    The Columbia restaurant is always a winner! We had a fabulous meal and Jack was an exceptional waiter. We love the food, the atmosphere and the value. My husband always starts with the exceptional black bean soup, I had the empanadas yum! We both had Grouper. Rounded out our meal with key lime pie ( a generous slice) and the tres amigos churros, delicious 😋 we highly recommend and we will be back!

    Incredible dinner! Grouper bites and Category 5 shrimp appetizers were as good as it gets. The delicious fishcamp chowder is almost a meal in itself. Finally, the lobster tacos also were great. I apologize f this sounds like I own the place. My wife and I are three times a year customers who simply love this place.

    I believe CATHY was our server. She was attentive, knowledgeable, and pleasant. We did not have to ask for refills on our drinks or water as she seamlessly cleared dishes and refilled beverages. The four of us enjoyed our entrées which came hot and delicious : blackened Mahi, coconut shrimp, fried shrimp and glazed grouper and shrimp The french fries stayed hot served in that lovely metal Cup until the last fry, was consumed which is very unusual for this area. The vegetables were cooked to a perfect al dente and we had a lovely evening.
