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 Columbia’s Original “1905” Salad®, prepared tableside 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 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. Open 365-days a year, including all holidays.

    We use to eat here once or twice a month last couple outings have been less than stellar. We tried again last night and much of the same almost two hours from the time we sat till the time we left without ordering appetizers. Food was clearly sitting out for a while before brought to our table. Ordered drinks we never received consistently asking for refills that never came. Disappointed it was our favorite down town for years.

    The food and service were excellent. We were seated on the third level which is quieter than the lower floors. The check in on our reservation was a bit chaotic at first. The lobby was crowded with walk-ins and those holding reservations. The hostess handling it was fantastic. She was like an air traffic controller at a busy airport. Overall, it was great and would recommend it as long as you have a reservation at busy times.

    Always good food, quality staff, reasonable prices. As a local, this restaurant has been a long time staple. Every option on the menu is great. From the 1905 salad to the sangria, the classic Cuban sandwich and the steak - there is no wrong menu selection. Restaurant is great for lunch or dinner. Excellent for large groups or small more intimate dining.
