We went to the Stanford grill last night and had a less than pleasant experience. There were four of us each having something quite different. The first thing was everyone's food was very spicy. The house and Caesar salad had a bite to them. My daughter had a chicken pot pie while very good was to spicy to eat and... More

Being the foodie that I am, I have been meaning to visit Stanford Grill. But up until yesterday nothing really grabbed me on the menu ( it isn’t very extensive).However, after some ridiculous wait times at other restaurants for Mother’s Day we decided to call them and see how long the wait was to be seated. To my surprise it... More

Had an excellent dinner at Stanford Grill while in Columbia for business, following recommendations from others on Tripadvisor. The crabcakes were great. The service was excellent. The atmosphere was nice. Nice place all around.

We were staying at the Courtyard Hotel that is practically in it's backyard. They were crowded but they managed to accommodate us in one of the smaller tables immediately. Our waiter, Jeff, was outstanding and very attentive and courteous. The menu is the right size so that they can do what they have well. I had their signature rotisserie chicken... More

Piano player and bass player give this restaurant a touch of class missing from alot of places these days. The wait staff is... More

The Stanford Grill, although noisy (doesn't bother me) is a nice place. The booths are plush and comfortable, the hostesses and waiters and everyone else are most pleasant, and the room itself is warm and comforting, an atmosphere enhanced by a gas fireplace. The bartenders pour good drinks. Outdoor seating is an added plus. We have had some good dishes,... More

Always a great time here! Food is really good, first timers please get rotisserie chicken. Live jazz nightly, plenty of parking.
