  • Charming
  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Great for outdoor dining
Family-owned and operated for more than 116 years, Columbia has earned acclaim for its old-world charm and award-winning Spanish/Cuban cuisine.

Casual attire is fine, but we don’t allow sleeveless shirts on men in the dining room.

Join us for century-old family recipes like Paella a la Valenciana, Roast Pork a la Cubana and fresh seafood specialties.

Don't miss the Columbia’s Original “1905” Salad®, prepared with our delicious, freshly made dressing, a 100-year-old family recipe of fresh garlic, oregano, wine vinegar and Spanish extra virgin olive oil.

Be sure to sample a fine Spanish wine like Montecillo or Campillo.

Relax outdoors in our café or courtyard, or inside our Tapas Bar or Mediterranean-style dining rooms filled with hand-painted tiles and family heirlooms.

We are a sister to the Columbia in Tampa's Ybor City, founded in 1905. Children's menu available. Open 365 days a year, including all holidays.

    Made reservation at least 1 week in advance. When we arrived we were taken to a table in the bar area while people who didn't have a reservation were seated in the main dining room. The ambiance in the bar area is not great.

    Steve was excellent as our server, despite being real busy! The place was packed and we all agreed more so than ever before. Since COVID we inherited a mass migration of Northerners and they’re still coming. The food was delicious from the Mussels through the dessert. Dessert was a Coconut custard type and so smooth and creamy with perfect sweetness!

    Our whole party enjoyed the ambiance. So much history and cultural influence of this family. Our food was excellent and the menu included many authentic and delicious meals. Any need we had was instantly taken care of by our server and other staff. I enjoyed the meal came to our table in a hot dish then was finished and plated at our table! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

    Saw photos online and the little courtyard sold us on making a reservation. Unfortunately they had closed the courtyard and the only other outside seating was right next to the street. Decided to sit inside but place was half empty so had no vibe, and staff were in need of a bit more attention (3 staff scrolling through their phones at the welcome desk when I went to ask where our server had gone after waiting 20mins for our drinks and having not ordered yet). The food & drink was great (check out the Mojitos, Sangria and pretty much all of the tapas selection). I’m sure this place must go up a level in service and ambience in peak season, but was all a bit ‘meh’ on a Monday night in mid-November.

    We had a nice small meal at Columbia. It began with our waitress mixing our Sangria at our table. Following our bean soup, we each had a tapas, a small plate, I the shrimp and crab and my wife the scallops, which was just enough. Great place in a picturesque village.
