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.

    Christmas Eve service was very slow, other servers were much more attentive. My husband steak was fabulous, my picadillo was below average. Key lime pie and Cuban coffee were excellent. We do thank the servers specially tonight.

    Jennifer, our server was excellent. Most of the dishes were just okay. The famous Cuban sandwich had little to desire, I have made better Cubans at my house; they were very dry and not much taste. The guava dessert was very tasty.

    We waited over an hour for our food and it was served cold. They heated it but it was disappointing not eating together with our group. Our waiter was only attentive only at the end of our experience. The place was decorated beautifully
