What an incredible dining experience at the Columbia Restaurant in Tampa! We came over from Bradenton for dinner with my children, and from the moment we sat down, our waiter Alfredo made the entire evening exceptional. Alfredo’s service was absolutely outstanding. He was warm, attentive, knowledgeable, and had a fantastic personality that made us feel right at home. He took the time to recommend some amazing menu items, checked on us throughout the meal, and genuinely made our dining experience memorable. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was beautiful, and Alfredo’s genuine hospitalit

Absolutely fantastic! That's what this place is. First, the show. The flamenco dancing is incredible. The dancers are so talented and it is such a treat to be able to see this part of the culture of Ybor City. The costumes were gorgeous, and the music was so enjoyable. Please treat yourself to this show. Make a reservation and book your table so you can see the show as well as enjoy the food. The bread is perfectly crunchy on the outside while being soft and pillowy on the inside. The Caesar salad and black bean soup are both delicious. I love black bean soup when it's done well and they know

We had an incredible dining experience at Columbia. I ordered the Caesar salad, which was made fresh tableside — the presentation was amazing and it tasted just as good as it looked. For my entrée, I had the filet mignon with Spanish rice and vegetables, and it was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. We also ordered the paella, a classic Spanish dish, which was absolutely delicious and beautifully prepared. For dessert, we enjoyed flan and chocolate chip banana bread pudding, both excellent. We finished the night with a cup of espresso, which was the perfect ending to a wonderful meal. Highly

Such an amazing experience. I was permitted to tour the restaurant and the decor and the history behind it was just amazing. I sat at the bar for dinner and had to get the 1905 salad with some paella. I was also told I had to try their sangria. Everything was so delicious. Kim was my bartender / server and she gave me great recommendations and helped elaborate on the history of the restaurant. Highly recommend for any and every event. I absolutely understand why I was told I needed to come to the Columbia. You should as well. It is absolutely a must-visit restaurant if in Tampa.
