We a had a great family dinner. We even brought our 17 month old granddaughter, who enjoyed her dinner too! The French onion soup, lobster bisque, steak, ahi tuna, scallops and Chilean sea bass were very good. Service was very good. We’ll be back.

Excellent as always. A beautiful day and dining experience. Only wish we could come more often than during our winter escape from Illinois.

Ayanna our server was AMAZING! She was so thoughtful about suggesting menu items. The food was incredible . We’re so happy we chose Columbia today.

Our go-to place for special occasions (last night Valentines) so we’re very fond of this quaint restaurant in downtown Sarasota except last night it was so busy that some items seemed to have slipped through the cracks. The food is always great however last night wasn’t as great. The service was excellent for us but we noticed other tables were not as fortunate. The prices seemed to have been adjusted for the Valentine’s menu (adjusted meaning RAISED), for we each had a meal, (Grouper / Pork Oso-busco) nothing fancy) a glass of wine and shared a dessert with one complimentary basket of bread (NOT even a house salad) and the bill was $175! A bit pricey if you’d ask me.

We had tickets to McCurdy’s comedy and saw that Mediterranean was nice and close so we decided to try it out. We’ve been here four years ago, but haven’t been there recently. We were pleasantly surprised at how good the food was and how quickly we were able to get in and out for our show.
