Room 38 - Columbia

I have enjoyed the food and cocktails in the past at Room 38, but be aware they do not honor Open Table reservations. On the morning of Oct 31,2016 I made a dinner reservation for November 11 for 6:45. Later that day, Oct 31, I changed the time to 7:00. I have confirmation emails confirming. My group arrived at 7, to be told they did not have that reservation noted. After showing my email confirmation, was then told my reservation was for 5:00. I'm not sure how the reservation is entered in their system, but there was no way I made the reservation for 5:00 because I was attending an event at 5:30, prior to dinner. I was asked if I made the reservation on Open Table and the staff just shrugged when I said yes, after showing my email confirmation. If they do not honor the reservation, they should opt out of Open Table. They were unable to seat us, so we went to 44 Canteen and had a lovely dinner, after a bit of a wait.

We had a wonderful time visiting Room 38 and thought the service to be excellent. They absolutely honored our OpenTable reservation and even read the requests section. The food was delicious and so were the cocktails. The seating is different, but really cool and cozy. The servers were stylish and attentive. We would recommend this restaurant to anyone.

I have dined at this restaurant multiple times and it never fails to impress. The food, drinks, and service are all fantastic.

The bartenders were very attentive and accommodating. The waitresses were constantly checking on us and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was great overall, but the Brussel sprouts were a bit disappointing as they were soggy and not crisp. However, the Ahi nachos and pretzel bites were amazing. I especially loved the cucumber and grapefruit martini with agave.

Upon our arrival, our reservation was not found. It seems that their app does not always function properly for them.
