"In town for parent’s weekend and arrived early ahead of an 8:30 res. Host not only made the call to seat us early but also accommodated a request for outside seating. Weather was unusually fantastic for Cola. Service and food were as exceptional…thoroughly enjoyed the experience! Will def. return!"

"Ordered the Tandoori Shrimp for $35. I was surprised when my meal arrived and there were only 4 shrimp. Especially when everyone else at my table seemed to have significantly more food. Chicken Mango Curry $27), Shrimp Tikka Masala $33), Chicken Tikka Masala $27), Tandori Salmon $32). Everyone had plenty of food. But the Tandoori Shrimp were just 4 mid sized shrimp. I was not impressed and not filled. However all the meals were delicious. We ordered desert after. After debating on a few different items, my dad ordered some dish with chesecake cubes that I can't remember the name of. What the waiter brought out was Tiramisu Dusted Cake. We informed the waiter that this was not what my dad ordered and the waiter insisted that it was, despite us repeatedly pointing at the menu where it said cheesecake. The waiter insisted that this item was in fact cheese cake multiple times. My Mom ordered the Rose Petal Icecream, however what she was given is Mango Rasmalai which was room temperature and tasted like soggy mango flavored bread). When the waiter was told it was the wrong item, he brought out strawberry icecream, which was also not what was ordered. But at this point we had given up. On the plus side, my sister ordered Gulab Jamum Gelato and actually got what she asked for. But that should be the standard, not the exception. We were then asked if we were visiting for an event and we told them it was my parent's 34th wedding anniversary. At this point we were given ACTUAL cheesecake with a candle so they do know what cheesecake is) and we were told we were being brought out champagne. Instead of champagne, what actually arrived was some mix of Bailey's Irish Cream, Fireball Whiskey, and something else. Which was delicious, but again, not what we were told and not what was requested. It was very loud and often times hard to hear the waiter. So in addition to saying the item name as loud as we could, we also pointed at the menu item every time we ordered, and still the order was gotten wrong. Had a good time overall despite the problems. Edit: After initially leaving a two star review, the owner reached out to us to make it up to us. Despite having nearly 5000 google reviews, the owner cares about his customers and his business. I respect that and feel satisfied in the response. Thank you for reaching out to my family."

"It was my wife's birthday and we were never asked if we were to celebrate. It was our first time in this facility and we had to ask for bread. If bread on request a first customer would not know. I do not say that bad services were given, but there is definitely room for improvement. For many it is the small things that make a good experience a great one. Our server was not bad, but the overall experience is not what I would have expected from a place that is considered a fine food."

"This restaurant is absolutely amazing for a dining experience. My wife and I recently celebrated our anniversary dinner there, and it exceeded our expectations. We ordered the swordfish special and the pork porterhouse, along with appetizers and drinks. Our server, Alicia, was very knowledgeable, attentive, and respectful. She even surprised us with complimentary champagne. The meal was worth every penny spent, and I was completely impressed. I will definitely be returning in the future."

"My husband and I celebrated our anniversary here, and we were absolutely amazed. The food, the wine and especially the people were incredible. Everyone was so incredibly friendly and nice. The employees have all signed us an anniversary card and everyone wishes us a happy anniversary. We both ordered the steak, and it was the best steak we had in the last memory. We will visit this place again and again."

"We have eaten there numerous times in the past and have always enjoyed the food. This time however, the food was no way up the the standards as before. Everyone at our table of four ate let than half of the order. The sauces were to oily and the pasta was stuck together in big clumps. Took it home but threw it away."

"This was our third visit to Cola's for a birthday dinner and it was a wonderful experience. We get to Columbia a few times each year and Cola's has become one of just a couple restaurants that we really enjoy. Each time there has been a unique fresh fish entree on the menu that has been outstanding."

"The staff tried. The food was wedding food, and not oh wow that is great wedding food just eh I can eat some of this to survive. The Maitre D came at the end, when our card had already been taken, and asked about the meal. We were polite but let him know we were not satisfied. We told him we understood staffing trouble and he told us the troubles they were having. He said dessert was on him but then said bill had already been rung so he gave us a note for the next time? he took our plates of dinner which had barely been touched and when asked if we wanted a box and we quickly said no he didn?t once offer a refund or any compensation beyond the dessert. They are dreadfully understaffed so taking 30 minutes for a drink, having empty water glasses for another 30, an hour until apps are all understandable with the staff issue. My dirty martini wasn?t dirty. My husbands mint and cucumber mojito had no mint the second time. The only food that was what we would call in the range of good was escargot and the fried oysters. The Brie tasted as if it had turned. The seafood chowder was bland, the Cesar salad was soggy, the ribeye was COVERED in bland brown gravy, chicken piccata was flavorless and a bit chewy and all the vegetables seemed to be ready for purée they were steamed and no detectable seasoning. We actually asked an hour and a half in to cancel the entrees if not started, we just wanted to leave. The waiter said they were almost ready and being people who hate to waste or inconvenience we said okay we will wait. We shouldn?t of, the meal and tip was $200 and we still had to get another meal that night. It was our 10 year wedding anniversary and our original plan for 18 21st was canceled due to a flooded kitchen. This place was recommended as somewhere to dress up for and get great food. It would make for a romantic wedding venue and had we just gone for a drink we may have had a different view but the food, it just was not good if you like flavorful food, or .. fresh food. The picture of the steak is after he tried to scrape off the gravy."

"Okay… I would normally not consider chain restaurants…but! I’ve been traveling for the last 3 days now and I really wanted pasta. I called Delucca’s several times for 30 minutes and got greeted with busy signal then I tried Al’s and the person was so rude I hung up. Carrabba’s came through for me! They were very professional and their phone etiquette and customer service was a breath of fresh air. The food turned out very delicious. I made my own pasta and it was exactly what I was craving! A Huge Thank you to the Staff at Carrabba’s!"

"I 'm older, Stanford is older. This is still a nice stop, likely at times a very nice place. With today 's prices $35 with tip for great burger/fries/iced tea) its nice to go somewhere that rewards that with solid execution on the food. The service is still very good, likely top for this segment of restaurant. The decor, and fit and finish of the room remains very nice, right on the verge of elegant. They had the fireplace going today, a sunny but cool Monday. I came in with a group of co-workers that seems to be a theme). I can make the observation that something is a bit more casual about the people that come. I 'm not at all trying to wish this place into snobbery- that 's what I have liked about it, the democracy of anyone that can afford it here can feel comfortable. There is a slice of clientel that has the money or credit). I saw more jeans today, I saw more flannel shirts. I still saw suits/jackets. ties, dresses and nice shoes- so the 2014 version that I first encountered is still here. I suspect dinner is a bit of a different crowd and dress code. The next time we need a special night, we will have to come in the evening."

"A great experience! I was extremely pleased to have a dinner in which I didn't feel rushed to get the next customer seated. The food was prepared professionally. Being it was our first experience, we were treated wonderfully and had everything explained. It's someplace I highly recommend that everyone try at least once. For us, we will be back again! We had the 4 course meal and by far our favorite was the shrimp and lobster cooked in the mojo seasoning. I'm sure my wife would argue a little and say it was the white chocolate fondue with Heath bar melted in it."

"My wife and I tried a new restaurant for our anniversary this weekend. The food was very good. The weather outside was beautiful so we were able to enjoy a seat outside. We were very glad that it worked out for us to sit outside because it was quite loud inside. Under other circumstances we would have likely been fine with a more energetic ambience. Our server was fantastic and gave us great advice on the drink menu the appetizers and a few entrées. Overall we were very pleased with our visit and look forward to coming back!!"

"I liked this place for a meeting because there were many vegan options. I always like when there are so many that it is hard to decide. I ordered the Crispy Brussels Sprouts as an appetizer and the Vegan BBQ Beef Sandwich as my entree. They both arrived at the same time. Our waitress was a little scattered or overwhelmed, and she probably needed help. She got orders wrong, and it seemed a wrong communication to the point that one of our orders was missing. When we got our bill, there were articles that no one had ordered. I was in DC several times without problems. I will probably return to this, or try one of the other locations instead of visiting here again."

"Great place!. I live near this place and go there quite frequently. I would put her food up against Maiwand Kabob any day. She has a large Afghan and American menu. Pizza and sandwiches are also available. The pizza is really good and much better than Pudgies, around the corner."
