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.

After that I believe it turns into a dinner club with dancing and shows. My friend and I ordered the paella and shared it. It was delicious and just enough for two people. It was very expensive in my opinion but very good. Only my mom's is better in my opinion but this is close. The menu is very pricey and after 6 pm there's a $50 per person minimum. One drink and an appetizer will get you there. The service is really good and all of the women working there were gorgeous. There's plenty of parking, very clean inside but it was very cold inside so dress warm and don't forget your wallet.

Two Nights in a Row and Even Better the Second Time!…read more This was my second night in a row at Columbia Restaurant, and that alone should tell you how much I enjoyed it! I'm attending the Connect Conference and after eating here last night, I told a few friends how good the food was. I even told Casey, the Assistant Manager, that I was going to spread the word. Well... OMG. Apparently I spread the word a little TOO well because everyone showed up tonight! My reservation didn't get made, so I headed to the bar, and it ended up being a great experience. There was only one seat available at the bar, so we made it work with one person at the bar and the rest of us at a nearby table. That's when we had the pleasure of meeting Chris, the bartender. He was AMAZING! Even though we weren't all technically sitting at the bar, Chris took care of our entire group and never missed a beat. He was friendly, attentive, welcoming, and made us feel like taking care of us was no trouble at all. Great food brought me back for a second night, but service like Chris provided is what makes you want to keep coming back. Thank you, Casey I'm sorry I missed you and Chris, for another great evening at Columbia. And apparently, when I tell people a restaurant is good, they listen!

The original Columbia in Ybor City is a genuine piece of Tampa history -- founded 1903 as a saloon,…read morebecame a restaurant in 1905, now spans an entire city block and claims the title of largest Spanish restaurant in the world. Still run by descendants of the founder. We had a Saturday 7pm reservation and the place was packed (seats around 1,700 people, per our server), but we were seated only 5-6 minutes late and service never felt strained despite the crowd. Started with warm, authentic Cuban bread and butter, then split the Original "1905" Salad -- tossed and served tableside, with Romano cheese, garlic dressing, ham, tomatoes, lettuce, and Swiss cheese. It's basically an entree on its own. The empanadas were also excellent: light crust, extremely flavorful filling, juices running with every bite. For my entree I had the Red Snapper "Adelita" -- grilled, topped with hearts of palm, artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, served over their signature yellow rice. Perfectly cooked fish, very flavorful toppings. For dessert, we compared the key lime pie against the white chocolate bread pudding. The pie was well-made -- perfect texture, perfect graham cracker crust, light raspberry sauce -- but a touch light on the tart key lime punch I look for. The bread pudding was the better dish: rich, decadent, excellent. Finished with proper Cuban espresso. The menu here is enormous -- expect to need multiple visits to make a dent in it. Everything we tried was excellent. Highly recommend, but book ahead on weekends; even with 1,700 seats, this place fills up.

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.

I ordered a "small" Cuban but just one half of it had me so stuffed! Im already looking forward to the leftovers later! I also ordered a beef and cheese empanada which was yummy as well.

The chicken here is unfortunately dry and not seasoned too well. The best part was probably the beans and rice. I still think of the aijiaco too which it was just too hot for me to order on a scorching August day. (Colombian chicken stew). I'll probably be back in the winter for that Aijiaco, but the chicken we will pass. Service was okay this time, and ambiance is quite nice in here.
