Columbo's — Restaurant in South Carolina

The food didn’t get any rewards as it never appeared.

For complete transparency, we arrived at 9:00 pm, an hour before closing. Just an attempt to be positive here, menu looked awesome. Love that this place is next to a comic store. I would be slightly more excited for the store if it was open.

We walked in, sign said please wait to be seated. This is where my confusion started as there was no one at the front desk.

Walked to the innkeeper at the back and they said just seat yourself in the common room. We took advantage of the advice and sat down. We did see two other humans in the room but they didn’t have any food. Started to be curious if we missed a town crier, post in the central square about the place closing early, or it being raided by goblins. No one likes goblins. Sorry if you are a goblin reading this.

If you are a goblin reading this, know that the constant raids to steal all the chickens and crops puts you in an unfavorable position with the townspeople.

I decided to go to the tavern located to the side of the common room at the inn. As the tavern had a human who looked to be at work and four additional people taking advantage of refreshments, I felt hope! While they had no food, I was exited for the possibility of getting directions to the person who was secretly hoarding food behind the hidden door or perhaps owner of a hidden bag of holding. I wasn’t picky at this point regarding the particulars behind food storage.

I sat and listened to a conversation with the bartender and her patrons. I was feeling positive as they seemed well cared for, even to the point of the bartender offering to buy some drinks if the night went poorly.

While I enjoyed the jovial and sometimes therapeutic relationship between a tavern patron and their bartender, I began to feel a bit missed, ignored even. After a short period, I began to speak up as I wanted to make sure I still existed in physical form and hadn’t astral projected by accident.

Some humans lack the ability to see or hear astrally projected adventures.

Apparently my supposition was correct as the bartender rushed out of the tavern to go have a conversation with the innkeeper as I began to speak.

As I returned to the larger common room we made the decision that clearly we forgot the secret code or spell that is needed for food to appear. We decided to slink away in defeat and return to a more pedestrian pursuit of fiery large round combinations of bread and cheese…in other words we...

We booked reservations for this restaurant online and received a confirmation. Upon arriving to the restaurant, we were told that we had to order from a special menu because it was Valentines weekend. This was never mentioned online or in our booking confirmation. When we asked for the original menu we were told no, however, the table beside us was given the normal menu and ordered from that menu. We decided to order our food to go as the normal menu was still available for takeout. I placed my order through yelp/GrubHub. My order was received and excepted according to the email that I received from GrubHub. We waited for our order and had 2-3 drinks. After receiving an email that stated that our order was complete we went to the bar to pick up our order. We were told that they do not do takeout orders through online platforms. So our order was never made but the money was taken from our account. We had to contact GrubHub to receive a refund of what we had paid for our food. We could not eat anywhere else because it was Valentine’s Day weekend, and we had already spent two hours in this establishment waiting for our order that never came. Would not recommend. At the end of the night he did comp our drinks, and offer a menu, but we had reservations for any escape room after and had no more time to wait on our order to be made at that point. We had been there for over an...

I went in to Colombo's tonight for dinner and was enjoying the dinner and atmosphere up until the point where a roach went running across the bar. The manager (who was too busy entertaining his family) tried to explain it away by saying they just had an exterminator out and that it is an ongoing thing. He quipped "this is obviously not something we did on purpose." I'm not sure if he thought that was going to make things better or not but I could have done without that comment. Absolutely Disgusting!! Another patron spoke up and stated that this is NOT the first time this has happened in this restaurant and that she has said something to them before about this. The manager then apologized, wiped the roach up with a napkin and walked away. He never came back out of the kitchen. They offered a discount when they clearly should have eaten the cost of those meals. I will never...
