Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Indian Rocks Beach

We had a fantastic time 12-27-24. Dinner was outstanding I had the prime and my date had the sea bass. It was my birthday and everyone went out of their way to wish me a happy birthday. Our server Bryan was excellent quick with service and getting anything we needed. It is a little pricey so be sure to check out the menu to see if it fits your purse.

We sat under the covered patio and it was a lovely evening for it. We ordered a cup of the lobster bisque and the seasonal butternut squash and crab bisque - both very good but I fancied the seasonal one better. We shared the burrata, lobscargot and the tuna sashimi. Everything was very fresh. Hard to mess up burrata. Lobscargot was delicious - great for those not willing to go for escargot. The tuna sashimi could lose the Old Bay seasoning - kinda messes up the flavor; too salty. But otherwise fresh and tasty.

This is clearly the most elegant restaurant in the Tampa Bay area with exceptional, authentic Italian food. The extensive menu has something for everyone. The portions are generous and served appropriately to enjoy each special sauce. Service was superior to any other Tampa Bay Area restaurant. There are many seating options including outdoor, main dining room, bar area with live music at the perfect volume (can eat at bar or tables in the bar area). Dress up or business casual. Thanks for a great night to celebrate our anniversaries!

We were seated on time with our dinner reservation. We opted to sit outside which was a beautiful evening overlooking the Intracoastal waterway. The service was timely and the waiter was friendly enough. Everyone enjoyed their selection of entrees and we indulged in the flan and the guava turnover for dessert which was delectable. We were glad we chose to sit outside because we noticed the noise level inside was quite loud. We have been to the Columbia Restaurant numerous times and the food quality and taste remains consistent. Always enjoyable.

We went for Christmas eve dinner, had martinis at bar first, ou table was ready exactly when we were, we ordered a few appetizers as our meal they were outstanding.
