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.

    Dining at Columbia never disappoints. High quality food and service in a great fun atmosphere. Free parking is icing on the cake.

    I hope today’s visit was a one off! We’ve been loyal Columbia patrons for years at the one here and Ybor! The food never disappoints but the service today was frustrating! Drinks left empty, salads forgotten about and not a single apology for the bad experience. For a restaurant that sells themself on service we’ve had better service at Culver’s this week! We should have asked for a manager but we’re not those type of people, it was easier to write lunch off and leave…

    Carla, our waitress, was outstanding! She made several food recommendations and we were quite happy. Try the pitchers of sangria. So many good food choices. We will return.

    Great food! The 1905 salad did not disappoint. Our service was excellent and the main dishes were very good. We sat in the first room on the right. It was so loud in there that we could not have a conversation. Will go back, but this time, will call for reservations and try another table location.
