We haven't found one in Columbia but would love others to help tell us what is good here!  We have snotty pallets from the NY/NJ area and haven't found anything we love here yet!  We went to a good one on New Years in Columbia called Moe's Grapevine.  It was on Rosewood.  Very reasonably priced as well.

What about Diane's? Or the chain restaurant California Dreaming...I just the like building and the house dressing, is SOOOO good!

I totally understand about the food snob issue, since moving to Charleston I have to watch what I say in other towns, I sound awful! One night my mother looked at me, like "my child just didn't say that..."

I have a snooty pallet too but my husband has a tight wallet.  We like Diane's but its a bit much.  Saluda's in 5 Points is one of our favorites.  My most favorite is Gervais & Vine on Gervais Street in the Vista.

Garibaldi's is also a favorite.

Went to tonight to Red Bowl Asian Bistro in Sandills and shared a dish b/c we heard it was a lot of food.  It was really good and with soup and sharing a dish was just the right amount and for under $20.  We have a very tight budget as well!

In Columbia I like the Baan Sawan, Mr. Friendly's (shrimp & steak salad), Za's and brunch at Liberty.  I do NOT like that new place Tsunami.  Also, try Garibaldi's, I love love love the flounder.  Mmmmm, and Nonnahs, cake, coffee, good wine and fun art.

In Charleston, I like The Mustard Seed, Saffron's, Shem Creek Bar & Grill and the Banana Cabana on IOP and some restaurant at the Bohicket Marina (can't remember the name).  Magnolia, Cypress, Blossom, SNOBs, Five Fulton, and Garibaldis are really good.  Hyman's, Poogans Porch, 1862 Queen and most of the others are just overhyped tourist traps.  There's a candy store on S. Market St (starts with a K, can't remember the name) that's great.  I like to go there, get treats, and see if I can grab a swing on the boardwalk.

In Greenville, I like Charley's steakhouse in downtown, all of the Stax restaurants and City Grill (good salads).

DH and I love eating at Congaree Grill in the Vista...it has southern food but with a gourmet twist, and the prices are very reasonable. We also like Vella's in Cayce....it is definately a laid back atmosphere, but the service and food are excellent.
