10-48, $$, $$$

Family-owned and operated for more than 114 years, Columbia has earned acclaim for its old-world charm and award-winning Spanish/Cuban cuisine and wine list. Open 365-days a year, including all holidays. Casual attire is fine, but we don't allow sleeveless shirts on men. Join us for century-old family recipes like Paella "a la Valenciana," Red Snapper "Alicante" and fresh seafood specialties. Don't miss Columbia's Original "1905" Salad(R), prepared tableside with our delicious, freshly-made dressing, a 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 in our courtyard or Mediterranean-style dining rooms, filled with hundreds of hand-painted tiles and Spanish-style fountains. We are a sister to the Columbia in Tampa's Ybor City, founded in 1905. Children's menu available. Please visit our website for the most current menu listings.

Exceptionally good. Fantastic choice for my husband's Birthday dinner. Frank our server did a fabulous job. Never had to ask for a thing. Danielle the Manager stopped by the table and even brought my husband some flan for his birthday! Excellent choice. Will definitely be returning and highly recommend.

This is a must! Fantastic menu and absolutely delicious! My favorite, the 1905 salad with a cup of their homemade black bean soup and a warm and toasty cuban sandwich! Yum, yum, yummy! Sangria made fresh and table side. Courteous staff and great service. Enjoy!

I would like to commend the Columbia on its outstanding performance for our Christmas experience in 2019 with them. We had both a meal there and then later ordered take out. We were very impressed with the friendliness and politeness of the staff even though they were under extreme pressure due to the crazy busy atmosphere. Truly amazing staff. Thank you Columbia!

If you eat at the restaurant and get your ticket the parking is free if not it's $10.00 for 3 hours I believe.
