  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Charming
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.

    Food was outstanding as ever, however, had to wait over and over and over for the drinks to be refilled.. they had somebody standing there watching tables, came by to refill iced tea saw the water was empty, but did not come back… it’s the most simple thing you can do for Customer Service…

    Love this restaurant but we got sat at the worst table possible. We were trapped in a corner with no way to get out once a party of 10 sat down beside us. The waiters could barely get our food to us. We had to have 2 people move from 2 different tables just to get up to leave.

    Great experience, yet again, at Columbia during an early dinner last night. The food is consistent and delicious, every time. Angela and her manager, Chris were both friendly and accommodating. The warm bread takes the hangry away as soon as you sit and order their Sangria or perfectly crafted cocktails. The 1905 salad is a must, the fillet is cooked exactly as ordered and the Arroz con Pollo is my favorite. The portions may feed us for another couple of days. It was lovely to not be rushed during a relaxing meal. The ambience is perfect for a family meal or more quietly in the smaller tables around the dining room.

    Columbia is always delicious. The Celebration location was the only one I had not visited before and it was great. Delicious as ever. Excellent atmosphere. Excellent service. Sat at the bar for a couple of drinks before dinner and that was fantastic too. I'm not sure you could call Columbia a chain restaurant, but if more than one location means its a chain...then Columbia is the best one.

    The food never disappoints at Columbia. Our server Terry was full of recommendations despite it only being his third day on the job. He was also attentive to my gluten sensitivity. Terry was personable and enthusiastic. My husband and son raved over their shrimp appetizer and the warm bread. If you dine at the Columbia, you have to start with their signature salad, which is amazing and gluten-free. The restaurant's ambiance hasn't changed in years. Our booth seat had a depression in it and needed some refurbishment. I compensated by sitting on my leg. Not a big deal, but some of the dining furniture could use some TLC. After dinner their is a beautiful lake to walk around and if you want to dessert, and ice cream/fudge shop around the corner....

    Surprisingly affordable for what looks to be a rather upscale restaurant! The service was fast, and the food was sensational. Will definitely be returning sometime!
