    Hidden gem, with a fantastic menu, with options for everyone...vegans, meat eaters and everything in between. The owner is concerned about her patron's health, from the menu to the bottled water served in glass bottles with metal lids. The music is performed at a level that allows conversation, without yelling, while enjoying a fantastic meal. I wish I'd learned about this establishment sooner.

    Omg!!!!!! The staff. Ambience, vibe, food, drinks, was amazing. I am definitely coming back. The lamb and crab cakes was so good! I took the shrimp and grits home, it was good the next day. It’s small and cozy so reservations is mandatory! I will definitely be back.

    This was a date night for my wife and I and we had an amazing time! The food was great but if you get the salmon BLT, be prepared for them to put practically a whole salmon in the sandwich. The live band was definitely the highlight of brunch and honestly made the experience. We are definitely coming here again.

    My hubby and I visited for Sunday brunch. The atmosphere was really nice. I had the French Toast and hubby had the Salmon and Grits. The food came out quickly and was absolutely delicious. We loved the live saxophonist and his interaction with customers. We look forward to going again for dinner. This is truly a hidden gem in Columbia.

    Our experience at Chayz Lounge was absolutely phenomenal! My husband and I were celebrating 35 years together, and Ms. Alexander made it truly unforgettable. She always makes us feel like we’re the only couple there, creating such a warm and personal atmosphere. The music is outstanding, and the food is exceptional. If you’re looking for a sophisticated, intimate setting for a special night out or a relaxed brunch with your girlfriends, this is the perfect spot. You won’t regret it!
