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.

    The valet at Hammock Beach Resort, who is from this area, highly recommended Columbia and we were extremely pleased! The atmosphere was very cool and the food was absolutely delicious and a great value! We will be passing this recommendation forward!

    As always a fun and great dinner, the sangria is off the chart.

    Unfortunately the service was very slow considering we only ordered tapas. The management was apologetic, which we appreciate, however did not improve the overall experience. Maybe better luck next time.
