Usually we catch our now favorite bartender Javon and he makes a mean Lemon Lychee! I also love that they have hookah here. It seems like there aren't many places in the area that have hookah and sometimes I don't feel like driving to Tampa for it. I STILL haven't had a chance to try the food yet, but I've had friends tell me all the time that the food is fire. I'll keep coming back for sure.

The vibe is energetic and electrifying from the moment you walk in. I tried the Bad & Boujee cocktail, which was surprisingly good for a vodka-based drink, and the margarita tower was an absolute showstopper. As for the food, where do I begin? Everything was well-seasoned, perfectly prepared, and beautifully presented. The attention to detail really stood out. Despite how busy the restaurant was, our food came out quickly, and the service was attentive throughout the meal. Pricing felt fair for the experience, atmosphere, and quality of the food. Definitely a fun spot for a group dinner or celebration.

I ordered the…read morespeciality drink RITA Flight which consists of three miniature Margaritas (Classic, Dragon Fruit and Cocorita). They all looked different but tasted the same (Nasty). I asked the waiter for a Heineken (can't go wrong with that I thought). The waiter advised that there were no more. Okay , well let me have a classic margarita. The color of it was a ghost white and a couple of sips made me so sick it ruined my entire trip. The Server had a poor attitude, the drinks were terrible, and there is not one thing Bahamas about the place. In closing, I feel that if a person is not willing to serve people from all walks of life (race, color, creed, etc.) should go into a profession where he doesn't have to deal with people period!!! We took our leftovers with us to discard because I felt they probably would have reused for the next customer who was not of their likings. WORSE DINING EXPERIENCE IN THIS CENTURY!!!

Loaded with meats and topping such a good appetizer for sharing! The bandeja paisa was good but I wish the meats were a bit more flavorful.

Overall not a bad experience I just enjoy the unique modern dishes that LCPX cafe offers more than what's offered here. I went with two other people and we shared the app and main entree and still had leftover food so the portions are HUGE!

Recommended by our friends, we made a reservation at Columbia Restaurant during our visit to Ybor…read moreCity on Friday. As the oldest restaurant in Florida and the largest Spanish restaurant in the world, we felt it was a must-visit to experience its rich history and unique atmosphere. We also reserved seats for the Flamenco dance show, which had a $10 cover charge per person. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful and enormous, with so many different dining rooms. You could probably get lost trying to find your friends inside, just kidding! We were lucky enough to get a table near the stage, so we could enjoy the Flamenco performance while having dinner. For our meal, we started with the Caldo Gallego "Giant Soup" ($10), which was hearty, flavorful, and incredibly comforting. We also ordered Columbia's Original "1905" Salad ($18). Made with crisp iceberg lettuce, julienned baked ham, natural Swiss cheese, tomatoes, olives, grated Romano cheese, Lea & Perrins® Worcestershire sauce, and their famous garlic dressing, it was fresh, light, and absolutely delicious. Our main dish was the Mojito Chicken ($25). The chicken was very flavorful, especially with its delicious citrus-garlic sauce. Although the chicken itself was just a little on the dry side in my opinion, the flavorful sauce made up for it, and the dish was still very enjoyable. We also had the Paella "a la Valenciana" ($40), which was loaded with clams, mussels, shrimp, scallops, calamari, chicken, and pork, along with green peppers, Spanish onions, ripe tomatoes, garlic, and a splash of white wine. It was a generous portion packed with fresh seafood and rich Spanish flavors. The New York Strip Sirloin "The Bambino" ($53) was another excellent choice. The 14 oz. USDA Choice wet-aged boneless strip steak was tender, juicy, and cooked perfectly. To finish our meal, we ordered the Flan ($8). It was smooth, creamy, and absolutely delicious, a perfect ending to a wonderful dinner. The Flamenco dance show was fantastic! The dancers were energetic and passionate, making the entire dining experience even more lively and memorable. Combined with the excellent service, it made for a truly enjoyable evening. Overall, Columbia Restaurant is much more than just a place to eat, it's a historic landmark and an unforgettable dining experience. Between the beautiful Spanish architecture, rich history, delicious food, outstanding service, and exciting Flamenco performance, it's definitely worth visiting when you're in Ybor City.
