Best Restaurants for People Watching in Lakewood Ranch

We a had a great family dinner. We even brought our 17 month old granddaughter, who enjoyed her dinner too! The French onion soup, lobster bisque, steak, ahi tuna, scallops and Chilean sea bass were very good. Service was very good. We’ll be back.

Ayanna our server was AMAZING! She was so thoughtful about suggesting menu items. The food was incredible . We’re so happy we chose Columbia today.

Great food and atmosphere as usual, it was Valentines Day, so a little hectic. Server was friendly and attentive, we asked for bread twice to server and once to busboy until it was finally served. Meal came and waitress asked for anytime else and we asked for butter for potatoes, but we never received it. Those things will not stop us from continuing to eat there though

This remains our absolute favorite restaurant anywhere in the world. We had Tuna trio, Seabass, mousse in chocolate shell and my husband had paella. Every bite was scrumptious with the best flavoring. Our pear and Manhattan martinis were also fabulous. The waiter was beyond the best as we celebrated year 55 of engagement. He recognized it, had a card and rose for us and a free dessert. What a wonderful dining experience.

Really great food selection here. We sat outside and we were there early enough for half priced wine which was great. Service was nice, but I think our server was a little young and shy. Didn’t really provide a lot of details, but was still a very nice server. I’m probably being overly picky with that. Highly recommend! We will be back.🔙
