   Wonderful food and service! We really enjoyed having Ayanna as our server. She was very knowledgeable and took great care of us! We can’t wait to come back!

   I’ve been meaning to try Columbia Restaurant for years and this year on our trip to Sarasota a friend reminded me it was a must try. The food, history and ambience was fantastic, but what really made the experience memorable was our server Patrik. We are a party of 8 with 2 special needs kids and he truly went above and beyond. Not only was he just a terrific server, ready with a variety of recommendations for 1st timers; he quickly recognized our unique needs and made everyone feel special. We will absolutely be back the next time we’re in town, and hopefully we’ll be able to request him again.

   We were seated in the covered patio next to the waiter’s entry door. So waiters were carrying loaded food trays over our heads, not a pleasant experience. The waiter forgot to add bread to our take out order, The food itself was excellent.

    Palm Sunday dinner was just outstanding. I ordered the chicken and yellow rice and it was cooked to perfection. My husband had the steak and was well pleased. Post hurricanes, they had to do an entire remodel of the St. Armands's location. It is beautiful. We also think the new kitchens also bring a higher level of quality to the menu. The new AC's are super cool. Great job! We thanked the manager as well.
