Regina TuttleAugust 18, 2017The crab cakes, 1905 Salad, Bread Pudding, Crusty Bread, Garbanzo Soup, Snapper, and everything else on there menu! YOU CAN'T GO WRONG!! And there atmosphere is the icing on the cake...Upvoted Mar 25
Tony MNovember 29, 2014Great spot for couples. Split a 1905 salad for an appetizer & a pitcher of sparkling cava sangria. Enjoy fresh baked Cuban bread with your meal. Cannot go wrong with any item from the menu. A must do.
Sean DarnellMay 13, 2014Were the Mojitos better out of the pitcher? No, but a pitcher with bread and 3 tapas a shot espresso and flan to end it all is a good $35/person well spent and relaxing 2 hours.

Tony MorelliOctober 14, 2020Very nice setting, food was very good (I had 1/2 chicken and rice, Umm good), and staff is friendly and they did a good job with our table of 15. You should enjoy!
Jason FitzgeraldSeptember 11, 2023Absolutely love this place! Only thing that’s missing is my late beautiful wife Heather who passed one year from breast cancer. She was my world, and my everything. We used to eat together here a lot.
Jessie GonzalezDecember 30, 2016The palomilla was wonderful!! The paella was really nice but not enough for more than one person. Really nice place for a lunch.
Brandy SawyerJune 3, 2013We really enjoyed the setting of this restaurant. I felt like I was going back in time. The food was wonderful and very tasty. Friendly staff and the restaurant was very clean.
Wes BechtelJanuary 5, 2015All the tips tell you how I get the 1905 salad. Listen to all the tips. And good news: when you get home and want another salad, the recipe is on their webpage!
Jodys CowdinSeptember 15, 2015Service was great...ask for Amber. Bacon wrapped shrimp was great. Pasta was great. Bread and sangria was delish! Churros were delicious. Just don't get the coffee.
Lauren BatesNovember 30, 2019Great for dinner and drinks, especially if you're just visiting the area. Get a pitcher of sangria and enjoy some Spanish food.
Trevor GiordanoJuly 15, 2017Shrimp salteado was decent. Maybe I expected more flavor. Others had the Cuban sandwich which was wonderful. The Cuban bread they served before hand was on point.
Paula FreireMay 22, 2014Try the Fideua with Mariscos. Even if it's not like the famous spanish dish (Columbia's is more like Seafood pasta with tomaro sauce), it's delicious!
Dustin TruaxFebruary 22, 2015The 1905 salad with grilled chicken is amazing. Ask for Brad as your server, he has a great personality. Overall, this place is fabulous.
Jeff NafzigerJune 3, 2016This place was beautiful & even more importantly the food was great. I had their special salad and Cuban sandwich which were both delicious.
Jim BSeptember 20, 2012Once a year in September they have 1905 day. All meals are the price they were in 1905. $2.95 for your choice of three meals. Beef - Chicken or Fish. Drinks are .05 cents. Keep checking for the date.
Nancy MontalbanoSeptember 26, 2016Excellent menu. I don't think there are any bad choices. Gotta have the famous 1905 salad. The restaurant has beautiful Spanish decor.
John GarciaNovember 30, 2014If you can, make a reservation ahead of time. Can be packed! Always good food! Never fails!
Mallory CooneyJanuary 8, 2015Great cuban food, and we are from the land of cuban food. Jumping on the 1905 Salad bandwagon, it was fabulous!
Don AndersonJanuary 28, 2016Everything is good! The table side sangria is amazing and the table side salad is delicious! Great service and great food.
Jason SchexnayderApril 2, 2013Like everyone else said, the 1905 salad is awesome. Try a few of their drinks as well. Can't really go wrong with anything here. Great food.
Dena TutenMay 9, 2012This is my next "gotta go to" restaurant! For authentic Cuban food, this is unsurpassed. I've been to the one in Ybor City when I was growing up. Beautiful place!
Alexandre MunhozJuly 19, 2018The restaurant is decorated in a very nice Andaluz style. Good seafood and rice plates. The paella is just ok and it can take a while..
Keith UrtelJuly 6, 2012Sangria is outstanding - a must have, 1905 salad is awesome and guava carmita is a fabulous dessert!
Mary GirifalcoMarch 23, 2013Order the white chocolate bread pudding! Omg! Nothing like u would expect. Heaven in ur mouth
Ozgurduygu SürekJuly 17, 2016Ambiance is good,love here and food,server is also good, will come again
Denise FerraraJuly 4, 2015Columbia Tampa St Pete Orlando Sand Key are all phenomenal. This is the first time I've been disappointed by their food; both our dinners were bland. The lower rating for this location is accurate.
Shannon DanekOctober 1, 2018Amazing experience coming here. Food, sangria, service, and ambiance was all incredible.
John ObeidinJuly 15, 2012Seafood Paella, stuffed grouper, 1905 salad and the watermelon margarita all were fantastic.

- Amanda AndersonOctober 27, 2015Cuban sandwich and 1905 salad is amazing! I go every time I'm in St. Augustine.
Dustin JohnstonSeptember 2, 2012The Sangria de Cava 1905 salad and the original cuban sandwich split up between two people is a lunch to be remembered.
Ted TrentlerJuly 6, 2015It was good but both my wife and I agreed that the food seemed a little bit more flavorful at the Tampa Bay locations
Nicola HillAugust 14, 2011The Gazpacho Andaluz is very refreshing. The croquetas de langosta were delicious although the meat could have been more tender and i think I got some b
Rachel HentgesJune 10, 2019Definitely tourist trap-y but that doesn’t mean the food isn’t great. Get some sangria, a Cuban sandwich and a 1905 salad and you’ll be the happiest.
Bob And Joan HansenJuly 12, 2015The original salad is incredible. They make it for you right at your table.
Cynthia PerezNovember 8, 2013The Sangria and the Palomilla steak are a must have! Tonya our waitress was great
Linda MullinsMarch 20, 2012The house specialy salad called the "1905 Salad" is excellent. You can buy their salad dressing in their gift shop.
Natalya PriceSeptember 15, 20131905 salad and mojitos are great. Tapas were quiet AWEFUL. We couldn't eat the variety we had ordered.
Natalie McCorristonAugust 13, 20131905 salad was amazing. The sangria and key lime pie were also delicious
Todd WhiteAugust 10, 2014sangria is amazing. You have to have a Cuban sandwich if you haven't had one here before.
Diane Holmes-CurticeApril 17, 2012The Scallops Casimaro was delicious, but the white chocolate bread pudding was worth the trip alone.
