Waterfront dining at its finest! Family-owned and operated for 115 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. Choose a table looking out onto the radiant blue waters of the Intracoastal Waterway from the Mediterranean dining room, or experience the casual atmosphere from our outdoor deck on the water. Join us for century-old family recipes like Paella a la Valenciana, Roast Pork a la Cubana and fresh seafood specialties. Sample a fine Spanish wine like Montecillo or Campillo. 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.

    New to this type of cuisine, the food was excellent and Sean was possibly the best server I’ve had in my life to date. Lively atmosphere, lots of energy. Diverse menu that kept both me and my wife happy (we left stuffed!). We’re heading back to try the lunch menu tomorrow.

    Beautiful view of the water and people watching. We stopped in for lunch and had the Eggplant Riojana with a side of Cesar Salad. For dessert, we had the bread pudding with coffee. The food was delicious, including the Cuban bread. Our server Michael was pleasant.
