Reviews for The Vetropolitan “The Vet” in Columbia, SC

We went for dinner around 5 pm. We asked our server if it was happy hour and if so, what are the specials. He said it was happy... hour, then said he wasn't sure what the specials were. He never offered to find out. It seemed like he was preoccupied, so wejust let it go. We didn't wait too long for our food. The crab cakes were full of crab shells and I could tell imitation crabmeat was added. It wasn't the best. I had lamb chops and broccoli, it was good. My husband had the fried fish and didn't like itat all. He left most of the fish. It wasn't seasoned. Read more

First time doing Brunch here. We had a group of 7. It took a little while to get our drinks and even longer to get our food but... it was worth the wait. The DJ was playing great music. The cheese grits with fish and my Hawaii mimosa was on point. Will haveto dine there again. Read more

I had an awesome time! The drinks= awesome! The food= awesome! Customer Service= awesome! We sat at the bar, food came out in a... timely fashion and was well presented. I had the waffle and fried lobster tail with a side of breakfast potatoes. So good! Thebartenders were so attentive and nice. The music was great and atmosphere was such a positive vibe. The only point of confusionwas when we got there. We had added ourselves to the waitlist via Yelp! but that is not what the restaurant uses. As explainedto me reservations are taken directly through the restaurant. Good to know if going with a larger group. Needless to say, I'lldefinitely be back to try more menu items! Read more

The food was amazing! I had lobster tales with four lamb chops with collard greens and mashed potatoes. It was so good I ate it... with my eyes closed. But one of the staff was nasty and another waitress was nasty! But the waitress that came over to take myorder was extremely sweet! She took my order and brought it back super fast! Even the drinks was amazing! I got to go back tomake sure the food was super good like I thought!!! Read more

The vibe only is 5 stars. HOWEVER, the wait time to be served is very slow. We sat for at least 40minutes without so much as a... drink order request. The food was okay. The greens dip tasted like greens and cheese just thrown together in a bowl; unblended.It looks that way as well. Chips to go with the greens over cooked as well...They should consider dicing them greens intosmaller bits and adding heavy cream or cream cheese to actually call it something edible. The wings were okay but if a customeris offering to pay extra for all flats, why not let them have all flats? For this establishment to be veteran owned (as I heardit was, I could be mistaken) the customer service SHOULD BE above reproach. BUT even if the food isn't the best and the serviceis slow, the karaoke on Friday was a vibe. I'd go back just for that. Read more

I was really looking forward to trying this place out. I won’t say I was disappointed, but I wasn’t too pleased. I had... grilled pork chops with Gouda Mac and broccoli. The pork chops were definitely over cooked but the flavor was there! The GoudaMac was not so great, not cheesy and could use some seasoning. The alcohol was lacking, more mixture and ice than the actualliquor, definitely not worth the price ($12). Please stop using so much parsley/chives/cilantro on your foods. It’s notnecessary. Overall, not too bad and the environment was nice and relaxing. Read more
