Best Local Resturants

Going out for a meal at a restaurant has become somewhat a social event in today’s culture. We love to meet friends and family and talk over great food. Here in Columbia, South Carolina we have many good chains but we also have excellent local restaurants. In fact there are so many good local eating establishments that you could try a new one every night for a year. Have you tried Miyo’s, Willy’s, or Catch 22? If not then this is the guide for you. I will go over some of my very favorite local eateries. I hope you get out and enjoy some of these establishments as much as I do. 

Recently, I met up with several friends for dinner at Miyo’s. Miyo’s has been around for some time in Columbia, South Carolina  but recently expanded to a new location in Harbison. If you haven’t tried this gem, you are missing out. Miyo’s on Bower Parkway is the only one of the several Miyo’s restaurants that serve sushi and it is a great place for a sushi beginner. The California Roll is like Sushi with training wheels and is so fresh here. It contains no raw meats just Avocado, Cucumber and Crab (cooked) rolled in rice and seaweed. My non sushi experienced friends tried a piece of mine but still preferred their beef wrapped asparagus rolls. I love them both! I could eat here several nights a week and have a different type of meal each time. The other locations on Forest drive, Main street, and M Café on Sumter Street share the same menu minus the sushi. They have a wide selection of very healthy fare and very tasty too as well as the fried stuff that I just can’t seem to keep away from. Go for happy hour at the Harbison location on Bower and get excellent deals on cocktails and special appetizers, like lobster spring rolls and crab wontons for two bucks.
