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.

    Overall, really good experience at Columbia in St Augustine. We came for thanksgiving week so as expected the restaurant was extremely busy. Luckily for us, we had made a reservation beforehand, otherwise it was a 3hr wait. Food was great & tasty. We ordered mojitos, some tapas and entrees. Very lovely decorated and our server was awesome! Definitely recommended.

    The white sangria and 905 salad are a must. Ask for Bo, he was very personable and his customer service was outstanding!
