The Aristocrat

Live band was amazing!!! Me and my wife had the spinach dip and the Chicken Alfredo…. Delish🤤 Bartenders Keys and Dakota were attentive and polite absolute dreams! The Cocktails they made us were remarkable and they made it all seem effortless!! Would HIGHLY recommend this place if you are in the Columbia area! I plan to attend their New Year’s Eve bash this year! Complimentary mimosas 🥂❣️Woohoo 🎉

It may have been an off night but this was the worst dining experience I've ever had. Took forever to get our food. One meal came out. 20 minutes later three more meals came out. One person never got theirs. One of the ones who got their meal said it was not fit to eat and sent it back. The place wasn't crowded at all so I don't know what the problem was. They had a little jazz band that was good but the overall experience was not a good one at all. Hope they find their groove because it could be a neat place.

The first two times I came it was incredible: fast service, delicious food and drinks (dealer’s choice pictured), great happy hour deal ($3 well liquor). I think there was a shift in management this summer because things changed drastically: being overcharged for well liquor during happy hour, waiting almost an hour for a charcuterie board (pictured) that had Kraft singles on it (for a $15 app this was …. strange), etc. The chef did bring a different cheese option after I confusedly asked if they were slices of American cheese. The bartender served what tasted like tequila + sprite + curaçao when my friend ordered a margarita (not pictured), but we thought maybe it was some drink she was making as a speciality so we specified “classic margarita” for the second round and were served tequila + orange juice. When asked about it she said she didn’t have the ingredients for a margarita but if I had known that, I would’ve ordered something else because I’m not a fan of orange juice. We ordered the $2 tacos and I specified chicken tacos for myself because I rarely eat red meat. After a while my friend and I got the tacos with a mixture of 90% beef and 10% chicken. I was very hungry at this point so I ate one anyway. When asked about it, the bartender said “oh yeah it’s mixed, guess I should’ve told you.” I think consistency with food and drinks needs to be improved before I return, but I did have a few good experiences in the past.
