201 Meeting St
West Columbia, SC 29169
Black Rooster is a French-American bistro from one of Columbia's top chef/restaurateurs, Kristian Niemi. With a bright, mid-century modern dining room and expansive rooftop bar overlooking the rivers and Columbia cityscape, its a casual restaurant with French-inspired dishes ranging from Mussels in a Garlicky Broth to Steak Frites. The bar program features the same level of cocktails you'd expect from the owners of Bourbon, as well as an all-French wine list and eight local beers on tap. Reservations are recommended, but not required.

Black rooster is always insanely delicious. This is one of the best restaurants in Columbia 100%. I was worried when they switched from French to Italian that escargot would be off the menu......
