Columbia, SC Restaurants
Columbia’s New Culinary Landmark
Helmed by Executive Chef Joseph Wolfson, Ladder 13 reimagines Mediterranean cuisine with bold Lowcountry spirit. Located in the historic fire station’s original engine bay, it’s more than a Columbia, SC restaurant; it’s the convergence of the energy of Columbia and the flavor expressions of the South.
Savor thoughtfully composed small plates, seasonal ingredients, and bold interpretations of Mediterranean classics. Whether you’re sipping a cocktail beneath the glow of Ladder 13’s original fire doors or settling in for a weekend dinner, every dish invites you to linger a little longer.
Sip to the
Soundtrack
From mezcal and limoncello to cherry balsamic bubbles, Ladder 13’s drinks hit every note. Named after classic rock songs, each cocktail or spritz is bold, inventive, and part of your new favorite playlist.
