One of my favorites - from tableside made sangria to their homebaked cuban bread, everything's wonderful and they take reservations - can't go wrong overlooking the intercoastal waterways too
Ariana VoyerMarch 23, 2018Plenty of outdoor seating on the water. 1905 salad, Cuban sandwich, empanadas and sangria are the way to go. Skip the Mojitos and fish version of the Cuban.
Aishwarya RajDecember 25, 2014Delicious food. Can be a bit pricey but portions are large, and you can't beat a restaurant that gives individual loaves of bread while you wait for your entree. Best of all- very vegetarian friendly!- Clint SmithJune 17, 2016Gem of a restaurant! 1905 salad and cuban sandwich with soup every time. The iced tea is perfect. The water is fantastic. the bread is the best you can get. Staff is amazing.
mark cobbJanuary 9, 2022Beautiful views of water. Food always amazing. 1905 salad made table side. Best Cuban sandwich ever! Must must go there but use valet, parking sucks!
NataliyaDecember 5, 2015What a great restaurant! Very good Spanish food! We went there 2 weeks after the trip to Spain and Columbia brought us back to Sevilla :)
Robin SAugust 2, 2013Of course, my mother ordered the 1905 salad. No salad compares. So simple, yet delectable. I had the paella vegetariana. An insanely huge lunch portion. Delish! Views to die for and service superb!
Richard RevillaJuly 10, 2021Very large and multiple rooms. This is a classic not to be missed when in Clearwater. Valet Parking available.- Tanner ShamrockAugust 30, 2014Beautiful location, awesome Cuban food, palomilla, megh to the sangria and pisco sour (I know, it's Peruvian). Love this place here and in St. Augustine.
Matt CasonNovember 19, 2013Amazing simply said. I go here every time I am in the area. You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu and the view of the water just makes it even better.
Sasha NaomiJuly 22, 2013Ask for a window seat! You get the view without the bugs or humidity. The 1905 salad is amazing!! Portions (in general) are very shareable
Jennifer HuffmanSeptember 28, 2017Loved the sangria, 1905 salad and Cuban sandwich. Perfect trifecta! Nice change of pace from fried fish and French fries.
Marlon AlaanAugust 27, 2016Save room for dessert or come here for dessert. Their guava cheese turnover is excellent! 😋
On the waterfront. Get their special house salad. Warm crusty bread. Seafood cannelloni with lobster and shrimp. Churro with caramel, guava and chocolate sauces.
Melissa SummersOctober 29, 2016Add this to your bucket list. Simply the best restaurant in have ever been to. Great job Columbia restaurant!!!!@
Nicole BransonJanuary 26, 2012This is one of my favorite places to go when I want a great meal, drinks, and laughter. I love every dish there. The atmosphere is awesome and the view is amazing!- Professor Twain 🚬🚬⚾⚾December 29, 2013While this location does not have the history of the original Columbia in Ybor, the food is just as good and the view by the water is spectacular.
David CraigNovember 21, 2018Had the 1905 salad made to order at the table. Super quality and attentive staff. The atmosphere was vert romantic.
Leonard C..August 22, 2010Its been 10 years I been in that place,I had the El Combo de Cuba (A Cuban feast of Roast Pork, Boliche, platanos, Empanada de Picadillo, black beans and yellow rice). That was delicious too bad the t
DeWayne EndsleyOctober 5, 2013Great place to have a Cuban sandwich and overlook the waterway. You can also bring your puppy as they are pet friendly.
Natalya GoncharovaMarch 7, 2016Amazing 1900 salad! Cuban coffee is a must try- rich, velvety.....amazing with milk.
Key lime pie and guava turnover are phenomenal. Only took one pic cause key lime pie was already eaten.
Mark AshbaughMay 7, 2015Everything! It's worth it, for what you pay for is a good portion of food...must do if your here in Clearwater beach
Candace SchaeferJanuary 27, 2016Amazing food! I had the pollo manchego which was absolutely delicious. You get what you pay for here.
Lili MarieFebruary 18, 2013I was very dissatisfied w/the food & service. The food was so salty I had to stop eating it. The salad, 1904 was wonderful. Waitstaff forgot many of our orders. I was so looking forward to good Cuban.
Erica YoungSeptember 3, 2011Finally! A place on the beach with wonderful food, drinks, and service. Everything we have tried has been great so far :)
Maggie LoveSeptember 18, 2014Black bean soup and the 1905 salad are phenomenal. I crave them all the time!- MiKe McDonoughMay 8, 2011Try the Sangria De Cava - Very #fruity, #refreshing. Bring a camera, take a picture, they'll hold the #brandy pour longer for you to "take the photo"!
Patti GeigerMarch 20, 2013Great restaurant that cares about their customers. Portions are big. Tapas is excellent. Ask for Edgar!
- Ernie SasquatchNovember 15, 2014Paella to die for Bread awesome Salads are crazy good. Make reservations
Dr Michael LangeOctober 19, 2014you wont get a bad meal! everything is excellent and superb service.
James ChurchApril 3, 2013Best snapper I have ever had. Will be back soon. Great service and great food.
Isa BellaNovember 6, 2017Food is delicious but we had a big confusion with the payment they didn’t charge the tip we gave (they charged more) and today checking well the bill there are many things that don’t fit with the bill
LiquiddagSeptember 4, 2012Original "1905" salad = excellent. 10/10 restaurant, best I've tried in Indian Rocks
Consistently disappointing service and cranky staff, but great food.
Peter SestiMarch 26, 2013Long wait if you don't have a reservation, also if your quiet and patient, you will be overlooked
