Best Restaurants for People Watching in Tampa

Great dining experience. Sat outside and there was a lot of sidewalk traffic. The help was excellent. The food was divine.

We had our reservation for Thanksgiving at 2:00pm arrived early but were seated a before our time. We had a nice seat on a corner. Our server Kelly was the best. Very attentive and knowledgeable. We ordered the Brussels sprouts as an appetizer. The best we have ever had. The food was great and the portions very big. We will come back next year.

This is our 4th year in a row having our Thanksgiving meal at The Columbia. We really enjoy the Thanksgiving dinner and the pitcher of sangria. However, this was the first year my husband wasn’t able to swap one of his sides for something else. He was cut off immediately when he made the request and was told no. It kind of dimmed the mood for a moment…as we were used to them always so accommodating to us in previous years. It was such a shame, they chose to waste some of the food over letting a customer get what they want, but oh well. Overall, everything else was perfect. We will definitely go back next Thanksgiving and continue our tradition.

Everything we have here is amazing. Creative and delicious. This time we had the Devil on Horseback, Thai Curry Mussels, Pub Burger, and the Shrimp and Grits and everything was really good. We had the Chocolate Silk pie for dessert and it was very rich, but the fresh whipped cream mellowed it out perfectly. Can't wait to go back!

Great Happy hour menu - good food, good value. Stopped by on our way to a Straz show and we will be back!
