"There is no more highly contested table in Columbia than the Spotted Salamander porch in the spring. Jasmine climbs the porch columns and brings the most delicious scent throughout the meal. The deviled egg starter is a must, no matter how chef Jessica Shillato has decided to prepare them that day. Specials are served on a weekly schedule, with fried chicken sandwiches on Tuesday and burgers on Fridays. No matter the day of the week, the meal must be finished with a mile-high slice of cake." - Helen Harrison
