Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Zephyrhills

My wife and I celebrated our 52nd wedding anniversary at the Y-bor city Columbia Restaurant in Tampa, Florida. We had reservations and arrived a few minutes late and were seated almost immediately. Our Waiter "Keith" anticipated our needs and was very good. When Keith found out that we were there to celebrate our 52nd wedding anniversary he alerted the Manager who came to our table introduced himself and presented us with a congratulations card which was very thoughtful. The food was very very good, the Sangria was excellent and the "White Chocolate Bread Pudding" was to die for. We will be returning to the Columbia every chance we get for the food, service and ambiance. Regards, Greg and Brenda

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 came here on one of the busiest days of the year, checked in early, and went to the dock bar out back to wait for a table. The bar was busy but had enough seats for our large party. Service was friendly and quick. We enjoyed a round of drinks before our table was ready and we moved inside. We were sat at exactly our reservation time. Server was great, and attentive. Food and drinks were outstanding and the vibe of the restaurant was perfect. Definitely want to return in the future and will always recommend to friends.

Very popular and busy restaurant, we made reservations ahead of the time, but the check in was still a bit messy. Service was great, she was very helpful and on task. There were 3 of us and we ordered a sushi platter, Pekin Duck for 2, and appetizers including ribs and shishito peppers. The sushi was OK, but the duck and ribs were amazing. The duck was perfectly toasted with crispy skin and very tender meat. The menu and taste is more tailored to American taste. Definitely highly recommend and make sure make reservations ahead of the time. They also have a casual Street Food stall outside, very interesting concept for quick bites.
