Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Palm Harbor

Fabulous dining experience. The presentation from the executive Chef, Ciero, was an extraordinary experience for us and our guests. The food was amazing, fresh and authentic Italian. Marco, a true Italian from Milan was terrific. The Dover Sole was phenomenal. The Bolognese lasagna and linguini Bolognese delicious. We started with Bruschetta which is a very different style loved it. The guys loved their oysters. The owner came over a couple times-gorgeous and welcoming. On weekends, they offer live music which was very good and sang the old songs of Sinatra etc dining music and an extra is the Champayne tray before dinner. An extraordinary birthday dinner with complimentary dessert with a candle.

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 thought this place deserved 5 stars. We were a little late to our 5:30 reservation… about 20 minutes. When we got there the hostess took our name and we were seated within 5 minutes. We started with the Sangria and the Basil Basilica and both were fantastic. For appetizers we had the ricotta spread (which was very good but a little too much ricotta cream), the octopus (very good) and the wagyu carpaccio (which was my favorite!). My boyfriend had the chicken for the entree and I had the Mafaldine. Both were absolutely amazing and will be going back!

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.

Great food! We enjoyed the buffet. The server was very sweet but did not come around often enough to check on us to see if we needed drink refills. Overall, a great experience.
