Hands down, this place was awesome. The hostess immediately acknowledged my husband and I, the entire staff was friendly, and catered to our needs. We were given complimentary champagne and the food was delicious. We sat a window seat and was able to enjoy the scenery outdoors and inside. Overall, this is a place that you will enjoy. They also give you a postcard and this little personal effect is great. It is a little costly but well deserved. My total came out to 67 for Shrimp and grits, chicken and waffles with a side order of scrambled cheese eggs, mimosa, and sweet tea. I also left a hefty tip because I believe in paying well deserved servers.
I like Glenn's Cafe style and service. The food was nice too. We had a main dish and a starter -shrimps&grits and fried picklesfries- they also offer a service where you write a postcard and they ship it for you at the end :)
Our favorite brunch in Columbia, but we love it for dinner too. Gorgeous dining room. Excellent food and drinks. The staff always go above and beyond to deliver an elevated experience.
Really nice New Orleans themed restaurant. We had Sunday brunch. Prices were reasonable. Between 14 and 20 per entree. Everything was better than expected. The eggs were poached perfectly. The seafood/crab cake was as good or better than I've had anywhere else. The quiche was super. Our server was sweet and well organized. They take reservations which made everything easy. The decor was nice. The temperature inside was just right on a January morning.
I've lived in Columbia for seven years and gone through most of the menu. I've never been disappointed once. The salmon and chimichurri salad are especially good. The service is always exceptional and wait staff and cooks are lovely people. Special call out to Callie, Jack, Brendan, and Allie for making outstanding drinks and getting creative. The bar is always well managed and I love sitting in my spot. The atmosphere is relaxing, yet professional, and can even magically cure headaches! Alone or with a large group, this is the place to be.
It has been a very long time (almost 30 years) and was there for a reunion with some friends. The food was terrific! I highly recommend the buttermilk chicken and the deviled eggs. The wait staff was friendly and very attentive. They accommodated our party of 7 with no problems. Highly recommended when you're craving some bayou inspired food.
Wow! The food was amazing and Reese was such an excellent server! She clarified what ocean the redfish on the menu hailed from with grace and professionalism. I had the turkey BLT with avacado and it was incredible! They give you a post card you can fill out and they will mail it to any address you like. Pretty clever and fun idea!
Ask for jack, so attentive and professional he was amazing. Food was delicious as always.
