The Columbia Restaurant - a Florida tradition since 1905.
"What I enjoyed most was dining at the Columbia Restaurant (Sand
Key), a branch of the famous Cuban original in Tampa's Ybor City.
Give me Spanish bean soup with chorizos and garbanzos, and boliche
with platanos and yellow rice, and I'm a happy beacher." The
Miami Herald - July 7, 2002
Waterfront views from the inside dining room or outdoor deck and
award-winning Spanish/Cuban cuisine are the specials at the Columbia
on Clearwater Beach's Sand Key.
Whether you choose a table looking out onto the radiant blue waters
of the Intracoastal Waterway from the Mediterranean dining room,
or experience the casual atmosphere from the outdoor deck, you
can enjoy the cuisine that has consistently been voted Tampa Bay's
Favorite. Here you can satisfy your taste for fresh seafood from
the Gulf of Mexico, along with century-old family recipes like
Paella "a la Valenciana," Red Snapper "Alicante" Pompano en Papillot
and Filet Mignon "Chacho".
Sand Key is located on the West Coast of Florida, directly on the
Gulf of Mexico, and is a tropical paradise. Columbia on Sand Key
is located just steps from the beach, with two resort hotels nearby.
Sand Key is well known for shelling on the beach and fishing on
the jetty. The white sandy beaches are lined by sea oats and Florida
pine trees. This is a great place to bask in the sun, walk the
miles of beach or sit and watch a fantastic sunset.
From sunrise to sunset, the Gulf Beaches have a lot to offer visitors
of all ages. There are 28 miles of the whitest beaches for any
type of water sports you can imagine; swimming, shelling, sun bathing,
or beach volley ball. There are also many boating adventures to
explore, including deep-sea fishing, dolphin watches, snorkeling
excursions, canoeing, and parasailing.
When you are finished with your meal, take a walk along the boardwalk
that surrounds the waterfront Shoppes on Sand Key.
We invite you to visit the on-site gift shop for a selection of
unique gifts, fine cigars & accessories. And don't forget to
take home "A Taste of Columbia" with the World Famous "1905" Salad
TM Dressing, sangria mix, Cuban and American roast coffee, hot
sauce and Columbia seasoning. You'll also find a wide variety of
unique hand-made and hand painted ceramic pieces imported from
Spain.
