Review content:
On the advice of a friend, A few of my co workers and I went out to the Columbia for what I thought was supposed to be a nice after work meal. My first impression of the place started before I even got out of my car. A few of the employees were out in the parking lot, goofing off, and making their profanities heard clear across the parking lot. This put me into my first alert, because I had heard that this was a very upscale type of place.\r
We proceeded into the bar area, where the atmosphere was sleepy at best. Our bar tender must have been prone to the sleepiness too, because our food order that came out first, wasn't even our order. I didn't think that our dinners should have come out before our appetizers, and certainly not 5 minutes after I ordered it. The bar tender seemed a little short tempered when we told her that wasn't our order. She did quickly realize her mistake, but it seemed like she was ready to argue before she figured it out. We then proceeded to wait 45 minutes, for an order of calamari, a salad, and an order of onion rings. My friend liked the calamari, while my other friend complained that his ceasar salad was luke warm. I had no problem with the way my onion rings tasted, but I was told by the bartender that they were homemade. I eat out enough, to tell anyone who might not know better, that these must come out of a box or a bag because I have had this exact same kind at several restaurants before. Our dinners came out shortly after that. My one friend, got the lobster special, and only complained about it being a little overcooked. Other than that he did seem to enjoy it. My other friend had some kind of BBQ sauce coated pork chop. He ate most of that himself, only saying that his vegtables didn't seem very fresh. My dinner was the fillet mignon. I ordered it medium, but it came out well done and tough. As we all left unsatisfied, we glanced back into the kitchen, to find more goofing going on. Needless to say, I won't be going back.\r
