Spotted Salamander Cafe And Catering

Locally owned restaurant by Chef Jessica Shillato. Farm to table restaurant. They use local produce. The food is always fresh. We have been customers since 2015. I love attending the wine pairing and beer pairing meals in the evenings. They book up fast and are limited. Those evenings have always been a lot of fun and delicious. We have also attended FreeTimes events where they catered for Halloween. Also a lot of fun! Cool to see how creative they were with the food. I work one mile away and drop in for lunch from time to time. Never disappointed! Every cake is delicious, but crack cake is the best! Oh and the deviled eggs. Highly recommend!

The Spotted Salamander has a delicious and creative menu, although actual salamander is missing. The pecan chicken salad sandwich is a winner, and we loved the deviled eggs. The dining room is pleasant and inviting, the staff are friendly and efficient. The only flaw here is with the coffee. The first cup the waiter brought me looked and tasted weaker than my late grandmother's tea. (She never allowed a tea bag to steep longer than 60 seconds. The second cup was dark enough to look good, and it was fresh, but it was thin and would never pass muster at a McDonald's or Sheetz.

Everything that we have tried is greatness. The different flavors and textures are like invitations to try something new each time which is good since their menu changes daily! Open for work week lunch, Tues is fried chicken sandwich day, while Fri is burger day. Their BLT pasta is yummy and the deviled eggs are ?the best I?ve ever had?. Cute decor, free street parking, and don?t forget about dessert.

Upon entering this cute cafe, I new it was a winner! Immediately greeted with smiles and warm feels. The quaint small dining area was filled with small details that should not be overlooked, and gives the Spotted Salamander uniqueness. Note the different salt shakers, the way your check is delivered, etc? The staff is extremely friendly and inviting. Our waitress was patient when we took our time ordering. She never let our glasses of water and tea get half empty. I was so impressed by this! Ok, now the food was absolutely delicious. I got their chicken salad with a side of broccoli salad. The flavors in both were perfect. I want to know what spices they put in their chicken salad, so delicious. I liked that it was chucks of chicken and not shredded. Highly recommend this eclectic cafe, you won?t be disappointed! My new favorite lunch spot! Thank you for making my lunch meeting so enjoyable.

If you are in Columbia you HAVE to eat here!!! The food is incredible, the quality is consistent, and the variety makes it that much better. I think the truest testament to the food is how incredible the tomato sandwiches in the summer are. It is a true challenge to make the simple extraordinary and memorable but they do it everytime! I cannot replicate it no matter how hard I try. Their menu rotates with specials and they are always delicious. Highly recommend the deviled eggs and pimento cheese as well. Cannot rave about this place enough!!
