   Everything was very good- the service, attitude of staff and help as needed..One exception, my dish was not cooked as advertised, but I was offered and served an alternative which was fine..

   We were greeted and seated immediately upon arrival. Our server (Eric) was friendly and attentive. He took our orders accurately and everything we ordered was served in a timely manner and delicious.

   Awesome authentic Spanish cuisine. Had the Paella, bean soup and the Cannelloni (Italian) Just like Yaya and Tito Juan made in Burgos.

   Either we chose to dine on a day when all seem to be off or this is how it always is. We were seated outside , as requested. However!!!! The chairs and tables are being hosed down before opening and NOT dried off . Nobody mentions it either so wet pants it is… . Food: other than the tomatoes salad everything else was off how it looked and tasted. Grouper was bland, not well cooked and the accompanying rice dry and unappealing. The Aroz con pollo Valenciana meat was ok but again on the dry side and the rice on the mushy side… be warned that shrimp al ajillo means a small pot full of hot olive oil with some dried garlic flakes in which 5 or 6 small shrimps are poached but the whole thing is super oily and has no flavor at all. The person serving at our table matched the atmosphere - unimpressive. Here’s hoping that this was just a one off and other future diners will have a better experience.

   The Columbia never disappoints us. Food is always good and our waiter Jorge is the best. We have brought visitors from out of state in the past couple of months and they were very pleased with our he atmosphere and food. A little noisy but otherwise wonderful

   Sean our waiter (& Yesenia with 1905 Salad prepatation) both did an Excellent job. Sean was knowledgeable & personable & his service was top notch. THe food was amazing & reasonably priced for what we received, and we ate on the back deck of the Sand Key Clearwater location overlooking the bay. Valet was fast & reasonable. We were given free flan (2) for our first visit to Columbia. (I’m not typically a flan guy, but this flan was superb). Sean helped us with multiple Family pictures overlooking the water from the deck & even suggested locations. Love this place & can’t wait to go back! 4-27-2025 AD Matt Leonard - Phoenix
