This used to be our favorite Mexican restaurant when I left Columbia 5 years ago. I just moved back here and went to the Monterry for dinner on Saturday night. Couln't figure out why the place was so empty, I can remember having to wait for a table in the past. It became apparent very soon-the servi...
The food was great, but the service was very poor. Even though the quality of the sushi was very good, I would not go back unless they offered delivery (which they don't). The menu was also considerably over-priced.
Fries could be better if fresh fried, usually petrified sitting under glass. Chicken the same. This place is always dirty, dining room walls, booths, glass doors, ceiling, and air returns really look gross. Could be a truly great place if they took a lesson from West Columbia location.
The food at “BAAN Sawan Thai Bistro” is very good, but the overall experience is compromised. We’ve tried it several times in hopes of improvement, but sadly the place reminds us of that Hertz commercial that has the punch line, “not exactly”. It comes across as more of a hobby of owners with more...
Empty for a good reason. The food was seasoned only with [too much] salt and the server could not have cared less that it was poorly made. There was no one at the desk on the way out to mention the problems to.
what a joke of a restaurant. evidently the owner is content with shuttling people in from the two area hotels he owns while he hopes that his hotel guests have no palate? this place is awful. food is warmed up frozen foods, no imagination, nothing fresh. they have a solid happy hour crowd, but thats...
Great food here -- my wife (who is native Japanese) and I dined here several times for everything from sushi to sukiyaki and were always pleased with our meals. Unfortunately, we'll never go back there after some extremely rude treatment by a waitress and a younger sushi chef. After placing our ord...
I met a party at Camon and had a negative experience. The service was very poor, especially for the price of the establishment. The waiter pretty much took the order and brought the food. I had to get up to get my own water and I felt that the lighting was not very good in the restaurant. The dimnes...
Sharon the owner is terrible she wouldn't allow my kids to eat here. So I ate there for lunch today and I will say it was terrible. There was only one table in the entire restaurant and it was myself and a coworker. It was terrible, it was extremely slow and way overpriced. THe server Sally was noth...
I am attending a course at Ft. Jackson, and our class made a reservation there for March 11th. One of our classmates had reserved a private room to hold a baby shower, and the reservation had been confirmed at least twice. When we began arriving at 6:30pm we found that for some reason the room had...
Absolutely the worst Mexican food I've ever had. The food was bland, the salsa was watery, even the mole sauce was just terrible. Seriously.
Tombo Grille was a great disappointment to say the least. The problems started with reservations; my party’s 5:00 pm reservation for Valentine’s Day was changed to 6:30 pm with very short notice. This could have been a much bigger problem if I had to book another restaurant due to the schedule chang...
Don't go! Small "Mom & Pop" restaurant with absolutely no ambience, but pretty good food. No quality of food is worth the abuse we were given. When we called to make reservations for our Ladies Night Out group for the third time in the last six months, we not advised that the menu prices would be...
If you like heavy rock blaring at you, slow, lackluster service and tables that need cleaning, then you found the right place.When they're not talking to their friends, who they've allowed behind the counter, they may have time to sloooowly wait on you. We've tried it too many times to admit to. It'...
Do you enjoy eating Greek food and meat served at room temperature? More than an hour after we ordered, our food arrived. Most everyone had cold food. Thank goodness they had a microwave. Moussaka was bland, probably frozen. Their "Greek-style potatoes" are simply whole Irish potatoes, boi...
Just left the Columbiana Super Buffoonary.... I can say by far this was the """WORST""" food I have ever had in my life. THE FOOD was HARD,OVERCOKED & TASTED TERRIBLE. I could not believe that some would try to pass off that awful tasting stuff as food. I am amazed that the doors are still open. ...
Extremely disappointed. Poor Service, bad attitudes from everyone at restaurant. We have been twice and the second time was even worse than the first. We waited and waited for drinks then food. We got cold food. No one would take responsibility for us and when we spoke with the manager we did n...
This tops my list of the worst food experiences ever. Everything was bad from the wine to the entrée. For starters, I ordered the Kris Pinot Grigio. It tasted as if it had been sitting opened in the cooler for weeks. My second glass of wine, the Sauvingon Blanc was rancid and actually smelled sour. ...

Good food and live music

I'm sorry we've come across in this way. While none of us have degrees in hospitality, we've worked very hard for 12 years (8 at this location) to weather the vagaries of human nature. I can only say that we take care to autopsy each mistake we know we make in the effort not to repeat it. We try our...
