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.

    Great restaurant (food, service, beverages) and we go there whenever possible. Unfortunately, last night we were bothered by a large raucous table, especially one man, who annoyed the entire restaurant. That patron should be barred from this restaurant!!

    Pollo Manchego Boneless chicken breast breaded with Cuban breadcrumbs and grated manchego cheese, topped with citrus sauce, sun-dried tomatoes and fresh basil. Served with yellow rice. Outstanding and our service impeccable. The topper is the bread pudding with white chocolate sauce and Café con leche nothing better in the food world for me!

    Everything was great with one exception. The booth we were in was obviously for taller people . I was so low in the booth it felt like my chin was on the table. Next time I'll ask for a table with chairs not a booth!!

    Columbia is the oldest restaurant in Florida. The food is a combination of Spanish and Cuban. There famous 1905 salad a must to order. It’s delicious. You didn’t go sting ordering any of the dishes. They are all very good.

    We made a reservation for 3 and arrived early, but they required us to wait about 15 minutes past our reservation time. It took some time for our server to come to our table. We went ahead and placed our main meal order right away. Two of us ordered salads with our meal which we would have assumed to come before our main course but my wife’s soup came out first. Once I received my main course, I asked when I would get my salad and the server asked if I did not get it? Then why am I asking? The server never came back to fill our waters and we were only checked on one time. The bill included a QR code to pay and we left a tip based on our mediocre service, which the server apparently was not happy with. I said thank you on the way out, but the server did not reply. The food was great and the ambiance excellent for a Cuban restaurant. It felt like we were in Cuba. Great location also in Celebration.

    We had an amazing lunch at Columbia today; the Cuban & 1905 salad combo was outstanding as usual as was our server, DoryAnn.

    We had the worst experience. The service was terrible. My friend wanted me to go for the experience, and it wasn't at all an experience besides bad. They sat us in the bar area with a large party even though we had reservations. The server was so overwhelmed he passed us off to the bartender (she was so nice). Their famous salad wasn't made at the table. We didn't get enough bread until it was too late. The side of shrimp we ordered was cold by the time it got to the table, so we had to wait for a new order. Once we had all the food, it was tasty. We ordered expresso martinis and they were so sugary we couldn't drink them. They remade them, and they were worse. With all this, the restaurant comped the whole meal. I'm so disappointed. We got a babysitter to go out to have a great night. I honestly won't go back. There are too many awesome restaurants in Orlando.
