   Return guests but this visit lacked the quality we received on earlier visits. Ordered 3 medium steaks had to return to kitchen as they arrived medium well-well done, and the sliders were overcooked and under dressed. Re-ordered 2 of 3 items and though the server and manager apologized they did not offer a comp or credit a portion of the bill, yet our entire party ate separately. It was not busy, for reference.Hopefully an off night.

   Venue was beautiful but everything seemed disorganized. The server forgot to ring in multiple items we had ordered and our medium rare steak came out well done. Server also seemed to not be familiar with the wine list or the menu. Food came out before drinks did. They also have this cart where they bring steak to the tables so we had to keep scooting in and out of our chairs so the carts could get by. At the end we were charged for a bottle of wine that we didn’t order. All in all not the best experience but would try again in a few months after the kinks are worked out.

   We really enjoyed our dinner! The beef cheeks and bread were our starters, we enjoyed the presentation bc it was served uniquely. The steaks were reasonably priced, and very delicious. Creamed spinach was exceptionally great! The service was great as well. Decor was amazing and seating was comfortable. Definitely a great restaurant that we will visit again!!

   The food was good. I just feel the Service needs to be more aware or  alert. Never got a refill of my water.

   We dinned here yesterday (Thursday 22May25) around 5pm.Our server was magnificent!He made the experience worth it.My friend was visiting from San Fransisco and he offered to give her a full tour of the restaurant.He was thoughtful.He recommended their Sea food Sampler but I don’t eat sea food so we could not order sampler, however he recommended other options such as the T-bone and their starter bread.Both were delish.The whole restaurant is so beautiful.The drinks were served with extra flare!They are very detail oriented which my friend loved. I am so sad that I forgot the server’s name.The whole experience was amazing but our server topped it off!I will ask my friend if she remembers his name so I can add it later :-)

   Our Server , Eric was terrific. We enjoyed several items from the happy hour menu everything was delish and cocktails were terrific as well. We tried the Wagyu sliders, lobster, mac & cheese, and the wedge salad.

   Brand new restaurant at the edge of Core Columbia and at the cusp of Little Italy… the interior is beautiful. The food was excellent. Our server was attentive, but could have used a bit more personality. Superb place! Highly recommend! Will be back.

   Knowing it was second week of operation but this what we observed: 1) servers / workers keep dropping altos of dishes/ glasses, breaking , making loud noise , several time. Restaurant 101😂 2) our server was not very attentive at all. 3)Main course: shared dishes was too pricey for quality and this level of resturant.

   From the moment we walked into Piedra Santa, we were struck by its stunning interior. The ambiance is truly something special—leather strap ceilings add a warm, rustic elegance, while glass chandeliers cast a soft glow that elevates the entire dining experience. We were a party of four and found the service to be prompt and professional throughout the evening. For starters, we ordered the beef carpaccio and the charred beets. The carpaccio was prepared tableside, which added a wonderful touch of theater to the meal, and more importantly, it was absolutely delicious. The charred beets were also very good—flavorful and beautifully presented. For our mains, we sampled a range of dishes: lobster ravioli, scallops with caviar, pappardelle with wagyu ragu, and the salmon. Every plate was met with praise from our group, with rich, balanced flavors and artful presentation. The only slight misstep was the salmon, which came out a bit overcooked despite being ordered medium. Not a dealbreaker, but worth noting. The Lucas Argentinian Malbec we enjoyed with the meal was excellent—smooth, bold, and a perfect complement to the rich dishes. One of our guests also tried the espresso martini, which unfortunately didn’t quite live up to the rest of the experience—it lacked the robust flavor and texture we were hoping for. Despite the small hiccups, Piedra Santa delivered a memorable evening. We’re already looking forward to returning.
