About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Neighborhood gem
Family-owned and operated for more than 116 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.

Join us for century-old family recipes like Paella a la Valenciana, Roast Pork a la Cubana and fresh seafood specialties.

Don't miss the Columbia’s Original “1905” Salad®, prepared with our delicious, freshly made dressing, a 100-year-old family recipe of fresh garlic, oregano, wine vinegar and Spanish extra virgin olive oil.

Be sure to sample a fine Spanish wine like Montecillo or Campillo.

Relax outdoors in our café or courtyard, or inside our Tapas Bar or Mediterranean-style dining rooms filled with hand-painted tiles and family heirlooms.

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.

    Really great service and food. The only disappointment was they asked if this was a special occasion and I wrote to tell them what it was and they never mentioned it while I was there.

    We had a truly wonderful experience at Columbia Restaurant in Celebration. From the moment we arrived, the service was warm, attentive, and professional. The historic ambiance combined with the charming Spanish décor created a unique and inviting atmosphere. The food was outstanding. We especially enjoyed the signature 1905 Salad, prepared tableside, which was fresh and flavorful. Our entrees, including the Paella a la Valenciana and the Chicken Rioja, were expertly cooked and beautifully presented. The sangria was a perfect complement to the meal—refreshing and authentically prepared. While the prices were somewhat on the higher side, the quality of the food and the overall experience justified the cost. It’s clear that great care is taken in both the preparation and presentation of each dish. What truly stood out was the attention to detail and consistency in both food and service. The staff ensured that our dining experience was seamless, and they were knowledgeable about both the menu and the restaurant’s storied history. Columbia Restaurant in Celebration is a gem that offers both quality cuisine and exceptional hospitality. We highly recommend it for anyone looking for an elevated yet comfortable dining experience.

    Bad service. Ok food. Appetizer came after entree. I sent it back but was still in the check. Check was put on the table at same time with entree, I guess dessert and coffee was not an option. Worst part, you pay via QR code and they automatically added a 20% tip. I would’ve left 1%
