Frisco Columbia Reviews

The food was nice, Latkes a bit fried too hard, the Shepards Pie pretty darn good, but the Jambalaya was fantastic. Really, really good. We were in the back room, so the esthetic was a bit industrial. Not bad, but "warehousey." I would say it was more of a bar with a restaurant than a restaurant with a bar.... My opinion fixed by the terrible, incongruous and totally dining experience ruining techno music, thumping from one of the speakers we were unfortunate enough to be sitting directly beneath. I checked with Jane our waitress, if this place was more about the bar than the restaurant, hence the techno. She pointed out the bartender, who I assume wasn't eating, was a techno fan. As she also pointed out that she was younger than me and that perhaps but for my age, that the incessant droning of machine generated club music, wasn't unappetizing. In any case, Jane was the true hero of the evening. She took action, after I may have become a bit emphatic, and engineered a musical selection not pulled directly from Stanley Kubrick's "A Clockwork Orange." Yeah, so she is younger and maybe I also don't want to sit beneath a really loud speaker playing dance music in a restaurant. But, this is why there is Coke and Pepsi, chocolate and vanilla. Not everyone has to like the same thing. Jane was excellent, food really good, prices very reasonable, and the music was terrible. All this from our electrician Chad's recommendation. He was right about a lot, didn't mention the music.

People remember their most recent experience. Not previous ones. I have been here a couple of times. Primarily the pub side. Atmosphere has always been cool. This most recent visit was to the restaurant/sit down side. The hosts couldn't answer our questions. They didn't seem to care. There was plenty of seating but we directed ALL the way to the back where there was a room divider in place. Clearly this section was closed off for a reason but we were sat in that area. The whole vibe felt off. We walked past numerous empty tables and other patrons before we directed into this area. We were being discriminated as we were the only brown people in the establishment. Needless to say, we left immediately. No one cared to asked us why we were leaving or what happened. That is my last time coming to this establishment.
