it was amazing. So, please try it!!!!!

Diamond - 5 Stars Jacob - 1 Star…read more After an extra long visit to SC, a friend suggested we hang out before I head back to NYC. We ended up stopping at The Grand around 9/9:30pm on a Saturday. Upon entering the hostess informed us they were currently only serving the late night menu. We said no problem and elected to grab seats at the bar. There were several empty tables and a few empty seats @ the bar. However, the only two seats together at the bar needed to be cleared from the last patrons that were seated. We stood there for over 20 mins while Jacob continued to walk by never acknowledging us or the fact that we couldn't sit. When he finally cleared the dishes he just walked away, never cleaning the area. When he returned he still never greeted us or apologized for the wait, the mess... nothing. Jacob: What are you having? Me: Well hello... Jacob: Yea... what do you want? Me: Wow... ok. For starters can you please whip off the bar so we can properly have a seat. There is still food residue here from the last customers. ** we get a visible huff** He wipes down the bar and we proceed to order drinks, while he never really speak any more it's all via motions and body language. Amongst ourselves we check in with one another to confirm that we both were feeling very unwelcome. Instantly we decide that we will not be ordering anything additional and will be leaving after this one drink. Which is just as well because Jacob never returns. Someone , whom I can only assume was of a mangement status, asked if Jacob was helpful and we promptly and simultaneously said no and that we would like or bill. She shook her head in utter disbelief and disgust but then she also disappeared. Just so happened that Diamond, whom was on the other side of the bar happen to walk pass. She stopped and asked if we were ok after witnessing our frustration. We explained that we wanted the check and why we were leaving. She was super apologetic and closed out our tab. Her energy literal turned the experience around and if she would have came to our rescue sooner we would have considered staying. Thank you Diamond. Just A Note: Unfortunately, bad first impression because The Grand seems like it may offer a good time with the bowling lanes in the back.

I've been in town for a week and clearly, if you've seen my reviews, you know I be out here in…read morethese Columbia Streets, friends. But nothing could've prepared me for when i walked into this bad boy. MESMERIZED. Whoever did yalls interior decor? RAISE. Immediately! it's gorgeous in there, down to the bar top chairs. Literally a work of art - I'd go just for the ambiance. The servers were so personable and Nickie (bartender) is one of the greatest creations to this planet. Also the manager with the phenomenal winter jacket (you know who you are) that's giving 1990's realness, thank you for your service. I went for brunch and had some of the chargrilled oysters and the burger and woooooo child, it was fantastic! The cocktails and the chemistry behind them are probably some of the best I've had in the city so far. 10/10 do recommend.

Had a special private event there a few weeks ago for a friend of mine…read more As it was a private event, the food was buffet style, with a small bar set up (full bar available in main area) Service was good, and the bartender in the event space was attentive and social, though for the first 30ish minutes, he was clambering around trying to get in his groove, and appearing to have to remember how to make many simple drinks. The appetizers were wonderful, smoked meatball, shrimp cocktail, what I believe was a crab dip ( what ever it was was incredible) The main course, left a little to be desired, prime rib was perfectly cooked and tender, but the chicken dish was bland and flavorless. Overall, I am looking forward to trying the main dining room on my next visit to Columbia!

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.

The food was pretty good overall, but my chicken salad sandwich was extremely disappointing. The croissant was very dry, and the shredded chicken combined with the consistency of the dressing was not at all what I expected. After only a couple bites, I left the entire sandwich untouched. What was even more disappointing was that when our waitress brought the bill, she clearly noticed I hadn't eaten the sandwich and chose not to ask about it. At this price point for lunch, I would have expected the situation to be handled a little differently. We sat in the covered outdoor area, which was nice, but there's also an uncovered outdoor section with older picnic tables that don't really match the vibe of a more upscale lunch spot. If you plan to sit outside, I'd recommend making your seating preference clear when booking.
