    Little lunch reunion for two sisters who hadn't been together in 10 years. It was a very pleasant lunch...food was delicious, portions generous and service well paced which made "catch up" conversation possible, Would visit this location again when in Columbia.

    This was an excellent choice for a pre-Mother's Day celebration. The food was great. I especially enjoyed the attitude, professionalism, and attentiveness of the staff from the time we checked in at the downstairs lobby to the wait staff, assistant manager, and checking out at the elevator. Kudos to everyone involved. My guests, especially my friend's 15-year-old granddaughter was really impressed as this was her first time at this venue.
