Columbia SC restaurants

We are going for a girl's weekend the end of the month. I tried to book a reservation at The Blue Marlin and it was booked up! We are looking for a non-chain, special occasion restaurant. We don't mind to drive, we are staying on Lake Murray. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Are you going on a home game weekend? If so you might have trouble. Check the USC football schedule. My favorite Cola restaurant is Mr. Friendly's but you won't get near it if there's a game.

Unless you happen to see a better place for breakfast, there is an IHOP across the street from the Capitol building at the SW corner of Assembly and Senate.

Not sure which side of the lake you are staying on but Alodias between Ballentine and Irmo is a great upscale Italian restaurant....Lexington has some great restaurants too if you do not want to drive into Columbia.......
