Lee FogleNovember 20, 2018I travel the world and eat in some hellafine places but right here in my backyard in Tampa is the best one of all: Columbia’s, quality, Quality, QUALITY! These folks prepare the most wonderful food
I'm torn on this one. I love the Columbia in Ybor & I love the setting of This cafe. Great venue to take kids bc they can play outside while you WAIT on your food. The food is great, service is slow.
Sylvia Reynolds-BlakelyMarch 8, 2017On the River walk. Soup is delicious! Blue crab croquetta needs a remoulade:the pepper aoli helps. Gregory and Audri were wonderful! Eat at the bar you get a complimentary potato appetizer. Yum!!
Stacey MerrillJanuary 19, 2014Don't be in a hurry, esp. If sitting outside. Tortilla Espagnola is bland but large, with perfect texture & fluffiness. Good gazpacho & decent Cuban. If you like dark sweet beer try cigar city Maduro
Denny GaySeptember 1, 20181905 salad, deviled crab (Tampa tradition), and Riojianna - close to chicken parm. At some point you have to have a cuban sandwich. I take my cold, by the "normal" way is pressed.- Sheri SwammyAugust 8, 2019A great spot for lunch before or after a visit to the Tampa Bay History Center. I enjoyed the Mojo Chicken sandwich and they have a great kids' menu.
Krystle LafontaineJune 7, 2015Always great service. Best mojitos. Get the 1/2 cuban and 1/2 1905 salad! Perfect combination.
Sarah HaysDecember 13, 2011They have the best meatloaf sandwich, pretty BIG event room over looking the water and drinks you can't get at Channelside!!!! Great place!!
Kelly GoadFebruary 8, 2014The Cuban and 1905 salad were both delicious! Plantain chips were yummy, too!- Always love their 1905 salad & black bean soup!! But everything here is great!!
Connect GlobalNovember 15, 2013We love the patio and have chosen it as our Annual "DateNight" Venue! Read more
Rob SpecialeMay 13, 2013The service is good, considering how understaffed they were. The servers genuinely hustled and did their best despite being about 40% short on people.
D VolpSeptember 1, 2021Food was excellent! Waitress seemed like we were keeping her from something better!🤷🏻♀️
Amanda Van Over was here! Try the 1905 salad & sangria! Follow me on Twitter @AMANDASportsFL Read more
Sunday afternoon's on the patio Rob Foster sings live 3p-6p
- Karen EdgeNovember 9, 2013Plan on a LONG wait! Been sitting for over 20 mins. Waiting for my soup and bread before the entree. Only have 30 mins left before we have to leave for the concert.
Joseph KMarch 10, 2013Paella was not worth the time or price. Very disappointing. The tapas was excellent.
Julia ZykovaApril 8, 2014I will highly recommend to take Mojito, they prepared own syrup and add sugar-cane to the drink in hand-maded glass.Awesome service and beautiful view. Потрясающие коктейли, красивый вид и вкусная еда

"Beautiful day for brunch on the rooftop. Tortilla de patatas was yummy. Bottomless mimosas were a little pricey."
