Fresh game. Wild vegetables. Botanical cocktails.
The Hollow is a forest-to-table restaurant planted in the Vista District of Columbia, South Carolina. Our restaurant specializes in the traditions of rustic American cooking, highlighting proteins and vegetables harvested from the great American landscape. Our rotating seasonal menu is adorned with bison, duck, boar, and rabbit, as well as a selection of fish including, northern pike, rainbow trout and walleye salmon. Each dish is accompanied by a variety of seasonal vegetables, wild mushrooms, fresh fruit, and rich grains.
Nestled in the heart of the capital city, guests can experience all that Columbia has to offer through exciting flavors. The South Carolina State House, Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center, Colonial Life Arena, The University of South Carolina, and the Congaree River are only steps away from our front doors. Duck in before your downtown events and immerse yourself in a forest wonderland, in the center of the concrete jungle.
A sprawling 30 foot canopy of a mighty tree embraces guests as they cozy up to the bar. Follow the epoxy river as it runs through the center of the bar top, featuring artificial fish throughout. Spanish moss and vines of ivy dance through the dining room and lead to our private dining room. Continuing through the event space, our immerse environment provides an unforgettable experience for up to 40 comfortably seated guests. Our guests have access to an 80" television and dedicated music to create tailored moments and presentations. Coupled with secluded intimacy, our venue is the perfect space for your next birthday party, wedding rehearsal dinner, graduation party, company meeting, or presentation dinner.
Experience all that The Hollow has to offer, while also peering behind the curtain of the kitchen. The main dining room showcases our incredibly talented kitchen staff, as guests are able to see through enormous glass windows into the magic happening over the stove. Bison Tomahawk Steaks sizzle on the grill, Bourbon Glazed Duck Wings kick up fire in the sauté pan, and ovens erupt with the seductive smells of Braised Boar Shanks.
As you explore downtown Columbia, SC be sure to duck into The Hollow and see what the town is buzzing about!
