We were seated immediately upon arrival for our 5:15pm reservation for 2. The space is very pleasing and inviting. Keep in mind, it was only the 2nd night of opening for dinner and I will be providing just a bit of feedback. But, all-in-all, we were pleased with our experience. The restaurant was not full and we did have to wait quite a while for our 2 glasses of wine. We both ordered the small caesar salad that was a good portion and was delicious. Both of us opted out of the anchovy on top. For my entree, I ordered the appetizer Mussels and they were super good! All of them were open so you know they were fresh. The broth was very flavorful which I enjoyed with the grilled baguette. For feedback, I would suggest that a separate bowl be provided to use for the empty shells and also a small seafood fork to retrieve the mussels from the shells as I found the dinner fork a bit large. My friend ordered the meatloaf, without the mashed potatoes. I didn't sample her meatloaf and she said that it was very good and she was pleased with her choice. The entree was plated nicely as well. Our server, Julie, was very attentive, but not over-the-top, which was fine with us since we were chatting and catching up. Julie's smile and energy was appreciated!

We were greeted warmly and shown immediately to our table. It was comfortable and the spacing of tables was just right. Ample menu options. We tried the Brussels sprouts bacon cheese dip for start. Salad was included w the entrees. Both the salmon and the halibut were perfectly prepared. Our server Brandi was helpful and attentive. Overall, it was an A+ experience.

Long awaited and well worth it. Dining area is warm and spacious. We were immediately greeted with an energetic smile and taken to our table. We both had the graphite salad, which were fresh and flavorful. My wife had the juicy frenched pork chop and I had the meatloaf. Her pork chop was accompanied by delicious vegetables. I had the meatloaf which had vegetables which had incredible flavor. There are many other menu items we look forward to enjoying on future visits. We both passed on deserts, but they looked amazing. I highly recommend.

Highly recommend! Parking: easy and plentiful. Setting and ambiance: upscale but VERY comfortable. Hosts and staff were accommodating and very pleasant. Our table was ready upon arrival with the appropriate number of water glasses poured and places set. Drinks: cocktails were as advertised and delicious! Any cocktail with pear syrup is a winner, but it was refreshing, tasty, and reasonably priced. Pre-Dinner: We only had calamari as an app, but it was the best we’d ever had. The same can be said for the Graphite salad! I am not a salad fan, but I could have had that salad as a meal and been super satisfied; it’s refreshing and delicious. The apples and figs are a treat, and the dressing is light and complimentary. An amazing start to our experience! Wine: The wine list is thorough, and while not the type of list one might see at a Las Vegas casino or ridiculously high-end restaurant, offers numerous delicious wines (red, white, and blends) at VERY friendly prices. This was a surprise, and a welcome one. I was also pleasantly surprised to see a Ruby Port on the menu as many restaurants only list Tawny Port. *I am unsure of any applicable corkage fees.* Entrees: We shared. The filet was cooked to a perfect medium-rare-plus, and seasoned perfectly; delicious. The roasted chicken papperdelle pasta was as comforting as a gourmet dish can be. The salmon was tasty and buttery, as was the risotto that accompanies it. The fried chicken was crispy and juicy, and the biscuit tasted like Sunday morning. Ultimately, the food was as delicious as could be and without pretentiousness. *chef’s kiss* Dessert: Cheesecakes and a few hand-made options, including a maple-bourbon creme brûlée and spice cake, both delightful. The brûlée is not overly flavored and had a proper crust. The Spice Cake, which is apparently the chef’s grandmother’s recipe, was as comforting and tasty as could be. Value: 10/10 Downfalls: potentially booths for parties of 6+. Can’t wait to go back!

Working out kinks for new place.Soft Opening thur 1/16. impressed. in spirit of making it better.Root Veg were undercooked many were hard with no give. choose something else than celery in the root veg side with protien(halibut), risotto was undercooked on salmon entree-still tasty-just more chew, entree salad starter was good, suggest less amt of dressing, appetizer of brussels and cheese very good-maybe give more crostini,menus were bit bulky and took up lots of space on the table. table setting was very inviting. Water carafe, plates set.it was just hard to navigate bulky menus even with 4 table seating and only 2 people. wine selection was great and use of riedel glassware is KEY and a plus. creme brulee had just the right amt of fruit to custard and big enough for sharing, spice cake was undercooked, but the cream sauce with it was FAB. Overall. def upscale and refreshing. Columbia folks this is your date nite place!
