Vella's Tavern - Clarendon County

Great service, great food and really laid back welcoming atmosphere. It's one of my favorite places in the Columbia area.

Food is decent, although the meat was not cooked to order (ordered medium rare received well-done). Our waitress took our order and that was the last we saw of her until long after we finished (waited and waited for her to finally show with our check). She never returned during our meal to refill drinks, etc. When checking out, not once did anyone ask if we enjoyed our meal, service, etc., which if they had, we could have mentioned the poor service and dirty/sticky table we had been seated at.

This place used to be great but their kitchen staff has gone down hill. I ordered the ribeye tonight, rare. They brought me a medium steak that I couldn’t eat. I mentioned it to the waitress and she took it back, no problem. And then brought out a new steak that was light gray and ice cold in the middle. Like is this a joke? That’s all I could think. Terrible, for a $26 steak.

Saturday deal is for 2 Ribeyes 2 sides and 2 salads for $35… they need to season the steaks… very good service and value

Very cold in the restaurant and the steak was over cooked. It was okay but nothing to write home about. But my daughter did say the wings were really good.
