Prime & Pint

Kudos to Chef Baxter! He did an amazing job taking care of my party of 34 for dinner. The service was attentive and the food was delicious. My guests arrived and ordered drinks from the bar and talked for a bit and then we proceeded to sit down for dinner about 30 minutes later. We sat at the back of the restaurant which was perfect as they had two rows of tables for our group set up. Filet or chicken entrees were served with family style collard greens, mac n cheese, and smoked squash. I'm not a fan of collard greens but these made me a fan. The smoked squash was sliced and still in the skin and we scooped out what we wanted. Never seen it served that way but it was genius. The smokey flavor was superb. Mac n cheese always a hit.No complaints on the filets, mine was cooked to my liking and was served with oven roasted potatoes. I had a taste of the chicken and it was full of flavor and moist. To get all the entrees out at once shows the kitchen was a well oiled machine and cooking in stride. For dessert we had cheese cake which even though I was stuffed from dinner I managed to eat it all. Joined the clean plate club for sure! Again thanks to Chef Baxter and cooks, the service staff, the bartender, Anna, and the owner Gabe for making my business dinner delicious and enjoyable for my guests. Hats off to all of you. What a great job! Looking forward to coming back for lunch or dinner soon.So busy talking forgot to take pics. But trust me everything was amazing!

Updated reviewSince the reopening, under the stewardship of Chef Bryan, the establishment has been on a path to recovery, with Kelly being one of the standout performers in this culinary revival. Tonight, however, marked the third visit post-relaunch, revealing some underlying issues that need addressing.The steak, a centerpiece of many a fine meal, was overcooked, suggesting a lack of precision in the kitchen's timing or temperature control. Service was also a point of contention; the attentiveness expected in fine dining was absent, with the waitress seemingly overwhelmed by the evening's demands.The sole redemption of the evening came in the form of the king crab legs, which were executed to perfection, hinting at the potential that exists within this dining establishment. The inconsistency in tonight's experience underscores the need for a more rigorous quality control and staff training to match the expectations set by the likes of Kelly's exemplary service.1st review1. Rating: 3.5 stars.2. The menu descriptions at this establishment fell woefully short of expectations during our visit.3. We visited this restaurant for the first time and intend to return in the future; no reservations were needed for three guests on a Saturday at 4 PM, although it might have been beneficial.4. Cons included poor quality tea and unsatisfactory water filtration, a charred/burnt ribeye steak, and underwhelming glazed carrots.5. Pros comprised of a server named Cash excelling in upselling and offering samples that led to multiple beer purchases, high-quality steaks with exceptional cuts, small potatoes adding a nice touch, appealing bread and topper board, a highly recommended mustard fern salad, ideal fillet steak preparation, and an outstanding burger.Edit. It is worth noting the restaurant also stocks Smithy, modern cast-iron pans we were exceptionally happy to see this and ended up purchasing about $500 worth of gifts to give away

Absolutely loved this restaurant for a Friday date night. We were thankful to get a table as we didn't have a reservation. The hostess was extremely personable and bubbly, setting the tone for our entire evening. Our server, Adam, continued the theme. The prime burger with havarti was delicious and the fries crispy. The star (to me) was the butternut squash ravioli (which happened to be the pasta special). The butter cream sauce was so yummy and the bread crumbs added a lovely light layer of crunch to the pasta. We both split the chocolate cake which was flavorful without being overly rich. Will definitely keep this in our rotation of date night places.

We were planning to have a birthday dinner at other restaurant in downtown Nashville but the GPS said it would take us 2 hours to get there. Well, we changed our plan! We've dined in most of the restaurants in Columbia already. Why not trying a brand new restaurant.We ordered Beef bone marrow and Crab cake for appetizers. The bone marrow was seasoned well but the size was really small compared to other restaurant that served the same thing in the same price range. Crab cake was interesting. I got spoiled with Maryland crab cakes for over 10 years and my standards are really high when it comes to crab cakes critique. I will skip on reviewing this dish just to be fair :)My husband ordered Chicken Cordon Bleu and collard greens for the table. I got grilled pork chop. Chicken Cordon Bleu was delicious. Collard greens was okay. My pork chop was overcooked and a bit dry. Our waitress informed me that it is a thick cut pork chop and it will be pink on the inside which it is supposed to be pink for a perfectly cooked pork chop. She said a lot of customers send it back claiming that it was undercooked. Oy vey! I got it overcooked tonight. Thanks to all the people who freaked out over myoglobin!We were not in the mood for steak tonight but we will come back for it next time. I saw the table next to us ordered ribeye and it looked perfectly medium rare. I am excited for the next visit now.To the staff, thank you for finding a candle for my husband chocolate cake. I really appreciate you making his birthday special. Service was exceptional. You guys are amazing!Overall, it was a great experience dining here!

Had lunch at Prime and Pint today because someone had recommended. Great choice. Super cozy atmosphere and good background music. We were greeted & seated quickly. Service was friendly and efficient. We all enjoyed our food. It was half price burger day and two of us ordered that which was delicious. Also had wedge salad and it was very good. We all would definitely go back! Great to have this in Columbia. Very solid all the way around!

We had a wonderful experience here! Came with some coworkers after work. Had the burrata and charcuterie as appetizers and got a delicious bourbon drink with honey. For the entree, many of us got the filet and it was delicious! Cooked perfectly rare as I wanted and it was very flavorful as well! I was honestly scared of being disappointed but the food was amazing! It is expensive however but it's good for a nice evening. Servixe was spectacular. We had a very knowledgable waiter and he was ahle to offer many different recommendations for the table. Vibe is definitely upscale and modern. Will be back!

Best burger I have ever had. Great atmosphere. Very cozy. Fries cooked in beef tallow were very yummy. Can't wait to return for more.

Expensive, near 1 hr wait for food on a Fri night after ordering. After inquiring about our food, it was pulled off the line (someone else's order) sloppily provided to us, looked horrible and puny in size , and served with the explanation, "our normal steak dinners take 1-1.5hrs to prepare". Don't bother spending your money here. Drinks were good, manager tried to make amends, but really not worth it at all.

Was a walk in on Valentines and had the fixed menu. Didn't know what to expect but it was stunning! Great service! Lovely people! Great food!

Wonderful food, service, and vibe! For my wife's birthday, I wanted to take her somewhere fun that we hadn't been before and this was an absolute hit!Our server Thomas, was attentive, funny, and took great care of us. My wife even commented on how great the pacing of the meal was considering we ordered our appetizers and entrees at the same time. It takes some skill for a server and a kitchen to nail that and we really noticed. We had the Burrata (the tomato jam on this one was beautiful), a ribeye, filet, truffle fries, Mac and cheese, and chocolate cheesecake for dessert. Everything was cooked to perfection and we ate every bite even though we were stuffed. I HIGHLY recommend coming out to Prime & Pint and supporting a locally owned business. Truly hit it out of the park!
