Booches Billiard Hall

Reviewed By Mumzie9196

We visit booches every time we are in Columbia. Never been disappointed. I've never tried anything but the cheeseburger but they do have other items on the menu. Very limited seating but people are happy to share tables. Definitely will return. Gets pretty noisy & close on Sunday. See you in church! Can’t recommend this bar enough.

A boisterous group meal. The food was good. I was pleased with the salmon and crab cake I had. It was just the right amount of food. Others meals looks very good. The berry dessert was excellent, a little on large side so suggest sharing if you aren’t still really hungry. We had a lot of fun and stayed until close. They were very good to us and joked with our group. Only wish they had cappuccino but I’ll survive. I would return.

It was a good place. The menu had a variety but it was a limited variety. The food we had was amazing. We got the nachos for an App (small size) and it was very large portion and feed 4 with left over. It was very good! Nice atmosphere!! It’s worth a visit.

44 Stone Public House

Food inspired by the great pub food of the British isles with contemporary American insight. Unique beers, quality whiskeys and wines all at an inviting price.

Reviewed By sharono539

We had a small group of 7. They seated us near the kitchen which would have been ok except for the yelling for pickup was a bit disconcerting to me. I liked these little deep fried cheese curds with a really yummy mustard sauce. My colleague raves about the steak sauce which she ordered and had, looked excellent. I ordered salmon and it had the same mustard sauces, and the potatoes were really good. My complaint is the salmon was not cooked thru. By that time I ate around it because it was a huge piece vs sending back. When I mentioned to the server at end she explained it was high end salmon. Well unless I’m in a sushi restaurant eating sashimi I am not eating an undercooked portion no matter how high end. I am sure had I sent it back they would have cooked it through. I may come back and try the steak next time. For the sauce like my friend mentioned.

Other than being totally ignored by the bartender and having to go to the service stand to ask for service, it turned out to be a very good evening. The Katy Trail Pale Ale is excellent. The wings and pizza were very tasty. Would go to this pub again. Hi Chaser193,Thanks for your visit, and your feedback, and my apologies for the bartender's lapse in attention. I'll pass your comments along to the bar staff and remind them to stay on their toes.

I was in Columbia for a few days to visit my family. We decided to get everyone together for a Sunday evening dinner. There were13 of us. We made a reservation ahead of time. Our waiter was ready and extremely patient with our indecisiveness. The food was delicious all around and no one waited for refills. The decor was great with just enough lighting for us older ones. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Ala carte menu makes it easy to share appetizers for your meal. The two of us shared four apps and had more than we could eat. Frog legs, chicken livers, blue chip cheese bread (shrimp on top), and onion rings were all fabulous!

Reviewed By Bob_Hhuwieler

Had a nice steak dinner at CiCi's this evening. Got there before 5 ... 1st in the door. The dinner salad was spectacular as usual. The lobster bisque was just outta this world! The steak was excellent. The shrimp scampi portion was a single large shrimp with outstanding scampi sauce. The side of lobster mashed potatoes was wonderful. The bottle of wine was tasty. And as usual, the house salad was an event in itself! Service was welcoming, attentive, and very professional. Our server was Victor, my favorite at CiCis. I guess we just got lucky ... at least we sure did feel lucky. Another 5-star dinner at CiCi's in Columbia, Mo.
