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 Columbia’s Original “1905” Salad®, prepared tableside 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 in our courtyard or Mediterranean-style dining rooms, filled with hundreds of hand-painted tiles and Spanish-style fountains.

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.

    We had a wonderful time and the food was so delicious. The flan dessert was out of this world! The waiter even remembered to acknowledge that my husband and I were celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary. And to top the evening off, the holiday decorations were gorgeous!

    The food was excellent. The waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu items. Everyone's meal came out except ours. It wasn't long. The manager came over and apologized. We have no complaints. It was worth waiting for.

    We enjoyed the food and cocktails. Hits among our table were the huckleberry martini and mango tango for cocktails, the stuffed piquillo peppers and scallops for appetizers, and the chicken manchego, 1905 salad and Spanish bean soup, mahi mahi and mojo sandwich.

    Service was amazing. Peak time and they were still able to work us around arriving early for our reservation. Our server was very accommodating and hospitable. The food was great and the chefs flavors were wonderful. Definitely a go to eatery every time I visit St Augustine.

    Everything was really good… got there 30 minutes before our reservation and still seat us down. It was really busy due to being Christmas day and the only restaurant open but the bread and butter was awesome, their table side salad was good but what blew my mind was their signature hot sauce and their scallops delicious!!! Pet friendly! We loved it!
