About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for scenic views
  • Great for outdoor dining
Waterfront dining at its finest! Family-owned and operated for 115 years, Columbia has earned acclaim for its old-world charm and award-winning Spanish/Cuban cuisine. Casual attire is fine, but we don’t allow sleeveless shirts on men in the dining room. Choose a table looking out onto the radiant blue waters of the Intracoastal Waterway from the Mediterranean dining room, or experience the casual atmosphere from our outdoor deck on the water. Join us for century-old family recipes like Paella a la Valenciana, Roast Pork a la Cubana and fresh seafood specialties. Sample a fine Spanish wine like Montecillo or Campillo. We are a sister to the Columbia in Tampa's Ybor City, founded in 1905. Children's menu available. Open 365 days a year, including all holidays.

    Great meal. Grouper well prepared and delicious. Gazpacho really good, too. Key Lime Pie was a great closer. Attentive, professional service. Very convenient to Marriott Sand Key but plenty of parking, too. We’ll return when we come back to Sand Key.

    Food & atmosphere were excellent. Great dining experience. Stuffed mushrooms for appetizer, grouper & pompano fish were our special choices for entrees.

    The service and food were excellent! The location and views were beautiful. It was a bit noisy inside, making it somewhat difficult to chat across the table, though I’m not sure how that could be improved. Overall, we had a fantastic meal. The Grouper, Snapper, and Filet Mignon were all delicious. Desserts were excellent, and the Key Lime Pie was absolutely amazing! Ending dinner with a Cuban Coffee was perfect.

    We come every year as part of an annual spring training vacation with friends. This year we were so lucky to get Jorge as our waiter again (same as last year). He is absolutely the best! The food was excellent, as always, but Jorge’s service is impeccable.
