   Excellent food and service. This restaurant is a well-oiled machine! So glad they made a full recovery after the hurricanes.

   Wonderful Friday evening dinner outside at Columbia. My ribeye and my wife’s black bean cakes/fritters (as a main) were great. The service (Chris was the server) - excellent. A great night to be on the circle.

   This establishment is our favorite Columbia restaurant as you get the chance to enjoy not only amazing food and drinks but also get the chance to enjoy the surroundings and eat outside if you wish.

   Always consistently good - Columbia never disappoints. Beautiful evening in Sarasota to dine outdoors on the St. Armand's Circle. Excellent service from Frances

   Celebrated my 25th birthday with my mom at our favorite restaurant. From the ambiance to the incredibly detailed staff, to the food it’s always incredible at Columbia. The bread alone makes it worth it, it’s the best bread I’ve ever had, and it’s hard to believe but the food only goes up from the bread!

   Kyle was a great server! He was very attentive and made the best pitcher of white sangria!

   As always the food was excellent but the best part of our experience was the outstanding service and care by Vlad our server. On our next visit we will definitely request him.

   This was a special birthday dinner for an 85-year-old friend. We were seated inside. He was greeted with a birthday wish when he arrived with the rest of our party initially, our server was excellent at getting us drinks and taking our order she was working an out straight with several tables. I believe I counted four full tables one that had a party of eight she was not able to refill our water glasses, and when drink order repeats were done wrong drink order was served to one of our guest. The food itself is always excellent at Columbia Restaurant or disappointment was after the food was served. We did not see anything of our server after she took our order and got our drinks until it was time to bring us the bill. She took care of other tables around us, but did not come back over to our table. That was disappointing because that’s very unusual in this Columbia Restaurant we believe she was over assigned too many tables with too many people for the money that we paid the elderly people we brought and enjoyed it, but we were disappointed.

    A lot of food. Server, Lisa, was very nice. I thought my grouper was tough.
