Reifschneiders Encourage Locals to 'Embrace the Grape'

Here is a photo (courtesy The Republic-Times) from yesterday evening's ribbon-cutting at Reifschneider's Grill & Grape on Columbia's Main Street.  The restaurant has been open now for several weeks and has been a welcome addition to Columbia's older business district--at least judging by the crowds gathered there each evening.

The ceremony, sponsored by the Columbia Chamber of Commerce, kicked off an evening of fun that included Twi-Night Out in C-Town and the debut of live music outside on the patio.  Owners Danny & Heather Reifschneider invite the community to visit them at 608 N. Main to enjoy good food and "embrace the grape"--as their theme states it.

Reifschneider's is just one in a series of new eating places opening along Main Street, a small boom that includes Who Dat's Southern Food and a regional restaurant (name to be released) opening a branch here next month.  These dining spots join long-term vendors like The Lantern, Joe Boccardi's Ristorante, Thai House and Gruchala's to make Main St. a place to consider whenever lunch or dinner rolls around.
