Columbia Restaurant 98 St. George Street St. Augustine, Fl Tel: 904-824-3341 Email: colsaug@columbiarestaurant.com (Contact-John Pedaggi) This Florida landmark chain of restaurants was first established in Ybor City just outside of Tampa in 1905. In 1988 the St. Augustine branch located in the heart of the city opened its doors and its outdoor courtyards, 3 fountains and hundreds of hand-painted tiles make for a delightful setting. The restaurant can accommodate groups of 10-200 in private dining areas. Famous for its excellent cuisine, the restaurant has been inducted into the Nation’s Restaurant News Fine Dining Hall of Fame. It has also received the Florida Trend magazine’s Golden Spoon Award and the Epicurean Rendevouz Award for the finest 100 restaurants in Florida. Does it live up to its reputation? Well after Lily and I savored some of their dishes, all we had to say, "utterly delicious." In fact, even the Government of Spain has recognized the restaurant by awarding the "Five Forks" rating as one of the outstanding Spanish restaurants in America. That certainly sums it all up! If excellent cuisine together with a Spanish ambience is what you are seeking, be sure to check out this venue. |
