you gotta eat here. most professional servers and managers in the world. The food is great but only half of the whole experience. Being in customer service myself makes me appreciate it in other businesses and these people are after my heart!

My favorite eating place

I've never had a bad meal here. The best salad anywhere, followed by excellent prime rib, steaks, and sandwiches. Chicken fingers are awesome!

Good for everyone

This resturant has a story. It used to be a train station back when people traveled frequently by trains. The decor on the out and inside of the building is the proof. It still looks like a train station. However the food is well known by everyone in Columbia as being one of the " must eat" places. For anyone who enjoys and occasional spirit, the strawbeery Daquri is absolutely amazing and I don't even really care for daquri's.Once seated there is a large assortment of appetizers and entrees that may be picked from. My personal fav is Salmon salad with the House Dressing. It is amazing!! There is a new salad called a veggie salad, wow!! The steaks are said to be nothing short of wonderful. The Barbeque nacho appetizers are huge and enough for a meal alone. This is a resturant that needs to be dinned in more than once for sure. A bit upscale but nothing overly fancy.

This former train station retains much of the atmosphere and grace of its previous life. The menu selection offers good variety. Parking is somewhat modest for the capacity, so car pooling is recommended. The wait staff is friendly and attentive. The reservation process is informal and delays in seating are frequent. However, once youve managed to find a parking place and make it to the table, the experience is quite rewarding.

I love this restaurant. It is perfect for a special occasion with the one you love.

I went to this restaurant for the first time on prom night, and then again the next year on prom night. Every time I go there it is a wonderful experience.
