Restaurants near Kensington Mansion

We had an awesome experience this time around for dinner! The Resturant was so busy with folks but able to accommodate and provide incredible service and a delicious meal. Our server was Tyler J. He did a fantastic job as he was hustling all night! We were politely greeted and offered time to get appetizers and enjoy our meal. The Fried Shrimp Po Boy and She Crab Soup were just on point! The service was so quick -yet thorough. Tyler kept our drinks refreshed and anything we needed he was on it right away, with a smile. Our food was delicious and hot. Our reservations were honored and we used our generous gift card to enjoy our meal. We sure did enjoy ourselves. We were able to have fun, stay on time -and make both the Gamecock baseball and basketball games Saturday night! Thank you again for an amazing dinner experience!

Everything about our experience was great, except for the room we were in. A large part of the experience at Saluda's is the beautiful main dining room. We were put in a private dining room that is a cold square room with no decor whatsoever, especially compared to the main dining room. I asked if we could be moved as we were being seated and they said they were too crowded. It would have been nice for them to ask if it was ok to seat us there before they took us to the table, because that was not stated when we made the reservation. However, the drinks, service, food and wine were all very good!! We love Saluda's but were surprised about the auxiliary room. We will go back, but we will ask about seating next time!!

The waiter, Ethan, was amazing! Personable, informative, efficient and made the experience enjoyable.

We had our doubts when we pulled up and didn’t really see much of a parking lot or restaurant for that matter, but this place is phenomenal! I live in Blythewood but work on Shaw AFB. It was literally half way between the two and my husband was able to meet me after work, so it might be a little hike, but absolutely worth it! Absolutely 100% recommend trying Mill Pond.

Tupelo Honey is a new restaurant to the Columbia, SC area. My wife and I both ordered at happy hour, the chicken and waffles. We also ordered the onion rings as an appetizer with the soft drinks of lemonade and sweet tea. Our meals tasted great! Our waitress was very attentive and our overall experience was great. Please note, that making reservations in advance are highly recommended or you maybe turned away.
