    When we got sat we found out we didn’t have the right count to include two kids… when we asked the host staff to see if we could move to another table, they were more than gracious and understanding and coordinated the move. They were patient and set us up at another table. We were able to enjoy our meal and the kids were able to spread out. Many thanks to the host staff. We have been having a family Christmas Eve dinner for many years and this staff has always been attentive and helpful.

    Great experience on Christmas Eve. My elderly parents and I traveled from Greenville hi to the Columbia location to meet my son who drove in to meet us from Charleston. Our table was ready and had space to store my dad‘s walker. Service was great, polite and made us feel welcome. Food was great and we had a very nice time together.

    We were a table of 12. Great menu selection and all meals came out hot together. Service was the best. Osso bucco and pork chop entrees are highly recommended. Will be back.
