Enjoyed everything about this place! We came on a Saturday evening, with reservations and were seated promptly. Service was professional and attentive throughout the meal. I started with the Hometown Honey cocktail, which was delicious. We ordered the blue crab hush puppies, which we thoroughly enjoyed. For dinner, I ordered the scallops and my table mate got the pork chop. The scallops, though a very small portion, were cooked perfectly and presented beautifully. My table mate was less impressed with his pork chop, stating it seemed a little fatty. Desserts were crème brûlée and a berry cobbler. The crème brûlée was an old reliable, but I think the cobbler missed the mark. It was more like a cake with berries on top, than what you would think of for a traditional cobbler. It was just okay. Overall, it was an enjoyable meal and the service was top notch. I will definitely be going back.

Absolutely enjoyed our time here! The place is really nice and perfect for a dinner date! I am very pleased with the food! We ordered oysters, mussels, pork belly deviled eggs, and the cheese board, and I will say everything was just perfect! Totally would recommend this place to anyone who enjoys great food and great drinks! Our server, Emilee did a phenomenal job taking care of us!

We had a very enjoyable experience overall. The atmosphere was nice, the service was attentive, and the food quality was excellent. Everything came out fresh and cooked just right.
We ordered the New York strip and the ribeye. Both steaks were high-quality cuts and cooked perfectly to our requested temperature, tender, juicy, and prepared well. However, they were noticeably under-seasoned. The lack of seasoning took away from the overall flavor, and the steaks would have been much better with a more generous and balanced seasoning.
With stronger seasoning, this would easily be a five-star meal. Overall, we still enjoyed our visit and would definitely return, but we hope the kitchen adds more flavor to their steaks next time.

I was really looking forward to trying Hendrix after seeing great reviews on Facebook. I travel here once a month for work and was excited to have a new spot to add to my routine.
Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. I sat at the bar and was completely ignored for several minutes. The bartender was making drinks for a couple, which I understood, but she didn’t even acknowledge me. After finishing, she walked away. I was about to leave when she finally dropped off a menu without saying a word — no greeting, no water, nothing.
When she came back, she asked what I wanted to drink. I asked if she could make a flavored tea, and she said no, so I ordered water. I decided on the stuffed quail with dirty rice and greens.
A gentleman sat to my right, and it was clear she knew him. She brought him water and started chatting. Soon two of his friends joined, and her full attention was on their group. She eventually brought my food — which was actually really good — but that was the last I heard from her until I asked for my check. My water glass stayed empty while she refilled theirs; I finally had to ask another waitress for a refill.
The food was delicious, but the service made me feel unwelcome. Even the hostess didn’t say goodbye when I left. I was so excited to try this place, but after how I was treated, I don’t think I’ll be back.
$52 wasted — because customer service means more to me than good food. I even left a note on the receipt that said, “If you were more attentive, I would’ve left a much larger tip.

Tonight was my first time dining at Hendrix and it was an awesome experience. Mekenzie was phenomenally outstanding as our waitress tonight. From start to finish, she did an impeccable job. The food, from the appetizers to dessert AH-MA-ZING-AH!!!
I really enjoyed myself with my friends tonight at Hendrix.

Great American fusion restaurant. Their menu includes dishes that take inspiration from around the world. My favorites were the spicy lamb naan and Peri Peri Chicken. Our server was great and very patient with our large group. Prices were expectedly high, and I’d definitely come back if I come back to Colombia!

When I say one of the best places to go in Columbia, I mean that. From the atmosphere to the food, and the service from the staff was Top Tier. This is definitely my new go to place. My wife enjoyed her birthday dinner and all of the drinks was superb . Just know I’ll always support especially if my favorite waiter “Mary” I think that was her name is there…Thanks again for a great experience.

The staff were pleasant. We were disappointed with the portion size (online photos) made portions appear larger than they actually were. I had the CHF Bone-in Pork Chop, and my spouse had the Grass fed NY Strip. He stated it lacked flavor and was tough to have been NY Strip. My pork chop was good alongside the potatoes. It was nice to have experienced a new restaurant. However, we agreed that we would not be returning. If you’re looking for a nice restaurant with a superb ambiance, this is your place.

Absolutely my favorite restaurant in Columbia. I haven’t had tartare as good as this in my life, and I constantly crave it which keeps me coming back for more. The atmosphere is always perfect and the drinks are always made with expertise. Will be coming for more!
