What a fantastic restaurant with great table side service. The 1905 Salad was delicious and so was the Grouper Jimmy. Would highly recommend this place. I am visiting from Detroit and will definitely come back.

Never had Cuban food before but was pleasantly surprised. House salad was amazing as was my entree. Ambience and staff was great as well.

I've been going to this restaurant for 30 years... at one point I was let down, but I gave it another try a few weeks ago.OMG! The Stuffed Piquillo Pepper appetizer is AMAZING! I used the bread and turned the appetizer into a sandwich. DO IT!Joe and Giuseppe at the bar were phenomenal beyond words. They took such good care of my husband and me...I can't wait to go again. Gracias Casa Columbia!!!

We visit the Columbia restaurant in Ybor City on a regular basis and always have a fantastic experience. There are a variety of gluten free options and they are served on a special blue plate. They change gloves and ensure the food is safe. They have a bag of plantain chips available (in lieu of Cuban bread) as a starter. John, the amazing manager, always recognizes our family and ensures everything goes well with our meal and checks on us quite a few times during our visit. I am so thankful we have a delicious place to eat where we feel safe. The restaurant has been there since 1905 and is a staple in Tampa and also has other locations.Vegetarian options: 1905 salad can be made without ham and is delicious vegetarian option that I love.Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free and vegetarian options.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly with a kid menu.

Love the Columbia! Great food, service and atmosphere are historic and good. We were in a back room that was a little Echoey and hard to talk in. Amazing Cuban restaurant!
