Amazing experience and the food so good! Loved our dinner and just the feel of the restaurant was so nice

I recently had the pleasure of dining with my favorite colleagues David & Brendan at the Columbia Restaurant in Ybor City, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warm hospitality and an inviting atmosphere. The historic charm of the restaurant, with its beautiful Spanish tile and vibrant decor, set the perfect tone for the evening. The service was exceptional. Our server was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, offering great recommendations. We started with the famous "1915 Salad," which was absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. We decided to indulge in a variety of Tapa's and it was a feast for the senses – perfectly seasoned with tender seafood, chicken, and empanadas. Every bite was incredible! The dessert, a classic "Flan," was the perfect end to the meal – creamy, sweet, and absolutely divine. The live music added a delightful touch, creating a festive, yet relaxed ambiance. Overall, the Columbia Restaurant exceeded all expectations. The combination of incredible food, attentive service, and the rich history of the place made for a dining experience that I will certainly be returning to. Highly recommend this gem in Ybor City!

Ulele never disappoints. The service was outstanding, and despite my reservation for three, they quickly accommodated our party of five with minimal wait time. The food was delicious, as always—flavorful and satisfying. Highly recommend for a great dining experience.

A much needed date night turned into the perfect evening of laughter, delicious food, and wonderful people. From our friendly hostesses, to our server Will, and also the Manager Joseph Favuzza ( among other staff that chatted and smiled with us) the positive and professional people took care of every need. We enjoyed our shrimp appetizer ( that we always get) the salmon, and the filet. The bread and salad are always a hit and absolutely the best way to wrap it up was the butter cake. FABULOUS! We’ve been patrons since the 80s and will continue to be. Thanks got a great evening!

The food is always outstanding! No matter who we take and what dish they order, everyone is always impressed with the flavors, quality and portions. Tables (not necessarily the booths) but the individual tables are very close together and noise levels can be a bit much if you are trying to have conversation. Highly recommend the Winter White warmed mulled wine for a Holiday drink that is cozy and comforting.
