Dined for Thanksgiving and we were seated on time. We ordered drinks and appetizers and both were delivered quick and were delicious. Our dinners were so good and filling it was tough to find room for delicious pumpkin pie that came next! We were never rushed and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. I have to give a complement to our Server Lauren! Lauren was so much fun to talk to and a great Server at Tamp Palms location tonight.

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.

We picked Birkins to celebrate a gfs birthday so all 20 of us decided to pick somewhere none of us have been to. We were all blown away by how awesome Birkins was. Great service, best steak I have ever had (and I have been to all the high end steakhouses in TPA) and it was a fabulous atmosphere.
