About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Charming
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.

    We have dined many times at this restaurant and have never walked away feeling like we did yesterday. The hostess was rude, never smiled, and it was obvious she did not want to be there. I had requested a table by the window and she sat us all the way in the back of the restaurant until I reminded her I requested a window seating. Service was terrible. I don’t know if he had too many tables or was new and overwhelmed but we waited 10+ minutes before he ever came over to our table after we were sat to even get drink orders. The sangria and the salad were great, of course, but we had the steak sandwich and the meat on it was not good at all.  i’m sure we will eventually go back and try again, but definitely not anytime in the near future.

    Overall was good. Only complaint was my favorite Shrimp Allegio had very tiny shrimp and they were tough. Usually they are large shrimp and tender. Asked our waiter and he brought a new one that was a little better but something has changed, maybe sourcing. Hopefully they are better next time.

    We had reservations two weeks in advance and still ended up in the bar area. 4 of the 5 meals were good, but the 5th meal was below standards for this restaurant. Noise in the bar area was very loud and made our own conversations difficult. Service (Rickey) was good and very attentive to our needs. I was, however, very disappointed in our fellow diners. Does anyone care how they dress or what they look like? Shorts, tank tops and men wearing baseball caps have no place in a restaurant of this caliber. The servers were all better dressed than the clients.
