The Aristocrat - Columbia

It might have just been an off night, but this was the worst dining experience I've ever encountered. Our food took forever to arrive. One meal was served, and then 20 minutes later, three more meals came out. One person didn't receive their meal at all. Among those who did, one said their dish was inedible and had to send it back. The restaurant wasn't crowded, so I'm not sure what caused the delay. They did have a little jazz band that played well, but overall, the experience was quite disappointing. I hope they can improve.

What a fantastic place! The atmosphere is wonderful, and the staff is incredibly friendly. They do an excellent job of managing orders while also taking the time to check in and have a laugh with you. I absolutely love it! I can’t wait to return!

The live band was incredible! My wife and I enjoyed the spinach dip and Chicken Alfredo, both of which were delicious. The bartenders, Keys and Dakota, were attentive and polite—truly a pleasure to interact with. The cocktails they served us were exceptional, and they made it all look so easy! I highly recommend this place if you're in the Columbia area. I'm also planning to attend their New Year’s Eve celebration this year—it includes complimentary mimosas! Woohoo!

This restaurant is a must-visit if you find yourself in downtown (plus, it has parking!). The wine and drink selection is outstanding, and the handcrafted cocktails are incredibly fresh and delicious. We tried the BBQ potato skins and a made-from-scratch pizza topped with Mac and cheese—absolutely incredible! The ambiance is so stylish that you can't help but feel trendy while you're there. I highly recommend checking this place out! #TheAristocrat

The food and drinks here are incredible, but what truly stands out are the wonderful people who run this place. The Aristocrat is a top-notch bar located in the heart of downtown Columbia. Whether you live here or are just passing through, be sure to visit this fantastic bar! You won’t be disappointed. (They also serve food!)
