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.

    Unfortunately the service was very slow considering we only ordered tapas. The management was apologetic, which we appreciate, however did not improve the overall experience. Maybe better luck next time.

    Took 20 mins to get situated and to a table even though we had reservations. The silverware was dirty and it was obvious. Food was your typical experience, nothing special.

    Bad check in. Had reservations and waited over half an hour past checking in to be seated. Dinning room way too bright and over lit. 1905 salad is an overrated Cobb salad meets Olive Garden. My Ropa Vieja had almost zero meat in it and was a soupy tomato and onion mess. My wife’s chicken mangengo was good, but that was it. For the prices, even knowing it is a tourist trap were not worth the experience and food.
