Columbia Restaurant

This was a tough one: Place: the dining rooms are beautiful, inspired by Hispanic style, with a different environment. Delightful (5 stars) Service: the waitress and the manager did their best, very helpful in all the requirements we had (5 stars) Food: the food here was ok. I would love to say that it was an unforgettable experience, but it was not. you can find the same food quality at half of the price (3 stars) Price: not too pricey, but definitely not cheap. in my opinion, you are not getting for what you are paying (3 stars) Overall, it was a pleasant experience. We had a good time with friends and enjoyed it. I’m not sure if I would return, but I haven’t ruled it out yet. I will probably give it another chance.

Tonight's dinner experience was hands down the best I think my husband and I have ever had! The service was absolutely incredible and the food was too! Our waitress (Danica Roberts) was amazing throughout the entire meal. When she packaged our leftovers, she topped off our soup so we'd have a full bowl and even gave us fresh bread because she said we couldn't have soup without bread. She filled the bottom of the to-go dish for our leftover dessert with extra white chocolate sauce so the bread pudding wouldn't dry out. She even showed us pictures from her wedding! (We got close lol) During the dinner, we had 2 different managers stop by to ask about our experience. I don't mean the typical "how is everything?" and then walk away. No, these were full on conversations! One even invited us to join the staff on a trip to the Bahamas! I have never experienced anything like this. It will be very hard to top this service anywhere. I'm not even doing it justice in this post. Every detail was perfect and it was obvious they genuinely care about their customers.

Delicious lunch. We had reservations as this is a very popular restaurant and it’s a holiday week. We were promptly seated and the wait staff was attentive even though the place was packed. Everyone in our large party enjoyed their meal. I forgot to take a photo but they had an incredible pumpkin flan - don’t know if it’s just during the holidays. Their table side sangria was very refreshing - really glad we ordered it.

Thank you Gina for absolutely outstanding service. Wonderful food recommendations. Atmospheres absolutely beautiful and romantic. Front desk was so friendly the lady gave us great seats. What was the pleasure spending my birthday there. The food is very authentic and unique. My favorite has to be the bread and the flan dessert .

Good food. I ate at the bar and he was excellent. He let me finish my soup before bringing the main course and he didn't rush me. My meal was good. The steak wasn't over cooked even though that was my fear since he didn't ask me how I wanted it. The rice was tasty. My soup was hot and very good. The bread was warm and delectable. Overall a good restaurant, just a little pricey.

Iconic restaurant bustling with happy tourists in the heart of historic Saint Augustine. Beautiful surroundings and wonderful service. The menu is VERY detailed. Order a sangria pitcher (prepared tableside) and take your time with the menu. We enjoyed their classic salad, Cuban sandwich, and black bean soup. All delightful! Highly recommended!
