To Dine or Not to Dine

This weeks restaurant... El Jardin in Old Town Columbia

Excited about an evening of SRT - Cash  'Ring of Fire' - my husband and I found ourselves in Columbia extremely early. Much to my dismay we were too late to shop as most of the shops were closed, but luckily my second favorite thing to do was readily available...eat!

El Jardin seemed to be in close proximity of the Fallon so we decided to give it a shot. We had not heard anything about this restaurant before so this was a 'going in blind' experience.

As first we thought how brilliant we were to dine before a play, however we quickly discovered the foothills are full of brilliant people. Once we entered the garden like setting of El Jardin we realized we may have a bit of a wait. Surprisingly there was available seating outside. Though the tables are close the outside patio setting with plenty of foliage and forest-like ambiance allowed us to feel as if we were in a more intimate setting. Dress code was from pearls to Birkenstocks and everything in between.
