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.

    Today was the worst day at this restaurant. I’ve been here many times. Everything has always been great but today they just simply suck. They dropped the ball on the way I ordered my food. The chef said he couldn’t accommodate me. They never brought my bread out. I just had a bad experience today at this restaurant like I said normally everything is on point. The location is amazing. The restaurant itself is beautiful. The people are fantastic. Today the food just simply sucked. What upset me the most they didn’t even try to make up for the ball drop. They were just like here you go - deal with it! Very disappointed today with this restaurant.

    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.
