   It was a strange experience for us. It took forever for our waiter to get to our table. Finally got our drink order in, then it took forever for him to come back. When he did, he took our appetizer order and then just disappeared. 15 mins later, another waiter showed up and he was pretty awesome. Food took a long time though. And it’s really loud. With the money spent at this place, you would think a manager would come by and apologize for our waiter ghosting on us. I won’t go back to this restaurant, which is unfortunate because the food is really good. But the lack of attention and noise level means our money is better spent elsewhere.

   Went there for my birthday. The waitress was amazing. Knew a lot of history about the restaurant and the food. Try the famous salad, you won’t regret it. Made fresh in front of you. Had the filet mignon- was the best steak of my life. The rice and vegetables were delicious as well. We also had the stuffed crab grouper, it was amazing. Everything had a great flavor and cooked to temp. For desert we had the flan and cafe con Leche coffee. The flan was absolutely to die for. They put a candle in it and sang happy birthday, so sweet! The coffee came with steamed milk and was also a nice finish to our meal.

   Columbia Restaurants are still one of our favorite dining destinations. This event represented their fourth location that we have visited, but our favorite remains St. Augustine. The food and service at each has been wonderful.

   Seated in the bar area, cramped and noisy. Service felt rushed and inattentive. But most importantly, food was very disappointing…didn’t live up to our expectations. Won’t be returning.

    When a reservation is made many days in advance and specifically requests outdoor seating, management should always notify the prospective patrons that there is no outdoor seating due to renovations of the covered deck. If we have known that there was no outdoor seating, we would not have selected this establishment, as it is way too noisy inside to have any type of normal conversation between four patrons. The front of the house is this establishment failed spectacularly - in addition, we also had to wait 20 minutes for a table - despite timely arriving for our reserved dining experience. Totally unacceptable, no matter what level the food and service is.

    I enjoy the place and food and service is generally very good with one exception at the St. Augustine location had a very poor meal and service. Also the price point is high, but I accept that and go anyway. Thank you.

    Our server Gabby was amazing. She was knowledgeable, attentive and really made our dining experience a pleasure. We had a table on the water, and the restaurant was fairly quiet so the ambiance was also nice. The food was as usual exceptional. We had all our favorites and the quality we have come to expect from the Columbia did not disappoint.

    The hostess was excellent and professional. The valet was good as well. The overall person who made it a decent experience was Bobby the waiter. The food was over cooked from the calamari and plantains to the Pollo Valenciana. It was disappointing. Although the 1905 salad is always a hit. The noise level was pretty high and at points I couldn’t hear the conversation with the other two people in my party.

    Tapas and desserts were absolutely delicious and spot on traditional Spanish food. Our server Olesia was absolutely fabulous with her lovely personality and attentiveness. Sangrias were flavorful and not overly sweet. All around wonderful experience.
