The Scene
Situated amid the strip joints and antique shops of funky Cheshire Bridge Road, this sprawling restaurant doesn't have a colonnade in sight, but it's an immensely popular Midtown destination. Inside are several large, sparsely decorated dining rooms and a smoky bar. Service, provided by a veteran staff, is efficient and friendly.
The Food
Halfway between a meat-and-three and a tea room, this throwback restaurant specializes in old-fashioned Southern food. A bread basket full of hot yeast rolls and corn muffins is a highlight, as are fresh vegetables and homey desserts. Fried chicken is especially good, as is the roasted pork loin with celery dressing and the chicken pot-pie. Shrimp cocktail (served with tear-inducing horseradish-laced cocktail sauce) and a retro iceberg wedge salad are worth ordering as well. Peppermint ice cream, a signature item, makes an excellent finish.

I have to give this three stars. Why? The food really isn?t that great but then it isn't always about the food. This place is a real melting pot(t) with diversity being the word of the day. First, the wait staff. Pretty much all of them are real characters with Eric being a real stand out. What a nice man. One practically expects to see a hankie corsage on the gals but I digress. Second the eclectic customers. Expect to be comfortable with a well behaved and diverse (there, I said it again) crowd. Third, the food. Ok, so I said it wasn't that great. But, I've heard that there's a new chef and the specials sounded pretty tasty last time I was there. Naturally there are regulars that swear by this place. I'm not one of them. But, with the exception of the crab cakes which were notably really awful, I've never had a meal I didn't finish. So, if you want decent food at a decent price make sure you check this place out.

I love Colonnade, I was sad when they stopped serving lunches. There is usually a line with short wait but well worth it. Prices are good and food is GREAT.
