    No restaurant is perfect. However, I have only ever had 5 star service and food at Saluda's. Tonight, our server Nancy did an amazing job. This is a must experience in Columbia, in my opinion. The value for your money is frankly hard to believe. Don't hesitate.

    Took my team here for dinner and we had a great time. The food was excellent the only thing that wasn’t top tier was the service. To her defense she had entire area by herself and was working very hard to accommodate everyone. Maybe should get the waitress more help on a busy Friday night she she isn’t so overwhelmed.

    Tonight we celebrated two friend’s birthdays at Prohibition. It was our first time here and the experience did not disappoint. The atmosphere was rustic, inviting and very clean. There are two large sitting areas and plenty of room at the bar while you’re waiting on a table (if you don’t have reservations). The manager, bartender and our server (Katie)were all very friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. We had the cherry sour, old fashion and carolina wren. This is a tapas style restaurant. We shared the charred wings, shrimp fried rice, Brussel sprouts and the pierogies. All phenomenal. For dessert we had the lemon poundcake. We enjoyed our experience tonight and will definitely return!
