Columbia Restaurant - Tampa

The staff at this restaurant, which I loved 30 years ago, and spent the last 25 years bragging about it to my wife, ruined our 2:30 reservation for our 25th anniversary. I am disappointed beyond description. Bad move, especially for an historic establishment such as this.

Love the ambiance. We both enjoyed the 1905 salad prepared table side. Unfortunately our server was so soft spoken, we could barely hear her.

We all throughly enjoyed our meals. Everything was very good.

We enjoyed our visit to the Columbia. Service was wonderful. Food was outstanding. I highly recommend the 1905 Salad and the Cuban sandwich! The black beans and rice soups and the Spanish bean soups were great. Everything that we ordered was delicious. Highly recommend the Columbia! Be prepared to immerse yourself in Spanish ambiance. It’s a beautiful restaurant.

Loved the historic restaurant and the menu. The wait staff seemed fantastic except for our server who was more interested in giving tours than providing us with service. That said, I would definitely go back.
