Columbia Restaurant

The crab cakes , 1905 Salad , Bread Pudding , Crusty Bread , Garbanzo Soup , Snapper , and everything else on there menu! YOU CAN'T GO WRONG!! And there atmosphere is the icing on the cake ...

Great spot for couples. Split a 1905 salad for an appetizer & a pitcher of sparkling cava sangria . Enjoy fresh baked Cuban bread with your meal. Cannot go wrong with any item from the menu. A must do.

Were the Mojitos better out of the pitcher ? No, but a pitcher with bread and 3 tapas a shot espresso and flan to end it all is a good $35/person well spent and relaxing 2 hours.

Very nice setting, food was very good (I had 1/2 chicken and rice , Umm good), and staff is friendly and they did a good job with our table of 15. You should enjoy!

Absolutely love this place! Only thing that’s missing is my late beautiful wife Heather who passed one year from breast cancer. She was my world, and my everything. We used to eat together here a lot.

The palomilla was wonderful!! The paella was really nice but not enough for more than one person. Really nice place for a lunch .

We really enjoyed the setting of this restaurant . I felt like I was going back in time. The food was wonderful and very tasty. Friendly staff and the restaurant was very clean .

Great for dinner and drinks, especially if you're just visiting the area. Get a pitcher of sangria and enjoy some Spanish food .

Service was great...ask for Amber. Bacon wrapped shrimp was great. Pasta was great. Bread and sangria was delish! Churros were delicious. Just don't get the coffee .

This place was beautiful & even more importantly the food was great. I had their special salad and Cuban sandwich which were both delicious.

Shrimp salteado was decent. Maybe I expected more flavor. Others had the Cuban sandwich which was wonderful. The Cuban bread they served before hand was on point.

Great cuban food , and we are from the land of cuban food . Jumping on the 1905 Salad bandwagon, it was fabulous!

Excellent menu. I don't think there are any bad choices. Gotta have the famous 1905 salad . The restaurant has beautiful Spanish decor.

All the tips tell you how I get the 1905 salad . Listen to all the tips. And good news: when you get home and want another salad , the recipe is on their webpage!

Like everyone else said, the 1905 salad is awesome. Try a few of their drinks as well . Can't really go wrong with anything here. Great food.

Try the Fideua with Mariscos . Even if it's not like the famous spanish dish (Columbia's is more like Seafood pasta with tomaro sauce), it's delicious!

This is my next "gotta go to" restaurant ! For authentic Cuban food , this is unsurpassed. I've been to the one in Ybor City when I was growing up. Beautiful place!

The 1905 salad with grilled chicken is amazing. Ask for Brad as your server, he has a great personality. Overall, this place is fabulous.

Everything is good! The table side sangria is amazing and the table side salad is delicious! Great service and great food.

If you can, make a reservation ahead of time. Can be packed! Always good food! Never fails!

Once a year in September they have 1905 day. All meals are the price they were in 1905. $2.95 for your choice of three meals. Beef - Chicken or Fish . Drinks are .05 cents. Keep checking for the date.

The restaurant is decorated in a very nice Andaluz style. Good seafood and rice plates. The paella is just ok and it can take a while..

Ambiance is good,love here and food,server is also good, will come again

Amazing experience coming here. Food, sangria , service, and ambiance was all incredible.

Order the white chocolate bread pudding ! Omg! Nothing like u would expect. Heaven in ur mouth

Cuban sandwich and 1905 salad is amazing! I go every time I'm in St. Augustine.

Seafood Paella , stuffed grouper , 1905 salad and the watermelon margarita all were fantastic.

Service was awesome! 1905 salad and sangrias were great to share and really good.

The Sangria de Cava 1905 salad and the original cuban sandwich split up between two people is a lunch to be remembered.

Columbia Tampa St Pete Orlando Sand Key are all phenomenal. This is the first time I've been disappointed by their food; both our dinners were bland. The lower rating for this location is accurate.

Excellent wait staff . Great service.

1905 salad , empanadas and Cuban sandwich are must try’s. Yum.

The Gazpacho Andaluz is very refreshing. The croquetas de langosta were delicious although the meat could have been more tender and i think I got some b

Definitely tourist trap-y but that doesn’t mean the food isn’t great. Get some sangria , a Cuban sandwich and a 1905 salad and you’ll be the happiest.

The original salad is incredible. They make it for you right at your table.

Great food, service., and atmosphere.

White Sangria is delightful! Each person gets their own half a baguette so be ready to carb load.

1905 salad is always a great choice.

1905 salad and mojitos are great. Tapas were quiet AWEFUL. We couldn't eat the variety we had ordered.

The house specialy salad called the "1905 Salad " is excellent. You can buy their salad dressing in their gift shop .

sangria is amazing. You have to have a Cuban sandwich if you haven't had one here before.

1905 salad was amazing. The sangria and key lime pie were also delicious

Great atmosphere. Great food. Great drinks.

The Cuban food is the best around. Always great service and food.

It was good but both my wife and I agreed that the food seemed a little bit more flavorful at the Tampa Bay locations

The white Sangria and 1905 salad are delicious!
