Off Menu with Kristian
is a new video series I've begun working on with some of Columbia's top creative people which focuses on local food, drink, music, culture and more. We may even broaden our scope and take you along to other locales around the world. Our first episode takes you out to Emile DeFelice's Caw Caw Creek Farm where he raises some of the most delicious hogs in the nation. You can view the video here . A special thanks to Wade, Lee Anne and Heidi from Coal-Powered Filmworks!

Open Table
A quick note about Open Table, our online reservation system, and booking larger parties. Open Table is set up to only take parties of 8 or more a few times an evening. If you try to book one online, you may be told we don't have space even if we really do, so please call us directly if you need to make a reservation for a larger group. The same can be said for smaller parties, too. Sometimes, the available online slots are filled, but we still have spaces available. Again, just give us a quick call and we'll do everything we can to accommodate your party. Our number is 803-787-3949.

Friday and Saturday beginning at 10PM: REVERSE Happy Hour!
That's right, enjoy Happy Hour pricing at 10PM until we close on drinks and tapas! Also, on any night of the week, if you attend a local theater event...play, concert, movie...bring your ticket stub and get HALF-OFF any one tapa!
