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 the Columbia’s Original “1905” Salad®, prepared 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 outdoors in our café or courtyard, or inside our Tapas Bar or Mediterranean-style dining rooms filled with hand-painted tiles and family heirlooms.

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.

    Food was great as always! Our serve was not the best, he was very slow and seemed uninterested. Our bill was incorrect as we were charged for an additional salad and he wanted to argue over it.

    Food is always excellent, we come to Florida every year for a couple of weeks and always hit Them up 2-3 times. The half sandwich and salad for lunch is excellent

    We had a 6:45 reservation for 3 but there was an accident on the was as well as a Christmas event in Celebration on the same night (which we didn't know about). Parking was atrocious but this was not Columbia's fault. When we were walked to our table, it was in the bar area and it was FREEZING! My mother (who is almost in her 80s) asked if we could move to the main dining room and we were met with rolled eyes and scoffs. There were plenty of open tables in the dining room available but we were told they were all reserved (yes, we know, that is what reservations are for and we had one). We did not get seated until 7:30. Our waitress was great and attentive. She was the redeemer of the evening. Food was amazing, as usual, but the hostess staff could not have cared less. I think we will stick to other Columbia restaurants moving forward.

    Really enjoyed the food and the service was outstanding. We sat by a window with a water view and that was nice as well. Our food came out really fast. Right before we were finishing our bread our meals arrived.
