About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Charming
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 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.

    Columbia is always delicious. The Celebration location was the only one I had not visited before and it was great. Delicious as ever. Excellent atmosphere. Excellent service. Sat at the bar for a couple of drinks before dinner and that was fantastic too. I'm not sure you could call Columbia a chain restaurant, but if more than one location means its a chain...then Columbia is the best one.

    The food never disappoints at Columbia. Our server Terry was full of recommendations despite it only being his third day on the job. He was also attentive to my gluten sensitivity. Terry was personable and enthusiastic. My husband and son raved over their shrimp appetizer and the warm bread. If you dine at the Columbia, you have to start with their signature salad, which is amazing and gluten-free. The restaurant's ambiance hasn't changed in years. Our booth seat had a depression in it and needed some refurbishment. I compensated by sitting on my leg. Not a big deal, but some of the dining furniture could use some TLC. After dinner their is a beautiful lake to walk around and if you want to dessert, and ice cream/fudge shop around the corner....

    Surprisingly affordable for what looks to be a rather upscale restaurant! The service was fast, and the food was sensational. Will definitely be returning sometime!

    Did not like the table we were seated at and when we requested a change it wasn’t met with good reception and it appeared to be a bit of an inconvenience for the hostess

    We had a reservation and we were seated right away. The service was excellent; we had two servers helping us and they were both very attentive to our needs. We had shrimp with yellow rice, paella, Cuban steak and slow roasted pork with yellow rice, beans, plantains, and yucca. For an appetizer, we have crabcakes and the beef empanadas. Everything was absolutely delicious and well seasoned. We were celebrating my sibling’s birthday and the staff sang happy birthday to him and presented him with a small flan dessert, which he really enjoyed. Our experience at this restaurant was exceptional. We look forward to our next time there.

    Great food as always. Seemed like our server payed us less attention because we are a young couple, could’ve also been the stress of multiple large parties but service wasn’t what i would’ve expected for the price.
