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 Columbia’s Original “1905” Salad®, prepared tableside 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 in our courtyard or Mediterranean-style dining rooms, filled with hundreds of hand-painted tiles and Spanish-style fountains.

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.

My waiter practically threw the food at us. The service was not good. We didn't know who to ask for things because he disappeared. The food is super salty.

Chicken in Caesar salad was extremely dry. Thr white sangria tasted like sugared water. The croquettes were dry and didn't taste well. The shrimp artichoke dip and huge chunks of artichoke and little dip. The crackers were dry. The bread and Caesar salad itself were good.

All 4 dinners were excellent. Mixed at table mojito pitcher perfect. Ambiance is good - but very busy somewhat crowded to accommodate demand. Some rooms better than others. Ours near the bar was good for our small group and easy table conversation. The service provided by our waitress was below our expectations - and attitude of only there for the money - not what you expect at a classy place. Poor service definitely impacts overall experience.

Fantastic experience as a first time diner. Carla, our server was amazing. She took great care of us. My husband had the Paella and I had the Jimmy Redfish. The 1905 salad was great. Our whole experience was very memorable. We will be back.

Despite making reservations more than 10 days out, I was given a tablet next to the kitchen entrance/ busing station. It was very noisy and the atrium room was very cold. The redeeming quality was the service and food were very good.
