    Columbia Restaurant was incredible! We got there about 15 mins early for our reservation and they sat us right away. We aren’t the most adventurous eaters but branched out and were NOT disappointed!! Don’t be intimidated about the long menu, the servers are great at explaining things! We had a great time!

    Wow! What a dining experience! Paul was knowledgeable and attentive with great recommendations! Lauren, our server, was sweet, kind, and made the evening special. Oh, and the food was prepared and seasoned perfectly! The ratatouille (a side item) should be its own dish. It is out of this world. I have never had anything like it. Cheers to the entire staff at La Nouvelle Bistro for a memorable evening. We will be back!

    Fine dining has grown exponentially in St Augustine and this fabulous location in the Casa Monica has had a few hits and misses. Cordova is a hit! We’ve dine here a few times but tonight was exceptional. Our server, Martin, is wonderful, he knows the menu and was spot on with every suggestion. Lobster roll appetizer and She crab bisque are phenomenal. The steaks, filet tonight, melts in your mouth. The signature pork chop was amazing. Finished with cinnamon bread pudding. What a treat! Oh, and the convenience of valet parking. Highly recommend!!

    Food was exceptional. A little noisy but it’s a small space and a historic building so that’s to be expected. Highly recommend checking this spot out!
