  Was in Columbia for the weekend. This was pretty bad. Sad, because I wanted to like it! It’s a cute setup; however, the service and food were just not good. It was difficult getting in touch with the restaurant. We had a reservation, and could not get them on the phone to let them know we were running a little late. Once we got there, we were informed the restaurant does not have a phone. We also had to enter the restaurant though a connected restaurant.. it appears the door wasn’t unlocked. Once seated, the waitress brought out one of our entrees first…. Odd. I didn’t want their food to get cold, so I encouraged them to go ahead and eat. Once my food arrived, I was disappointed in the grits and the eggs. I asked to swap my grits out for hash browns. When the hash browns came, they were pitiful. Hard, not really potatoey… they were the frozen hash browns you get from the grocery store, not shredded, and they were thrown on top of each other, My eggs grew cold from waiting for the hash browns, so I informed the server. She went and warmed my eggs up in a microwave. Lol Won’t be back and will not be recommending at all. Very nice people, but customers pay for a service and experience… just wasn’t up to par. I left hungry.

  The food? Absolutely phenomenal — no complaints there. But the service? A total letdown. For the amount we spent on appetizers and drinks, we expected at least a little professionalism. Instead, the servers acted like they couldn’t care less — distracted, disinterested, and honestly, a little out of it. As long as they continue to hire people like that, they won’t be seeing another dime from us. I don’t care how good the food is — the vibe matters too!

  Horrible food and the rudest excuse for service in Columbia. They will be out of business soon.

  Very excited to try this restaurant, we were pleased with the food and drink but the service is horrible and the two young men that waited on us should find another career. The bar tender was great and attentive but the other two male servers were not. He told us the ONLY other table had reservations and they would serve us when they had time after we had been seated for 30 minutes. We asked to order brunch at 2:11 pm and he then informed us that brunch cuts off at 2:00 pm after we had inquired about items on the brunch menu. It would have been nice to know this prior to 2:00! So try at your own risk.

  Brunch, girls day out - You know the delight of going to a nice restaurant when all of the entrees are presented at the same time .... Well you can expect the very opposite at the Robinson Room. Entrees were brought out one at a time with a great deal of space (at least 5 minutes) in between each service delivery For instance, my eggs for my gritts were served a good 5 minutes before the cold grits were brought to me. We watched the coffee get made one painful cup at a time (we are not talking anything beyond regular coffee). Same for the simple mimosa cocktails. We had to ask for milk and sugar, though sugar was not even available. Everyone was served cold brunch and it is very awkward when items are served more than 5 minutes apart! The atmosphere is quite pretty, but brunch at the Robinson Room was a HUGE disappointment
