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.

    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.

    I had dinner at the restaurant on a Saturday evening. I have been looking forward to eating at The Columbia for sometime. The atmosphere was chaotic and extremely loud. I could not hear the person sitting across from me. I felt rushed the whole time I was there. It was very obvious they were ready for me to eat and leave so they could sit another table. I had the famous 1905 salad which was very good and the seafood paella. The food was good, but not outstanding although I do feel it comes at a very good value. I would like to go back when they are not so busy and maybe I would have a much better experience.

    Always a great dining experience. We made it a point to come for dinner instead of lunch. Very good espresso martini. Best calamari - cooked to perfection - not rubbery - melts in your mouth. 1905 salad with warm Cuban bread - always a treat. Entrees were served piping hot. I had seafood pasta dish - great flavor and very rich. No room for dessert. Never disappoints. We’ve been coming for many years when we vacationed near Disney. Now we are fortunate to live in the area.

    The 1905 salad is the star. I can’t say the same for the entrees. Over the years I think we’ve tried a number of different dishes. None of which are a stand out. I’ll stick with the salad and the dessert.

    Food was just okay. Service was lacking as the pacing was way too long. We were there for almost 2 hours. Took about 10 minutes before we were greeted by server after seating.
