criteria is quality of ingredients. If you crave crisp vegetables, substantial cuts of fresh meats flavored with zingy, tangy sauces, their Thai basil made with white meat chicken, shrimp or beef or pad Thai noodles will please you. 749.9809; taoasianbar.com

Authentic ItalianVILLA TRONCO Possibly the best Italian in South Car-olina, the food is very good and this is Columbia’s oldest restaurant. And what a wine list! Don’t forget to ask for a slice of Carmella’s cheesecake for dessert. See live opera singers the first Thursday of every month. 256.7677; villatronco.com

Authentic MexicanLA FOGATAMexican cuisine has gone competitive in the past ten years as traditional restau-rants have supplanted cheap fast-food chains, upping the ante on who has the best chips, salsa and entrees. It is clear that La Fogata – with its three Midlands locations – is the best choice for excel-lent Mexican food at a reasonable price. 791.8540; lafogatasc.com

BakeryTIFFANY’S BAKERY AND EATERY Since 1977, Tiffany’s continues to be Columbia’s go-to for the best in baked goods. Tiffany’s is famous for ITS petit fours because they’re melt-in-your-mouth scrumptious. Cakes range from the basic to as creative as you dare to be. You can enjoy lunch, too. We recommend a sand-wich on a handmade croissant, but make sure to save room for a sweet something. 736.2253; tiffanysofcolumbia.com

BarbequeMIDWOOD SMOKEHOUSEA newcomer, so to speak, in the ancient barbeque wars is Midwood Smokehouse, an offspring of the legendary Charlotte joint. How you smoke your meat is key, but so are the sauces. Keep everybody happy with a cross section including: South Caro-lina mustard, Eastern NC vinegar, spicy ha-banero and their own Midwood signature. One more thing. Brisket, people. Brisket. 764.1231; midwoodsmokehouse.com

July/August 2018 | 45

AppetizersSALUDA’SStep up to Saluda’s for starters with style. You could make an entire meal of a mix of their taste-tempting appetizers. Flex your Prince Edward Island mussels, pre-pared lovingly with pancetta and roasted tomatoes in a white wine broth and “get your southern on” with grilled scallops in a sorghum vinaigrette with tart apple rel-ish. 799.9500; saludas.com

Authentic AmericanTOMBO GRILLESkip the drive downtown and head to Tombo Grille in Forest Acres. Its wide-ranging menu includes steak, roast hen, salmon, shrimp and grits, lobster pot pie and a burger that topped our 2017 “Best Burgers” list. It is open Mondays ( when many restaurants aren’t), and that’s when you can hear a live band and get a burger and a beer for $9. 782.9665; tombogrille.com

Caterer SEAWELL’SThis family-owned and operated business is now in its third generation. Once one of Columbia’s first drive-in restaurants, it evolved into a full-time caterer with one of the city’s largest reception centers for weddings, corporate events, office parties, trade shows, tailgating, buffets, and ta-ble-served meals. 771.7385; seawellscateringsc.com

ChefMIKE DAVIS Chef Mike is proud to offer the best sim-ple and seasonal sustainable foods at Ter-ra Restaurant. A graduate of Johnson & Wales Culinary School, Davis is a pro-ponent of the slow foods movement. He is renowned for changing the state’s cu-

tic maple syrup. Freshly-squeezed juice, freshly-brewed coffee (with real cream!) and farm-sliced bacon or spicy sausage complement waffles, crepes, pancakes or however-you-want-’em eggs. 782.6742; originalpancakehousencsc.com

Burgers GRILL MARKSWhat makes a burger great? Top quali-ty beef? Check. Flavor? Check. Bun and condiments? Check. Grill marks? You bet! Along with the great Grill Marks burger, pile on shoestring fries, Vista ambience, friendly wait-staff, full bar, and ice-cream drinks, like the “freak shake.” It’s like a second childhood for adults, but actual children adore it, too. 661.8932; grillmarks.com

Candy TASTE OF THE SOUTHYour out-of-town friends and family will go nuts when you treat them to something from Taste of the South. Chocolate cov-ered pecans and pralines are their spe-cialty. But that’s just the tip of the can-

linary landscape, which is apparent here in Columbia with a wide variety of new restaurants opening their doors. Colum-bia thanks you, Chef Mike! 791.3443; terrasc.com.

Coffeehouse DRIP Coffee isn’t just about that jolt most of us need to get percolating in the morn-ing. It’s a social thing. Drip is a unique, independently-owned café in Five Points, where the atmosphere is as smooth as the coffee. Come for the java but stick around for the great music and camaraderie. 661.9545; dripcolumbia.com

CrabcakesBISTRO ON THE BOULEVARDThis friendly restaurant near the lake wins accolades from repeat customers for its se-riously solid menu. But it’s the mouth-wa-tering crab cakes that garner rave reviews over and over. Each crab cake is house-made with the ideal blend of lump crab-meat, spices, and just enough breading to give form and flavor to the patty that’s cooked to perfection, every time. 369.1332; bistroontheblvd.com

Desserts NONNAH’SInteresting fact: Nonnah’s offers a bar and full menu, including brunch, and it is tru-ly delicious fare. But to experience a won-derful world, “start with dessert!” So, we shall, because Nonnah’s is deeply-rooted in our favorite locale: creamy, dreamy, zesty “dessert world.” Pro-tip: grab some pals, get a small table, order four to six desserts and share. Unparalleled delights! 779.9599; nonnahs.com

Family Restaurant HENRY’SWith three Columbia locations, Henry’s is the perfect place to go when everyone in your crew wants something different. Classic burgers always satisfy, but try a surf-and-turf take with grilled shrimp and onions or a Greek version with feta and Kalamata olives. Don’t forget brunch, where chicken tenders and crispy waffles share a plate that just needs syrup to make it irresistible. 708.4705; henrysgrillandbar.com

Ice Cream SWEET CREAM COMPANYSweet Cream Company on Main Street offers small-batch, hand-crafted, rich and creamy flavors. Grab a cone at lunch or an on-the-way home from work snack on a famously hot summer afternoon. Unique flavors push the boundaries and put your grocer’s freezer offerings to shame. Selec-tions change frequently, so try that one calling your name today. 251.3311; sweetcreamcompany.com

Late Night MenuYESTERDAY’S A Five Points anchor for decades, Yester-day’s is a homey tavern offering Southern American cuisine. The college crowed knows it’s the late-night place to be, but the burgers, deli sandwiches, chicken fin-gers, nachos, soups and salads are good for lunch or dinner, too. Large parties are welcome but better call ahead. 799.0196; yesterdayssc.com

Lunch SpotDIPRATO’S This is the people’s pick for best lunch with good reason. DiPrato’s is known for its famous pimiento cheese, which is also available for takeout. It’sSignature sand-wiches, hot Paninis, and to-die-for salads can’t be beat. Being locally owned and op-erated and service with a smile only add to all the other reasons to head over at noon. 779.0606; dipratos.com

New Restaurant BODHI THAI DININGThe transition of the old bank building on Main Street in Lexington is all the rage. Strangers stop you on the street to insist, “Eat at Bodhi Thai!” The food truly soothes your “Bodhi” and soul, and you


can take that to the bank. Reservations are advised. Street parking is limited, but there are spaces in the back. 957.1994; bodhithaidining.com

Organic FoodROSEWOOD MARKETOpen since 1973, Rosewood Market is the place to go for organic produce, pastured pork and other goodies supplied by local South Carolina farmers. The deli offers daily lunch and dinner specials, to eat in or to go, as well as soups, salads, desserts and baked goods to satisfy any taste, from the strict vegan to the keenest carnivore. 785.1083; rosewoodmarket.com

Outdoor DiningMR. FRIENDLY’SAuthentic Southern cuisine is one secret behind the success of Mr. Friendly’s New

Southern Café. What Midlands’ residents might not know is that it is also the best place for al fresco dining. The shade of the tree-lined patio adjacent to old railroad tracks gives its Deep South ambience an-other boost. Mr. Friendly’s exudes the es-sence of Carolina, never failing to charm. 254.7828; mrfriendlys.com

Pizza IL GIORGIONEYou can’t “phone it in” if you want the best. The pizza in this intimate venue, which is romantic enough “for a first or 400th date,” treats you to an experience that leaves cardboard delivery in the dust. Pair your pick with an Italian salad topped with fresh mozzarella. Il Giorgione is cosa eccezionale: a great thing. 521.5063; ilgiorgione.com

Hand-crafted ice cream flavors at Sweet Cream Company


Raw Bar OYSTER BAR COLUMBIAThis unpretentious spot in the Vista has been the real deal since 2001, serving up the freshest raw and steamed oysters topped with the restaurant’s own “Mother Shucker Sauce.” Rounding out the menu are shrimp, scallops and a handful of tasty sides including smoked sausage and our favorite: “Growder,” a combination of grits and chowder topped with bacon and cheese. 799.4484; oysterbarcolumbia.com

Romantic AtmosphereTRAVINIA ITALIAN KITCHEN & WINE BAR This place is definitely romantic. Sofas, a stone fireplace, lots of wines and martinis. Yep, it’s all Italian romance at Travinia.

Two locations – Columbia; and Lexington: 957-2422; traviniaitaliankitchen.com

Salads JASON’S DELIFirst of all, Jason’s has a lovely salad bar that’s fresh and full of healthy choices. But if you want somebody to make your salad, this is the place to go. All menu sal-ads can include salmon or chicken (anti-biotic free), and nearly all are gluten-free. The other reason to order a salad rather than a sandwich is you’ll have room for our favorite part: the free serve-yourself ice cream. 540.1973; jasonsdeli.com

Seafood BLUE MARLIN At the hub of the Vista, Blue Marlin is the kingfish of Columbia’s seafood scene. Blue Marlin’s signature dish is creek shrimp and andouille sausage with Tasso gravy. The oyster and shrimp Bienville and the shrimp and Tasso ham are both are served with hometown creamy Adluh grits. 799.3838; bluemarlincolumbia.com

Service STONEFIRE AMERICAN GRILLA grill in Elgin serves great food along with heaping helpings of service and hos-pitality. At Stonefire American Grill, ser-vice isn’t a mere concept – it is a core value.


IPA-battered fresh haddock, shoestring fries, hush puppies, lemon aioli and house made pickles will tempt anyone’s palate but the outstanding service is what makes patrons feel so welcomed. 419.2332; stonefireamericangrill.com

Steakhouse RUTH’S CHRIS STEAK HOUSE With its stellar national reputation, it’s no surprise Columbia voted it the very best in town. Ruth insisted the best beef be served sizzling hot on plates heated to 5000F, which exceeds the industry stan-dard. Complement your meal with a bot-tle of wine from their award-winning list of over 200 labels from around the world. 212.6666; ruthschris.com

al crab and shrimp, enhanced with avoca-do, tuna, honey, Japanese mayo and bright red roe. Multiple locations. Forest Acres: 743.9996; miyos.com

VeganGOOD LIFE CAFÉEating in the raw is what you do at Good Life Café. Executive chef Sharon Wright prepares natural, wholesome, nutritious and delicious meals and beverages for those desiring a more healthful culinary lifestyle. The menu consists of American, Italian, Indian, Thai and Mexican gour-met cuisines. Many dishes are gluten free. 726.2310; goodlifecafe.net

Water View Dining LIBERTY ON THE LAKE Dine al fresco on the water even if you don’t own a private yacht with a chef. En-joy the sunset while dipping your steak in signature sauces or treat yourself to the Ahi tuna. Get chummy and share small plates of baby back ribs, shrimp or chicken Florentine. Affordable luxury on beauti-ful Lake Murray. 667.9715; libertytaproom.com

Cocktail COLA’SMixologists bring finesse to a curated col-lection of cocktails at this favorite eatery. Mojitos made with fresh fruit juices cap-ture all the brightness of summer flavors and colors. House-made, jalapeño-infused vodka turns up the heat on Bloody Mary’s and oyster shots.

Pub/Tavern HUNTER-GATHERER BREW-ERY & ALEHOUSEA public house or tavern originally meant "any building open to the public that pro-vides food and is licensed to sell ale, wine and spirits." What makes a pub in S.C. is ethereal more than legal, since bars meet those same criteria. Hunter-Gatherer ex-udes a pub atmosphere, with its barn-wood balcony, roughhewn tables and rustic brick walls reminiscent of mid-millennial En-gland. Leave your swords at home, but quench a hand-brewed ale, then order an-other, ye olde pubster! 748.0540; huntergathererbrewery.com

Specialty Drink MOTOR SUPPLY BISTROSure, you know all about farm-to-table dining – but what about “farm-to-shaker” sipping? At this award-winning restau-rant, the cocktails are just as creative as the dishes on the menu.

Recent guests have enjoyed tequila-coconut milk punch and lively strawberry-mint juleps. 256.6687; motorsupplycobistro.com
