Seafood staples at Spanish-Cuban stalwart Columbia include Shrimp Salteado and Snapper
Alicante.
From the restaurant's website:
"The Hernandez Gonzmart family has
been making restaurant history since 1905 when they opened their
landmark Columbia Restaurant in Tampa's Historic Ybor City, which today
is Florida's oldest restaurant, and the world's largest Spanish
restaurant. Today, fourth and fifth generation family members work hard
to preserve the family's legacy that their great-grandfather Casimiro
Hernandez Sr. created over 100 years ago when he opened the Columbia as a
corner café frequented by local cigar workers."
Kids' menu. Full bar. Serving lunch and dinner daily.
"Nearly all the recipes are family treasures, and though they're
famous for the black bean soup, we prefer the Spanish bean soup, a meal
in a bowl with garbanzos, smoked ham, chorizo and potatoes in ham stock.
And don't pass up the 1905 salad, a generous serving of lettuce, ham,
Swiss cheese, olives, tomatoes, Romano cheese and homemade garlic
dressing — good for sharing."
