Columbia Social Cafe & Bistro (CLOSED)

Wonderful food served in a rarely found upscale setting for this area. Visited on a nice date, finding few other options around, but totally fell in love with it. The food is fabulously prepared and refreshing. Great portion size and great price!

Been 3 times in the past 2 months. I've had nothing but a wonderful time. Food has been great, and our server has been attentive and willing to make this a very welcome place to go.

I am a sucker for your brunch, Columbia! I discovered it a few months age. Came with my boyfriend after a looong night out. Jazz was mellow. Mimosas were great, with freshly squeezed juice. And they were unlimited!! For $19 a person we got unlimited drinks, and wonderful breakfast burrito. We decided to come back. we have been coming back since. And when we don't feel like drinking, we go for one drink, one coffee and a brunch meal for 12.95. Food is always amazing, and servers are always great, we feel mothered! (And btw, it seems one of them is going to be a mama soon :) Totally reccomend it if you are into great food and atmosphere for your Washington Heights weekend morning.

I came here for Sunday brunch, and although the atmosphere was excellent with the bass & guitar player, the rest of the experience was barely good. The service is much to be desired- not terribly bad, but not good either. My challah french toast, instead of being gooey and soft, was more along the lines of challah bread that had simply been toasted (and slightly burned). Also, the french toast had apparently rubbed up against someone elses meal at some point because there were large pieces of garlic on one piece of toast. Lastly, not only was their juice served in a tiny glass FILLED with ice, but, it was tropicana(or another boxed brand). For the price paid and the expectation of this place, Id expect fresh squeezed juice or at least a proper serving of the boxed juice.

I am constantly having problems with this restaurant. First of all, they tried to charge me $2 dollars to sub the grilled string beans for fries with my burger while both string beans and fries are $6 dollars on the sides menu. When my medium-rare burger came it medium-well closer to the well side with absolutely no pink. When I called to report this the lady offered to take it back, which is cool, but I was starving and only wanted to file a report where she said I had to call back tomorrow. No, you can take a message now and leave it for your boss. To leave on a good note- their honey mustard dressing is nice. This review comes from someone that has been a server for years and took take-out delivery orders for a year before that.

Exactly all the food is basically frozen, the funny part is that they charge like if the food was actually all natural and fresh very expensive . Delivery service is poor; super rude and always make mistake on your order . Orange juice is tropicana from a box they charge almost 4 dollars . Lol incredible the egg Benedict the sauce is not home made don't waste your money.

It's like a small miracle. A decent restaurant in Washington Heights. This is much better than the previous restaurant at this site and a welcome addition to the neighborhood. I had the Onion Soup and the Kobe Burger and my friend had the salmon. The soup was unique in that it was not the usual dark brown stock, but rather more of a chicken stock and the onions are real and al dente. Different, but good. I asked for my burger rare and got it that way. Very good quality, fresh meat. The fries were crispy and tasty and served with ketchup and mayonnaise. I usually have to beg to get mayo. My friends salmon was perfectly cooked and delicious. Both plates were attractively presented. The service was prompt and courteous. There is real hope for this area.
