Family-owned and operated for more than 120 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 the Columbia’s Original “1905” Salad®, prepared 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 outdoors in our café or courtyard, or inside our Tapas Bar or Mediterranean-style dining rooms filled with hand-painted tiles and family heirlooms. 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.
“Such a great atmosphere and friendly service. The food is melt in your mouth. The 1905 salad is not just a salad it is the right mix of everything. Fresh warm bread and butter. The filet was so tender and seasoned perfectly. The desserts are homemade goodness!”
“Was in Orlando for a convention. Could not leave the area without visiting the Columbia, just love everything about it, the food, service, and atmosphere are top notch. Ordered their beautiful Cuban and world famous 1905 Salad. The salad is wonderfully fresh and a meal all by itself. Ordered two more salads to go, so I can share with family tonight for dinner. Thanks for a delicious lunch Columbia! Can't wait to visit again.”
“While staying in the area for business I looked up a place for lunch and came across Columbia. I wasn’t aware they had more than just their original location in Ybor City, so I went to try it. Service was welcoming and helpful. The venue and décor was beautiful, very much like a Cuban place… tropical and nicely done. Their menu it loaded with lots of amazing options, they even have a half and half option, consisting of half a sandwich or salad with a cup of soup – A great deal! I started with their Spanish Bean Soup and it was fabulous! I loved the porky, smoky flavor it had. Next up was half their 1905 salad and half their Cubano. The salad is finished tableside before being served and it looked and tasted great! Nice, crispy lettuce and fresh veggies in it. The Cubano was nice, it had a decent amount of meat in it, I just wish I got more of the mustard and pickle in each bite. Overall, I really enjoyed lunch and would recommend stopping in!”
“This restaurant I chose when I planned my itenary. The atmosphere is just amazing. I chose outdoor dinning. Just sat and took in the view. People watched & enjoyed one of my best lunches ever. For someone who rarely finishes lunches/dinners I chose yellow rice & prawns and how totally tasty this lunch was.. really recommend this! I took more than half to holiday home.. The lake and park was lovely to walk off my lunch and really enjoy the surroundings..”
“Friendly service, excellent food, pleasant atmosphere. A great option for those who can't go to Tampa to visit the first restaurant in this family-run chain. I recommend, of course, the traditional Cuban salad and sandwich. The roasted suckling pig with rice and beans was wonderful. And, a detail: rice and beans are the most traditional food in Brazil, but this one had a special flavor. The dessert, bread pudding with chocolate, was divine. I recommend it to everyone!”
