Come have fun with us at The Columbia Café on the 4th of July! Listen to the “cool sounds” of Al “Coffee” McDaniel at the Columbia Café in Downtown Tampa on the Patio, right by the Riverwalk from 6-10 p.m.
Al’s music effectively mixes R & B, Blues, NEO-Soul, and Jazz melodies with cool modern urban beats. While you’re at it, make it a day and enjoy free admission to the Tampa Bay History Center and stay with us for a spectacular view of the fireworks at 9 p.m.
Enjoy waterfront drinks, tapas and World-Famous “1905” Salad™ with a waterfront view at The Columbia Cafe. The Columbia Cafe is inside the Tampa Bay History Center, next to the St. Pete Times Forum in Downtown Tampa.
The Columbia Café offers lunch and dinner daily with an outdoor terrace on the water, and waterfront indoor seating.
The menu has been chosen to reflect some of the traditional Spanish and Cuban dishes that have made our family restaurant famous for over 100 years. Please log on to: http://www.columbiarestaurant.com/pdfs/Cafe_Menu_feb_09.pdf

Founded in 1905 by Cuban immigrant Casimiro Hernandez, Sr., the Columbia Restaurant is Florida’s oldest restaurant and the world’s largest Spanish restaurant. Locations include the flagship restaurant in Tampa’s Historic Ybor City, St. Armands Circle in Sarasota, the Historic District in St. Augustine, The Pier in St. Petersburg, Sand Key on Clearwater Beach, Central Florida''s town of Celebration, and the Columbia Café at the Tampa Bay History Center. All Columbia Restaurants are owned and operated by 4th and 5th generation members of the founding family.
At Columbia Restaurant, we believe that two aspects of elegant dining deserve specialized attention: The preparation and serving of the cuisine and the selection of the finest wines to accompany each meal.
