    Everything was perfect for our lunch at The Columbia but the weather—we asked for outdoor seating and a cold wind started just as our food arrived. But the sangria made at the table with fresh fruit and wine was excellent, as was all of the food. Great staff, from the hostess to the wait staff to the parking valet. We’ve now been to all the Columbia restaurants and they do it right! Love their food!

    Just when I thought Selva UTC could not impress me more than they have, they add new items to their menu!!! The sauce with their new shrimp cocktail is amazing!! The flavors are so unique you will still be talking about it days later. Trust me! Oh! It wait till you see the presentation. Well done Selva! We love their consistency. We are always warmly greeted. Justin and Michelle and Mario make our evening perfect from the minute we walk through the door. No detail is left out. The food is consistently amazing perfectly pictured plating and the most imaginative combo of flavors. Great cocktails and wines. This place is the darling of the UTC area.
