The Columbia Restaurant in Ybor City
opened in 1905. It's a Spanish restaurant, so of course the pitcher of sangria was excellent. First I had a wonderful black bean soup, followed by salmon with tomato and asparagus baked in parchment. Wowie, it was good. Pete had paella, also a good choice. We were surprised that the prices were so reasonable, considering the decor and the formal dress of the wait staff.
There were beautiful tiles everywhere, inside and out. The restaurant is a whole block long, and it was crowded. Our waitress told us the kitchen is on the far end of the building from where we were eating, and last week, on a not too busy night, one waitress wore a pedometer and she walked over five miles on her shift.
We will certainly go to this restaurant again. Maybe this week.
