The music is okay.. the crowd was good for me as well. However their food is NOT it. It’s a hit or miss on the steaks. The salmon don’t be seasoned enough or fully cooked (still slimy), their cabbage is EEEEYUCCCCK. Their mashed potatoes are very good though. Their drinks are very high and they’re stingy with the alcohol – as in the drinks are very sweet they’re not mixed well. The manager lady with a bob have a very negative vibe seeing females younger (who were just getting food) after the bartender reviewed the IDs the manager came over and said I want to double check. You can tell her vibe was off and she was playing nice. She really did not want us there. It’s like she was waiting on something to happen she literally watched us eat and watched either of us go to the bar or bathroom. Some random guy kept following us around and he lit a cigarette up. I didn’t have any knowledge of it but how I found out is she came up to us telling us we ALL had to go too while smiling deviously and then said something about dress code etc to US. It was fine but don’t wait til we get not only food that wasn’t good we didn’t complain about, asked for a tad bit of liquor in our drinks that wasn’t prepared right that someone else paid for (which we didn’t care about that neither) but you had us pay and give us not only nice nasty attitudes but tell us we had to leave after we got our stuff as if you were already planning that. Not to also mention… when we asked a bit more liquor in our drinks that tasted like Kool aid she said “I’m the manager, ask for a double shot next time” instead of saying that, what she could have said was “ okay no problem it’ll be $$” and left it at that. Lol I did not feel welcomed at all and I’ve been there a few times. Anyways. We still had drinks in our cups and was already telling each other we were leaving after our drinks. Smh. That should be illegal for bar people to do that to people. Let people finish their products or services they PAID for. Then not only that. She kept walking around our table with her friend and they had their hands in their pockets standing as if they’re bouncers or something BEFORE she said anything. We wasn’t even partying we were getting food and had one drink while we waited. See stuff like that I don’t have time for and people need to be mindful of who they’re playing with. Just because someone trying to keep the peace, look good and be classy about things don’t mean they won’t rage war. Be very mindful of who you play with. I didn’t want to believe it was jealousy because we wasn’t even dressed but the way only the WOMEN staff gave off the hate is crazy. Honestly… We just got done from line dancing. In leggings and a shirt with slides, crocks and boots on. We should’ve been turned away as soon as we walked in Smh. Anyway, thank Yall for Yall service’s. I will not be going back there not even for the NFL games that play. Also to add on the bartender wasn’t as friendly neither, you can tell she was a little bit tipsy her eyes were very glossy and she was very dismissive. I gave her a simple order. I had to repeat myself a couple of times because I knew she wasn’t getting it. She was too busy trying to get back to the men she was speaking with when we arrived. The eye contact wasn’t there neither did she have a good tone of voice. I will be calling to speak with a owner soon.

Not able to serve a large crowd in a timely manner. Price on menu was different than price recorded on their/ her phone. Yes, Founder’s Day Event and my Mushrooms were quoted as being 9.50 but, the menu stated 8.00 Dollars. Also, the person who was at the table with me left before her order arrived- I informed the waitress of the matter.

Visited for a birthday brunch on a Sunday. The atmosphere was nice. The bar area was hype with the football games showing. Most of those in the crowd were dressed in their teams’ jerseys and having a good time.
Unfortunately, we went at around 2 pm, and the full menu was not available. So keep the time in mind when you visit. Our waitress was Keeta. She was very friendly and managed our large party of 10 quite well.
The food was ok. Nothing really stood out, but that is mainly due to not being able to order what I planned. Most of our party ordered the chicken and waffles. They enjoyed their meals. One of us got the grits and shrimp and I was told it was really good.
Overall, I love the atmosphere. There is a minimum age (I believe it’s 30 after 6:00 pm), so it’s nice to have a place where grown folks can socialize. Before we left the manager came over to chat with us. Let us know they sometimes have live music or a DJ depending on the night. I do plan to visit again so I can order the pasta

I really enjoy Envee! The atmosphere is great, and I love that it draws a 30+ crowd. The food, drinks, and music are all good. I typically go on Sunday nights when they have a live band—it’s so much fun! Definitely a spot I’d recommend for anyone looking for a more mature, lively environment.

Great place, vibes, older crowd but unfortunately Horrible customer service from Shannon the bartender can tarnish it. Every time I come in, I’m with a regular and I receive less than, poor customer service. Im always nice, cool and respectful. I’ve received service from her over 3 times now and I’m always meet with bad energy/attitude and poor service. I gave her grace the first few visit but my last visit lastnight , she continued to give horrible service. Each time I’ve came in it’s never too busy to not provide quality service to everyone at the bar. She acts like she don’t want to do her job which is servicing the people. I asked for seasoning, waited 8 mins, nicely reminder her and her response was “ I GOTTA WAIT” on top of always getting mistreated when I’m there. She wasn’t busy the entire wait. She’s more attentive to the “regulars” that she knows and that tips her well. She ignores and give poor service to someone she don’t know, that could and would do the same. She picks and choose who she wants to give quality service to. I served/bartended for years, so I understand the job, knows great vs okay and just out right poor service. When I receive okay/good service I tip, although the bill is covered by someone else. When I receive great customer service, I always Tip even bigger. She would never serve me again to find out, because Shannon customer service sucks! It’s crazy how people get jobs to serve others and don’t want to do their job . This review is accumulation of multiple nights.

This past Sunday, 1/4/2026, service was horrendous. The waitress that served us had a nonchalant I don’t care attitude. I didn’t get a chance to eat anything because they ran out of quite a few items. I gave food a one star because I didn’t eat anything but food I’ve tasted have been on point. The owner is super nice, but he needs to make sure they are well stocked for 1st Sundays, and hire people who can provide better customer service and are reliable to show up for work.

I began frequenting this establishment several months back and have been consistently impressed. The atmosphere is lively and inviting, perfect for a night out with a more mature crowd. Envee truly stands out for its delicious food, always served piping hot, fresh, and satisfying. The service is top-notch, with a friendly and attentive staff that manages to excel even during busy times. I highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a great time and a fantastic meal.

I am having a great time. Service is absolutely amazing. It’s legit southern hospitality. The food is amazing as everyone else has said before. I came down when I saw Hank Bilal performing a free event. I’ll definitely be back on Sunday again to vibe with the grown folks.

I saw the introduction of this restaurant in the Columbia eats Facebook page. I’m a foodie so I wanted to try it; they had a soft opening so we went December 28. Their grand opening is New Year’s Eve so no one was in a restaurant we ordered from the menu I got, the oxtail eggrolls that’s what I wanted to try. I ordered okra but it never came to the table but that’s OK. The person I was with ordered chicken wings, mini beef pies and salmon bites. The food was well seasoned, fresh and hot. I would definitely try again. The only thing that was unexpected was the oxtail eggrolls was not in an eggroll shell. It was between a empanada shell and a tortilla , but the flavor of the oxtail was good blessings to you Vee. We met the owner while we were. They were very friendly.

ENVEE Restaurant and Bar. A new establishment at 7201 Parklane Bld in Columbia, SC. This is a nice place for adults 30 years and older. Opens 7 days a week with a happy.hour at 4:30 – 7:30 and specials to include steak night, pasta, karaoke night, jazz, Chicago Steppin classes, Day Parties, live bands, a DJ spot, a Chief on duty, pool tables, a large TV for sports enthusiasts and a fully stacked bar and a dance floor for all styles. We had our company holiday party last night and I included some of the pics from the happy hour. On this day, we listened to 70″s and 80’s classics. There was another private booking since the place did not close until 2am. Our party ate salmon, fried chicken, chops, fried and grilled shrimp, collards, mac n cheese, fries, and mashed potatoes and teas. Also, the specially prepared steak was large and delicious. (tasty & tender) All of the food was tasty and hot. Excellent customer service, and the owner checked to ensure we were satisfied. Yes, I recommend and will return.
Ample lighted parking spaces in front of the building and security. Casual dressing and a spacious venue.
Sunday nights live bands performing. Most of the time, it is free admission to hear these performances of the local artist. However, on Father’s Day 2024, the special jazz guest was Alex Bugnon. I included small clips of performances of local artists on Sunday Night Live. KATERA, RUSSEL PERKINS of Columbia & XPERIENCE SOUL of Greenville
