Opened in 1989, this spot has nothing to do with automobiles, but it will fill you up. Come for lunch or dinner to this long-standing, farm-to-table restaurant in Columbia's historic Congaree Vista area.
The American/Southern-forward menu with global influences changes daily but may include savory dishes like tender, smoked pork belly resting atop a bed of creamed corn studded with chorizo or pan-seared golden tilefish with Carolina Gold rice and a saucy medley of sweet corn, okra and tomatoes. Nostalgic flavors inspire the chocolate peanut butter bar, where high-quality ingredients and terrific contrasting textures create a spot-on dessert.
