A wonderful choice in the land of plastic chain eateries. Very close to hotels in the Old Town (ugh) area. Had a wide range of reasonable entrees. more

What a major disappointment, not to mention a poor return on investment! I thought I couldn't go wrong with the paella, a signature dish of this 'oldest restaurant in Florida'. The seafood was terribly overcooked. Nothing worse than rubbery shrimp and calamari. The chicken was dry. I think this food was in a big pot on a warming tray for... more

We live locally and have eaten here many times. I highly recommend a pitcher of the Sangria De cava. The fresh cuban bread they bring is deliscious, and the Palomilla skirt steak is my favorite. The atmosphere is romantic, but still casual enough to bring the kids. Occasionally I've seen the service be a bit slow, but if you order... more

We ate here on our August vacation. It was a big rip-off. The food was average, the waitress was rude and impatient, the crab-cakes and fish were fishy. At the end of the night, the waitress had added extra charges to the bill (more than $25 ) and did not at all seem surprised when we picked up on this.... more

I was also dissappointed with the Celebration location of Columbia's. I arrived there a few minutes before opening time and even though the doors were unlocked and they allowed us in I was promptly greeted with a "we can't seat you yet because we don't open until". I sat down and waited for the little hand to reach the 12... more

Columbia Restaurants can be found in several Florida citites, all serving authentic Cuban food. On my recent visit to the Celebration Columbia Resaurant to celebrate my birthday I found the food and service to be excellent (maybe a tad slow) Columbia has joined AAA to produce a "Show the Card" menu, which provides a three course meal, plus drinks without... more

We made reservations, which were cheerfully honored, and luckily, since we had two restless children, we were seated outside. The waiter was very nice, but my kids were served 15 minutes before us (not sure why this happened). So by the time they ate, and we got our entrees, the kids were climbing the walls. Then, my husband was served... more

Went here over the Easter break and once again had a fantastic experience. The black bean soup was excellent, Pompano fish was great and my husband loved his Cuban combo platter. Our waiter Stanley was excellent and was always there when we needed something. The Sangria made right at the table was very tasty. The prices are very reasonable. When... more

I was really looking forward to trying Columbia. I've heard nothing but great things about the food. I visited the Celebration location a couple nights ago for dinner with friends. The restaurant itself was very nice. We sat outside and the atmosphere was great , but it went downhill from there. The service we received was TERRIBLE. We had to... more
