Best Restaurants for Groups in Celebration

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.

Everything was awesome. We had an issue with parking due to Christmas Day parking issues. We arrived on property an hour prior to our reservation and it took almost another hour to park. I was worried that the restaurant would not hold our reservation but was told not to worry. Once seated and our server, Chris, came to the table, the experience more than made up for the parking fiasco. Chris was very attentive and a joy to deal with.

Another wonderful evening at The Columbia. They were extremely accommodating when it was impossible for us to find a place to park (perhaps don't go to Celebration at all on holiday evenings). They held our reservation and sat us promptly as soon as we arrived although I must say several disgraceful entitled newcomers were hassling the staff about wait times. They kept their cool much better than I would have. Service was excellent, food was delicious, drinks were well-made. We always leave asking "why don't we come here more often" and we will. We love The Columbia and we loved this Christmas meal.

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.

The food is excellent. I frequently can't decide whether I prefer the Fish & Chips (which is not greasy, but fresh and tasty), the Shepherd's Pie (which is very tasty and isn't overwhelmed by a large amount of crust), or the Fish Chowder (rich and creamy). My wife has the same problem with the Raglan Risotto (which she exclaims over every time she has it), the Shepherd's Pie or the Cider Salmon. And the chocolate lava cake for dessert is simply outstanding.
