Cured 18th & 21st

I had the most beautiful experience here celebrating my 5 year anniversary with my boyfriend. Our waitress Amanda, was extraordinary! She was extremely sweet and accommodating. My boyfriend has severe nut and shellfish allergies and she was able to make us feel at ease and knew the menu well. The food was delicious! The burger was juicy and flavorful, and my boyfriend loved the chicken sandwich. We will be back!

This place is a 10 across the board. Food, amazing. Vibes, amazing. Live music? Stunning all around. Second time coming here and Sophia was our waitress and she is so pleasant and knowledgeable. Don’t know what to get? You can’t go wrong with her recs.

My boyfriend and I went here for the first time last night for our anniversary and we had a great time. The food and drinks were AMAZING! From the ambiance to the jazz band to the service - everything was just incredible. Our server, Angel, was awesome and knowledgeable. The vegetarian “steak” was phenomenal too! PLEASE don’t ever get rid of that menu item! It’s so hard as a vegetarian to try new restaurants and not have to end up just getting a salad. We will definitely be back!

It was a bad choice to have dinner whenever a concert is in Merriweather. Parking was limited. We parked in the Columbia Mall and walked several blocks to locate the restaurant. We were greeted by the hostess and she took us back to bar area for seating. Live jazz duo was in action as well as a dozen customers in a nearby table. Not my choice. Our son had made the reservations. The dining area is nicely decorated with a painting depicting several well known skyscrapers from Chicago on the ceiling. I saw fried oysters on the menu and haddock too. Only 2 oysters per plate or $10 a piece. My bad. I do not recommend them. They were all over fried and hard as a rock. My Caesar salad was a kit, that is, assembly is required. A very messy thing to do when served on a small flat plate. The haddock was ok but covered in a tasteless sauce with waffled potato chip which weren't crispy since the sauce had been soaked up by them. Our waitress was attentive but mia a few times. Based on the parking, cost, and food, I won't be back.

The fish was outstanding, and the jazz room had the perfect ambiance, ideal for a first date or a cozy cocktail night with your best friend. Absolutely loved the experience! 🎶✨

Employees were very helpful and friendly.I went on a Friday and the 18&21 area had live jazz music. The drinks were very good. The vibe was smooth. The presentation of the plates were very fancy. The taste of the food was not in accordance with the price. A New York steak was $58 and the flavor was like an Outback steak. For that price I was expecting more like a Ruth’s Chris flavor. For the price we pay I prefer a more quality flavor place. I would not repeat the spot.

We arrived at this popular destination on an early Friday evening for dinner. I hadn’t checked earlier but having a concert at near by Merriweather Post Pavilion also added to their crowd. We also found ourselves within the Happy Hour time frame. Service- was good and attentive. Food- I would think twice before ordering the Fried Oyster appetizer. The pickled cucumber slaw was a nice touch, the flavors complementing each other but left me wishing there were more oysters to enjoy. The brussel sprouts were tasty but overwhelmed with sauce. I did like the flavor, and they were tender to bite into but I would have enjoyed the crispy bits that wasn’t as charred. I ordered the Fish and Chips which was a large portion. The fish was tender but a bit heavy due to the batter it was dipped in but the French fries were thin and crispy. The coleslaw was tasty and constructed differently than your typical type of coleslaw. I did enjoy that. My daughter seemed happy with her grilled salmon dinner. I would say my favorite choice of our meal was their classic Creme brûlée dessert. That was creamy, smooth and delicious. We are not drinkers but they have a huge bar that was very busy and appeared to have a wide selection of Whiskeys, wines, beer flights, specialty drinks and other beverages. I would like to return on a less busy day to try other selections of their seasonal menu.

I recently dined at Cured and had an absolutely delightful experience! The ambiance was warm and inviting, perfect for a cozy evening out. To start, I ordered the mushroom soup, which was rich and creamy with a depth of flavor that had me savoring every spoonful. It was the perfect appetizer to set the tone for the meal. For my main course, I couldn't resist trying the shrimp and grits. It was simply divine! The shrimp were perfectly cooked, and the grits were incredibly creamy and seasoned just right. Every bite was a harmonious blend of flavors that left me wanting more. To top it all off, I paired my meal with a lovely glass of red wine. The selection was impressive, and the wine complemented the dishes beautifully, enhancing the entire dining experience. Overall, Cured exceeded my expectations with its delicious food, excellent service, and wonderful atmosphere. I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu! As a side note, I am peshatarian and the mushroom soup is vegetarian and was absolutely out of this world.

Love this restaurant, delicious food and an amazing ambiance. It's on the pricier side but worth every penny! My friends and I received excellent service as well, loved our waiter!

I came here to celebrate an anniversary dinner, and I have to say, it really feels like the place to be on the weekend. It's tucked away between buildings. You'd never know it was there, which seems to be a Columbia thing, honestly. We checked in and waited about 10 minutes before being called back, then another 10 minutes at our table before a waitress came by. A slow start for sure, but once she arrived, everything picked up. The drinks were AMAZING. Strong but you couldn't even taste the liquor, which made them dangerously good. As for the food, my lamb chops were delicious, and the salad came with whole sardines, which was a nice surprise. My partner wanted the crab cakes but they had already run out, so she went with the pasta instead, which was decent but nothing too special. What really brought the whole evening together was the live music. They had a great mix of songs and even though we were probably younger than most of the crowd, we still had a timeeee. We also got complimentary champagne and cake to celebrate, which was a really nice touch. It looks like their menu changes from time to time, so I'd definitely come back to see what else they have.

Visiting here for our anniversary dinner. Very nice ambiance. Pretty intimate setting. I didn't care for the pork chop due to lack of seasoning but my wife loved her dish. Our waiter was pretty good. Would return and try another entree.

I enjoyed my visit. The atmosphere was sexy and gave speakeasy vibes. I enjoy live music so that's why I wanted to visit. The bartender was great in his recommendations and really friendly. My meal was good. The vegetable that came with the short rib was amazing. I'm not sure what It was(looked like a broc/cauliflower hybrid) lol. I've never had an old fashion on tap and was skeptical at first to try but I'm glad I did. It was really good. I never get dessert but I felt like being greedy and ordered this apple pastry which was delectable. I'll definitely return when the full band is there to perform.

Good drinks and ambiance but disappointing food. We visited 18th & 21st on a Wednesday night. We visited 18th & 21st on a Wednesday night, and it was under half full. The dining area is cute with a ceiling mimicking a city skyline, nice furniture, blue lights, and a piano player playing live. I tried the until next time to drink, we split the lobster and vegetable tempura as a starter, and I tried the mushroom pasta as a main. My drink was excellent with a great combination of flavors. The dish was served as a chunk of lobster in the middle of the plate, vegetables surrounding the lobster, and a thin, sweet sauce on the bottom. The vegetables in the tempura were tasty with the sauce. The lobster was chewy, and it was difficult to get any sauce on the lobster. The mushroom pasta was bland with a thin watery sauce. Overall, I would recommend 18th & 21st for the drinks but not for the food.

Ambiance, service and live music are very good. The servers are very pleasant, patient and helpful. The food items selected this time weren't as good as my previous experience but fair. We had the braised short rib, which wasn't as tender as most places and the sauce was missing a richness in flavor. The pork chop was tender but would be enhanced with a richer sauce. The Brussels were good. Dessert we tried the bread pudding which could use a bit more moisture and/or a sweet sauce. The brownie is warm, more fudge based and was very tasty paired well with some berries. If you add some actual pecans/nuts (per request) aside from the bacon crisps it would be dynamite!

This is my first visit to 18th and 21st and it's always solid! If you're looking for a dining experience that combines a speakeasy vibe, live music, and elevated cuisine, look no further than 18th and 21st! It's hands down one of our favorite spots in Maryland. The Vibe: Always classy, always a vibe. Perfect for a night out or a special occasion. Don't miss the live music--it sets the tone for an unforgettable evening. Pro tip: Ask for Adam at the bar for a stellar cocktail experience! Drink: * Smoked Old Fashioned (a smoky, bold masterpiece) Appetizers: * Coconut Shrimp * Tuna Tartare Entrees: * Braised Beef Short Rib (melt-in-your-mouth perfection) * Salmon (cooked to perfection) This is perfect for date night or catching up with friends.

TLDR: Go for live music, drinks, and green curry mussels. Skip the Branzino and croquettes. I was so excited to visit this speakeasy with my friend. The speakeasy itself is really cool and has a fun moody vibe. The music and drinks were also really great. What was not great was the service and some of the food. When we tried to order appetizers our server said that the table was smaller so she recommends ordering all the food at once ( which doesn't make sense). When my friend said we would still like to order, she just repeated that the table was really small. The order wasn't put in until the rest of our order was placed. What to skip: Branzino ( it hurts my heart to say this because I love Branzino). The Branzino was only ok and the rice wasn't cooked at all. It wasn't al dente- it was severely undercooked. When I told the waitress she told me jasmine rice is harder than other rice ( ). I explained that I've had jasmine rice before and that this was not cooked. Instead of taking the plate she made me scrape off the rice on to an appetizer plate. I never send this back unless something is very wrong and at almost $50 for this entree, severely undercooked rice shouldn't be on the plate. What to get: -Green curry mussels - this was phenomenal. - pork chop -Brussels sprouts I'd definitely come back for the drinks and mussels.

This is not a paid review. I love this place! The ambiance, the food selection were all on point. They have something for everyone even the picky eaters. They have jazz in the speakeasy that was nice. Definitely is a grown up vibe!

It was so nice to get fancy from time to time and the ambiance was perfect. While waiting for our meal, live jazz filled the room. Although we were in the back tables with soft sofa booths, the staff was very attentive. We felt special and taken care of.

After realizing both Cured and 18th & 21st was in the same building. I needed to give this establishment another try! This time it was to 18th & 21st for dinner. I was a little skeptical about the whole "Speakeasy" vibe but after being escorted to a location, you would never actually find walking around on your own, it definitely fits the description. I love the 60s Supper Club feel, it's like the moment you walk through the door, you are thrown into a time of sky views , Jazz and fine dining. The waiter was very attentive and knowledgable about our options on the menu, there was a lot to choose from. This is definitely a grown and sext date night event and not cheap, although every thing we ordered was great, I am not sure if our food was worth the price. If you ever just want to sit in someplace nice, with live jazz and a great atmosphere, this would be the place to check out!

Excellent service, great drinks & food. BBBBLT sliders: sooooo good! The bacon is thick, juicy & salty. The bacon reminded me of a thick piece of pork belly. If they had this as an entree, I'd order this every time Crab appetizer: a bit too floral for me but overall was okay. On the other hand, the crabmeat was juicy and quite sizable. Ribeye: I ordered this medium rare but came out more medium well. It was a little expensive but most steaks are nowadays. I ordered it with the truffle butter which was the perfect option. Mac & cheese: wow, this was really cheesy! It has a huge cheese pull effect Mushroom pasta: this was good but not as creamy as I thought it would be. Corn chowder: I loved this desert! It wasn't overly sweet and had a bunch of delightful surprises hidden inside. I'd def order again!!

Absolutely loved that speakeasy vibes. The cocktails were delicious and the apps we got were delicious. The live jazz music really made this an evening worth remembering. Looking forward to going back to have a full dinner. Not pictured: the most delicious sweet heat Brussels I've ever had. We inhaled them. Excellent service.

Our first visit to this restaurant. It was definitely worth the trip from Columbia to here. It was on a Saturday noon and not very busy. There were five adults for brunch. We were seated immediately in nice seats. We each ordered our drinks and chosen foods which all came out in a timely manner. For dessert I ordered my favorite key lime pie and was not disappointed. All the desserts were excellent. Now for my one complaint. I used a restroom at the end of my meal. I am physically somewhat handicapped. The door to the restroom was extremely heavy and almost impossible to open. I did manage to open it. Then I was faced with a toilet that was very low--more so than normal. I finally managed it, as well as reopening the door. I felt like I was battling an unmanageable situation. I finally was able to gather my wits and go to the car. My two suggestions are to change out the bathroom doors for more manageable ones, and more accessible toilets. Yes I am physically unable to manage some things but not bathroom doors and/or toilet seats. I encountered other individuals who were having the same issues as I was experiencing. Please look into changing these to make them more user friendly. I would like to return but these issues give me pause!!

So you ever visit a place and wonder why it took you so long because the experience was so good? That was my experience at 18th & 21st. I went with a couple of my friends for our last book club session of the year and it was a pleasant surprise. We ordered the wings, brussel sprouts, crab pizza, mussels & egg rolls appetizers. Everything was so good (minus the pizza: we found the bread to be too thick) that we decided to order another round and ditch the main course. Our server was kind and attentive, checking on us every couple of minutes. We wanted to be able to chat about the book, so the ambiance was appropriate despite the music playing in the background. It wasn't too loud. It was a bit difficult to get reservations; we had to sit at the high tops cause that's all they had left, so book early!

Fabulous spot. I've driven past this restaurant several times but finally ventured in. Not disappointed at all. We sat outside and enjoyed the music and wonderful weather. Maurice was awesome and made great recommendations. We will be back for sure especially to enjoy the green curry mussels!!!!

Yummy!! The layout is cool. There are several rooms so that all parties aren't in one place. The lighting is different in each and so is the seating. Parking is easy and close by. The food and drinks were very good. Our waiter made recommendations and we were not disappointed! I'd go back again and again.

This place is a whole vibe! Perfect for a date night! The live jazz music was everything! Although they're no longer a "speakeasy," it gives those feels, and I love it! They're located inside Cured, and although it's considered a separate restaurant, you still have to check in at the Cured hostess desk! Convenient, free parking garage next door! Was here last night to celebrate a friend's birthday. We had 10 in our party and they were able to accommodate us! Our server, Shelly, was great. Thank you for making my friend's night so special. The drinks were great. My fave was the "do you see," and I recommend it! Restaurant Week was going on, but I couldn't eat most of the menu offerings, so I stuck to the main menu. At least they didn't require that the entire party participate in Restaurant Week as some places do. I got the braised short rib, and it was quite flavorful and filling. Everyone enjoyed their food! Overall a great evening, and I'd recommend this place for a special night out.

The food was good. I wouldn't say it was anything to brag about. But it had a good taste. For a starter I ordered the Brussels sprouts in a peanut sauce. The Brussels sprouts were delicious. They were very tender and flavorful. For an entree I ordered the ribeye with truffle Mac n cheese. The ribeye was cooked to perfection however it needed more seasoning. I was very dissatisfied with the Mac n cheese. It was not flavorful at all and it didn't seem as thought it was a truffle Mac n cheese. For dessert I ordered the crème brûlée which was good but how can you really mess that up honestly. For a beverage I ordered the smoke old fashioned which was good...just wish it had more of a Smokey flavor. The service was impeccable. The waiter was very friendly and attentive. He gave great suggestions and seemed very knowledgeable about the menu. The ambiance was superb. The aesthetic gave a fancy, class 1950's bar setting. They also had a live band which I throughly enjoyed. I would recommend trying this establishment especially if you are looking for a close local fancy bar in the area.

Babbbbyyyyyy those Shrimp and Grits were amazing. I was here for a private event that was buffet style. We had shrimp and grits, buffalo chicken sliders, bacon, asparagus quiche, French toast and fruit .... Our private bartender she was great very friendly. The room we were in was very cozy. Parking is garage parking . I can't wait to actually come back and order off the menu.

First time at this restaurant. It was great Ambiance is that of speakeasy Quiet. Romantic atmosphere. Big long bar Up front is just a regular restaurant. You walk through to another entrance. Very intriguing Service was amazing. Food served. Ontime. No long wait. Presented beautifully. And servers are super nice and efficient Food was amazing. I got mushrooms and squid and salad. All perfect My friend got steak and said it was cooked just as he desired I would recommend for sure Easy parking. It's a garage. Right across

Dinner for 2. Visited on a Saturday night in early March, had an 8 pm reservation. 18th and 21st is lovely and I would definitely come again for the drinks, jazz music, and ambiance. Had the scallops, red snapper, caesar salad, and mushroom soup. The food is ok, I'd rate it a 6 out of 10, although I had soft crab sliders which were so wonderful that I would rate 8 out of 10. I also had two delicious pear mojitos. Our server Abel was absolutely awesome. The band and music were perfect, and despite it being a place that offers live music, it never gets so loud that you can't hold a conversation. I would definitely go again.

Wow this is a very interesting place here. So there is a restaurant on the outside called cured. This part of the restaurant is hidden in the back and can only be reserved... no walk ins. The decor is vibrant it has a vintage allure. Food: omg!! The food was sooo goood! I had the beef rib with fingerling potatoes. It was perfect. I have to come back for it again. The icing on the cake was the band of live music! It was sooo good! I was delighted to discover this place and I'm looking forward to come again.

A cute, classy, vibey jazz spot with delicious food and drinks. Went on a Friday night and was able to get seated quickly. I was pleasantly surprised since my previous attempts weren't successful without reservations. I highly recommend marking reservations. If you don't get seating at 18th & 21st you can still enjoy the restaurant portion at Cured. IF you enjoy truffles and scallops I definitely recommend their Truffle Croquette and Seared Scallops. And for dessert, try their Classic Creme Brûlée as it will not disappoint. The drinks were also good. They had some interesting concoctions and some twists on classic cocktails. The jazz show was really nice and captivating. I love jazz and speakeasy's so this is the perfect spot for date night, a celebration, or an outing with friends, or alone!

I didn't get to stay for long but I had such a great time ! We were in a beautiful room with live jazz and a bartender they were very accommodating to our large party. There was not one thing that wasn't superb on this menu ! The Brussels the scallops all of it was so delicious I give this resturant a 12/10

I went here to celebrate a friend's birthday. It was a rather snazzy joint -- subdued lighting, intimate space, lovely decor. We went on a Friday evening and a small jazz band began playing around 6pm. They were great. They even took a small break at one point to play a happy birthday ditty for us. That was a nice touch. We also got a complimentary birthday dessert. Our waitress was attentive, kind, and not snooty at all. Overall, we had a great time. If you want to go, make a reservation well in advance. There are a rather limited number of tables. When I called 4 days ahead of time there were no Friday slots left from 5:30 - 8:00. Also, be prepared to spend a good chunk of change. None of the entrees are less than $30 and some of them are above $60, and the portions are "fancy". Meaning small. Everything was delicious, though. Would go again for a special occasion.

Love the name and vibe of this place. Who wouldn't love a speakeasy style restaurant (though we opted for an early dinner on the Cured side of the restaurant)?!?!? We also opted for a tapas style dinner of appetizers: bean and ham soup, duck fat fries, herbed falafel, and grilled chicken skewers with peach BBQ sauce and cucumber/radish salad. The bean and ham soup surprised us with a red base but was excellent. The duck fat fries were perfectly crisp on the outside and soft inside. Incidentally they were tasty with the Peach BBQ sauce. The chicken skewers were perfectly done. I was disappointed by the falafel. It came sandwich style in a pita pocket with 2 falafel balls in each half. The tzatziki was very unusual- finely shredded, long strips of cucumber mixed with what I assume was yogurt. It was very thick but also the yogurt had been watery and left small puddles on my plate. By the time it was delivered both the bottom sides of pita and falafel were soggy. I ended up pulling the falafel out to just eat them. They were soft and smoothly blended which is not my preferred consistency for falafel. They were also somewhat bland. For drinks I had the Cardi Peach which was very good! My husband, a whiskey guy, had a sampling of whiskeys. If you like whiskey they have a HUGE menu- almost 500 between the two sides. From all over the world. For dessert we had warm stone fruit clafouti and donut bread pudding. I would have preferred the clafouti with more fruit. The donut bread pudding was very good! It tasted just like a warm Krispy Kreme donut. Service was phenomenal. The bartenders were friendly and knowledgeable. I prefer to chat with bartenders about the alcohols and food I am tasting, history of the establishment, etc and they were very accommodating We will be coming back soon to try the 18th and 21st side of the restaurant. This was a great find and if you are a whiskey person, they have whiskey club that sounds like a ton of fun.

A fine dining restaurant that no longer calls itself a speakeasy but still has all the vibes. Actually, a really high class speakeasy because it's bigger than your typical, has an elegant setting, and live piano music. You'd expect the cocktails to be great and they don't disappoint. But if you're a scotch or whiskey drinker, you are in for a treat. 600 bottles in stock. The food is really good; and exceptional by speakeasy standards (because many speakeasies only have light fare). Our waitress was really helpful at giving us suggestions and course correcting us if there was something better to try.

We dined here during the holidays and it was cool to try for a date night. It was a little awkward trying to find the entrance. The live music was good, but made it really hard to carry on conversation, so not ideal if that is the purpose of your outing. The food was okay. They were out of one of the apps we wanted to try. The short rib was also just okay. The star of the evening was the crème brûlée. Our server was very nice and professional.

Hello. Beautiful date night experience, although it's great for any party. The venue is gorgeous. Many ppl were celebrating their bday. The food was good, although I would have liked more of a variety. Our host was good and attentive. The venue is a speakeasy located inside The Cured. You enter through an unmarked door. It gives 20's vibes. There is live music beginning at 6pm, the speakeasy opens at 5pm. It was a full house, reservations are suggested. There is street parking across the way and a parking garage. The venue is located inside of a business park. This was a really lovely experience.

I enjoyed myself and the food. The restaurant was a vibe and I would definitely recommend

The food was absolutely delicious. The service was top-notch. The ambience was mellow relaxed. We had a wonderful time.

This establishment is only for the grown and sexy, okay?! We had dinner reservations here for a friend's birthday party. Upon entering and providing our party's name, we were taken to a back room where a live band and singer were performing. The space was dark, mysterious, but also very romantic. I loved the atmosphere here. I definitely recommend checking this place out if you're looking for a nice date night with live music. The singer also took requests, but of course she didn't know every song under the sun. Her voice was beautiful and having the live band really made it a night to remember. I am not an adventurous eater, so I kept it simple and ordered the burger and fries. It was cooked to perfection and was a great burger. If you're a fry conossieur like me, then you know all fries are not created equal. These fries were yummy! 5/5 I highly recommend this establish and would love to return soon.

Food was well priced and delicious Had nice wine pairing and best sweet potato fries Will be back super cute ambiance

We ate at cured and was intrigued with the "room in the back" which we quickly found out it was a speakeasy. Very cute atmosphere with jazz vibes and all the employees were so friendly and welcoming. We sat at the bar and all the drinks we had were phenomenal. Not a coffee fan at all but their espresso martini was my favorite! I'll definitely have to make reservations next time and come back to try their food over here.

If I lived near 18th and 21st, the staff here would know me by name. I was totally hooked the first time we decided to try this place out and although I live far away, I've been able to come back a couple more times since. Per usual, I was early, so I posted up at CURED, which actually shares the same space as 18th and 21st..sounds peculiar but trust me, it works. I was able to take advantage of the very nice HH specials that are worth the trip all by itself! Now it was time for the main event. We were led to the rear of the structure by a lady dressed in 1920's garb. While in tow, she was giving us a quick history lesson about 18th and 21st and how this concept came to fruition honoring the rise and fall of prohibition.. Paying homage to the 18th and 21st amendments respectively :) The formal dining area was actually shocking behind the velvet curtains. We couldn't belive we were in Columbia. Md. It literally was a throwback in time. The food, service and drinks are top notch. During my visits, I've had the NY Strip, Chilean sea bass, lamb chops, scallops and crab cakes and I left full and happy each time. There's live music in the background playing tunes from yesteryear. Although the band members aren't dressed to fit the occasion, they absolutely know what they are doing!! I wish the owners would open up a second location in Washington, DC, because I still don't know what Columbia did to deserve such a cool venue.. Lol!

My husband is all about going to speakeasy type restaurants/bars. So we were excited to try 18th. It was just okay. Won't deny the nice ambiance but it was more supper club than speakeasy. It has really tiny bar and big open table seating area that was reminiscent of a supper club. I had the pan seared shrimp, delicious. Hubby's Mac & cheese was more runny than cheesy. Our family members had a lobster bisque that was terrible and they didn't finish.

I guess by now you've figured it out; this is one of my favs. And once again, they did not disappoint. I keep saying I'm going to try Cured (the other restaurant), but haven't yet. This time I had the squid ink scallops. Hey, you can't go wrong with scallops. My girlfriend had the rockfish and I was jealous! It was so good I wished I had ordered that instead. Either way, it's all good. And the drinks.... OMG! I have a penchant for craft cocktails and they have got theee best! I generally go with the Lavender Honey and Lions Mane cocktails. They are delicious! If you haven't been yet, what are you waiting for?

The ambiance at this place is everything grown and sexy dreams are made of. I came here with my husband one night to get a break from the usual day to day routine and the visit was so worth it. We ordered the appetizer sliders and - wow - the moist burger melted in my mouth. The wine was delicious and my husband enjoyed his drinks. Most of all there was live jazz - and, come on, what more do you need? Highly recommend!

Awesome vibes! Jazz music was great on Friday night. Don't mistake the front restaurant for the speak easy/bar - the bar has much more of a vibe and not too brightly lit. We had the filet mignon sliders and a couple of mixed drinks, which were delicious! Thank you Angel for the great service!

18th & 21st was a vibe! It had a cute ambiance. The jazz band was a nice touch as well. We had outstanding service with your server. She was so pleasant, knew the menu very well and even made recommendations for each course. The food was also pretty delicious. The appetizers including the Brussels (not pictured) and the shrimp were very flavorful. The lamb shank was also flavorful and very tender. I had a great time and would recommend to anyone looking for a place to dine in Columbia!

Still a fan and now that I've found bottomless mimosas on Sunday brunch I will be a frequent flier. Pancakes and French toast still top choices but an omelette was the twist for today. Also was impressed that the servers kept the mimosas flowing. I didn't need to ask for the refill. Now that's customer service at it's best. Maybe next week I will sit at the bar and watch a football game or two to enjoy the mimosas.

This is my new favorite restaurant! The hosts are unbelievably professional as well as the serving staff.

I can surely pick a restaurant...if I do say so myself! 18th and 21st is a Harlem renaissance inspired restaurant offering live, jazz music and a fine dining experience. The decor is beautiful. Note that 18th & 21st shares the same space as Cured - it's tucked in the back with a separate entrance. On weekday evenings, you're in for a treat with live jazz bands serenading as you're indulging in delicious food. I've tried the lobster ravioli, brussel sprouts, charbroiled oysters and filet mignon. Every dish I've had was exceptional. Service is great, and the ambiance is surely a winner. If you're trying to impress -- especially to someone who enjoys jazz -- try 18th and 21st. This beautiful establishment will stay on my rotation.

You kinda know why you're here. You live in the boring suburbs and need a quick and nice date spot that isn't too far while the kids are taking a nap. You've come to the right place! With bustling live music on the weekends, this place lets you enjoy a night out in a spot that feels farther away from home than it actually is. The drinks are good and actually kinda fairly priced. Can't go wrong with the old fashioned and manhattan. The brussels sprouts were delicious. Perfectly cooked and the sweet chili sauce was a nice touch. The branzino was honestly mediocre, but you're always going to pay a lot for branzino when you eat out. The house made donut bread pudding for dessert was great! Love a nice hot/cold contrast to end the night. But...the star of the show was the dry aged burger. Luckily, my fiancé was craving a burger, otherwise, I would never pay that much for a burger. After getting this burger, I would order it 1000x over and pay 2x more every single time. I've never had a burger like this. So dense, soft, and juicy. Every bite melts in your mouth. It didn't even have my favorite topping (raw onions) and it was still easily the best burger I've ever had. The dry aged patty is no joke and worth the $$$!!

Food was ok but not for the price. It was a ok vibe but the band did not come out until we were about to leave

What's not to like? A slightly hidden restaurant, a very appealing, creative menu, the charcuterie board, the jazz trio, the decor, the creative ceiling, the great service.... The free garage parking, the EV Chargers... someone stop me! This place simply rocks!! Try to get the spunky server, Emily!!!

I have only been there once or twice, in light of the rather high price. I took a young lady there for her birthday, and the food was outstanding! It really was a good time for everyone. As long as my budget can afford it, I will definitely go back.

Who knew that Columbia had such a super cool and cute spot for drinks and yummy food? I now know lol So I met a friend here for dinner and was super impressed by the bar and dining area. It was very spacious, inviting and classy. We were seated in the main dining room and greeted by our awesome server, Zoe! Zoe was so very patient with us as we contemplated what to order for cocktails and dinner. We both opted for regular margaritas and water. For dinner we both ordered the avocado salads with protein. Mine with salmon and my friend ordered shrimp. The salads were delicious - and healthy! Zoe was very attentive to ensure that we had a wonderful dining experience. We did! Thanks Zoe!! I definitely have to come back to experience the live music! Great stuff, Columbia!
