   We have enjoyed dining at the Columbia for well over 30 years. We have dined at every one of their location locations throughout Florida multiple times. The one in Ybor City is particularly special. I do regret that they no longer have valet parking and parking is distant and dangerous to get to after dark. After having made our reservation well in advance, we still did not get to sit in the area we wanted to, and had to wait a very long time, but we enjoyed our experience nonetheless.

   The Columbia - Ybor City is a Family Tradition. My grandfather, took my mother and father. Now I take family and friends to carry on the Tradition. Our meal was perfect. Our service from Frank was the best. And 1905 salad is a national treasure. Enjoy the finest food that Florida has to offer. Kevin Brooks Cleveland, TN

    My wife and I have been to the Columbia outside the Amalie Arena. For her birthday she wanted to visit the Columbia in Ybor City. From the moment we walked in the door we both were super impressed. All of the staff were really top notch. Our server explained the Sangria that he made at our table. It was the best. The food was excellent. We each had the Cuban sandwich and black bean soup. There was enough that we could actually take half of our sandwich home to have for dinner. All and all our visit exceeded our expectations. My wife was surprised with a beautiful dessert with a candle in it that our server brought to the table. We will be excited to come to this restaurant again and can’t wait to invite family and friends.  it is something that we really want everyone to experience. Thank you.
