Columbia Restaurant Review

: This cousin of the landmark Columbia restaurant in Tampa's Ybor City is located strategically on St. Armands Circle where trendy and upscale shops beckon tourists and residents alike. It's actually a little surprising to find a respite of old-world cuisine just feet from the latest Scandinavian designed furniture or the newest fashions. Still, the food is what you'd expect from a Columbia restaurant---choices of seafood and steak with the chicken and yellow rice a signature favorite. The 1905 Salad (so named in honor of the inaugural year) is still prepared tableside.

This is Cuban food as good as you can get outside of Miami or Havana. The best thing about this place is that it sits on one of the most beautiful pieces of real estate in the US.....St. Armand's Circle. People watching couldn't be better as people from all over the world travel to this exquisite spot.
