- CCynthiaFree to repurpose •3 reviews5.0Dined todayWe went to celebrate a special occasion in our family. We chose to see the flamenco dance show which was excellent. Our waiter was exceptional. He offered suggestions about meal choices and wine choices an was spot on with both. Take time to read the menu with its history and traditions. Such a memorable dining experience for our family.More infoColumbia Restaurant - Ybor CityPrice: Expensive• Spanish• Tampa•4.7

- SsaraTampa / Central Florida West •7 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoI go there just for the Farm to the Table sandwich. It's a little overpriced in my opinion but it is worth every penny. I love their fresh cut fries with olive tempade. Everything is always fresh. It is generally pretty loud, especially when really busy but I think it's just the set up of the restaurant. The service personnel are always pretty nice.More infoPsomiPrice: Moderate• Greek• Tampa•4.8
