Highly recommend! Had my sisters bridal shower here and the server was very attentive to our party. Food is delicious as always. I had the paella Español and the rice was perfectly cooked and delicious. Have always heard great things about this place and I finally understand why. Ill definitely be back. Also a perfect location with all the shops nearby.

Restaurant is great. I had the palomilla steak which was really tasty and soft. Loved the flavor. The soup didn’t taste as good (someone who comes from Spain tasted it). The mushrooms were great! Service was good, waitress was nice. They give you warm bread and butter. Loved the indoor experience, decorations, everything looks amazing! Must try in St Augustine!

Fantastic atmosphere, great menu selections. Of course the bread and salad were top notch. We ordered their version of country fried steak, and I ordered the Filet, which I unfortunately had to send back for being over cooked. We finished with a slice of Key lime pie.Table side sangria and their limited craft beer selection, but this porter was very good.

A wonderful experience with Florida’s oldest restaurant established in 1905, The cuban/Spanish restaurant is most certainly the best restaurant in St. Augustine. Sangria was prepared at the table, and it is good. The food has a unique taste with there aged balsamic vinegar, so delicious. If you wan to try a sample I recommend the La Cubana Completè. I recommend to get reservations at least a day prior. All in all I highly suggest eating here.

This was the second visit for my husband and I. We havent been here since 2018 but back to Saint Augustine several times. The staff was great, the manager was very sweet after I got his attention for something, and the food was delicious. I tried the mahi mahi which was very delicious. It is definitely seasoned lightly as they have it listed. The rice has citrus-y flavor so just be prepared for a new taste on the taste buds. My husband couldnt remember what he had back in 2018. When I looked up an old review, I was able to pull up a picture of what he had and when we showed our awesome server, she knew exactly what it was. He loved it! We tried flan which is super nice and sweet to the taste. Our server was awesome and attentive. I believe her name was Carla.

Food was good for the price. The restaurant serves Cuban, Spanish, some Mexican and some mixtures. The atmosphere was great. The waiters singing Happy birthday in Spanish off beat and with an American accent was hilarious 😂.

We were here 20 years ago. Returned tonight for the first time. We enjoyed our meal. The waitress and the waitress-in-waiting were kept busy with the area they covered. They did a good job. Missed the live singing.

Server was so professional, personable, attentive, and pleasant. Food was great. Atmosphere perfect.

I mean seriously what can I say about this gem that will describe it adequately. The atmosphere is amazing they were very accommodating to our dog. The food is unbelievably good. Probably the best crab cake I have ever eaten. The have seafood and pork and rice and black beans. Everything we tried was delicious. I cant recommend this place enough. Really a top notch experience that cant be missed!

Great food and atmosphere! The interior courtyard was just beautiful. As far as food goes, I recommend El Combo de Cuba, as it allows you to try many different Cuban dishes. Also, for dessert, you have to get the white chocolate bread pudding. Its super yummy, and its also a really big portion, so share it with the table. All in all, I had a great experience! Oh yeah, and you definitely want to make a reservation, even for lunch because its super popular and fills up fast!

Just had a lovely dinner with my husband and as usual excellent food! I had the chicken manchego and my hubby had Ropa Vieja. Both excellent & the black beans with rice were to die 4🤗Our server Kerry was amazing and so friendly and attentive….thank you again, we totally enjoyed everything and we will be back soon!

We took the whole family here on our vacation and we had to keep changing the reservation because we werent sure when we would want to come. But the decor was beautiful. The food was delicious. I had ropa vieja and key lime pie. We really enjoyed it.

We made a reservation at what we thought the dining room with table cloth because of the birthday celebration we had but when we got there we were given seats at what felt like a cafe style.We did not fuss about it and we just made sure we enjoyed the evening.The food was good. The drinks not so good as they were drenched with simple syrup (wayy too sweet)

This is one of the best restaurants in St. Augustine. A little pricey but always worth the cost and portions are great with entrees. The building itself is beautiful, decorated well and each floor has a different feel/style. Service is great. Simply an awesome place for lunch and dinner; we always have a wonderful experience here. The food is beyond delicious!

Food was fantastic, service was exceptional and no long wait for food. Make a reservation and dont walk up expecting to get in. Tables are nicely spread out and felt comfortable in the restaurant. When the table next to us left, they used a strong disinfectant and was nice to see them open and clean

Absolutely beautiful restaurant with great service. We went on a holiday weekend. Thankfully we made reservations because they were fully booked that night. The food was absolutely delicious! Everything we had was really good even the drinks (Margarita & Red Sangria) I like that the atmosphere allows for one to dress up or dress casually. It is not really a place that I would take my small kids to. If they were a bit older (10+) then I would. Regardless, it was perfect for me and my hubbys date night for his birthday. Overall, it was a great experience. We want to go back soon to try more dishes.

Just an excellent relaxing meal. Service was just right. They have a great shop you can purchase all sorts of pottery items as well.

Beautiful restaurant. Elegant setting. Intense attention to detail. Great service. Did I already say beautiful restaurant? Just a short walk from Castillo de San Marcos and tucked into a bustling tourist quarter but definitely worth a stop. Really thought the Cubano sandwich would be a standard setting item after the restaurant haven been open for 105 years but it was mediocre at best, and was fairly priced. There may be better places to get a Cubano but you wont find a prettier place to eat it anywhere. Key Lime pie was as authentic a key lime pie as you will find anywhere. It exceeded my expectations after eating the Cubano.

Great place. Super nice. Great service, good food. Sangria and dessert

First time coming to this restaurant and didn’t disappoint. I had a lovely birthday dinner with my husband. The food and service was great!

Excellent food and great service. We tried a bit of many things and all was delicious. The chicken was out of this world!

My fiancé and I were recommended Columbia Restaurant and decided we had to go. The staff was very friendly, the restaurant was clean and beautiful, and best of all the food was excellent. We will definitely return!

This place is wonderful. It is busy but the food is great as well as the service. Melanie waited on us and did a very good job answering my questions and waiting on all her customers. Shes a keeper. I lived in Spain and the bread/butter was exactly correct for matching Spanish bread. Great job on the paella too

While in St. Augustine on a spur of the moment trip, the host staff went above and beyond to get our large party of 8 a reservation for the same day on a Saturday! The food was good, bread was tremendous and the sangria was a favorite if you love very dry red wine. Grilled Mahi sandwhich was an excellent choice and the server was on top of it all. Good experience..

Not my favorite, but I know the Columbia has a large fan following. It’s also a big hit with tourists visiting St. Augustine. The meal starts off with warm fresh bread delivered to the table. The 1905 salad is a nice salad, with table side service and makes a full meal in itself. The sangria, also made table side, was very sweet, so if sweet wines are your jam, you’ll love it. The house-made red wine was not my taste, but it wasn’t awful. The majority of the entree for me are muddled and bland. So I stick to the 1905 salad and the black beans.

The Columbia restaurant is a casual yet fine dining experience. The food is always enjoyable. I especially enjoy their soups and their salads. I did feel a little rushed at this establishment as the hostess was asking us how long we thought that we would be eating as there was someone else needing the table later on. Also some of our seats were covered in crumbs which was no big deal. In the end, the food was great, the service was wonderful and we all had a good time.

Fantastic! Would highly recommend! The paella was worth the wait, the cocktails were so tasty, the bread with their butter is heavenly, and be sure to save room for the churros!!! Will definitely be back next time we are in town.

This place is always superb! Been here several times and have never been disappointed. Everything I have ever tried on the menu was very delicious. Of course the hot cuban bread with salted butter is awesome. The 1905 salad with their special salad dressing is exceptional. We will definitely be back here again.

Wonderfully delicious. Our service was excellent, Jonah took great care of us and helped out with suggestions on appetizers for the table and dinner. The sangria is the absolute best, and they make it table side. We will definitely be back again.

Had a amazing time. Stella was our waitress and she made our visit so wonderful and pleasant. Kept my drink full never having to ask to refill. Which is huge for me. She was very educated regarding the history of the restaurant. She created the perfectly balanced 1905 salad. She was polite and well differently come back.

Wow, so good! We came here for lunch and Jason our server was awesome. First of all, we were outside and he helped us get our table out of the sun. Second, he was very friendly and quick. We had the famous 1905 salad, of course, and it was amazing. Calimari was great too. Loved the ambiance. Cant wait to come back!

Food was amazing, fresh made tableside Sangria ! Wait staff was very knowledgeable of the food and menu, very helpful.The restaurant was super clean and inviting, felt like I was in Cuba in the 1920s!Highly recommend giving them a try of youre in the area and want some great Cuban food.I chose the Cuban combo, my wife had the Cuban sandwich and well definitely be coming back.....

Beautiful restaurant. Service was excellent!

Outstanding service, delicious food, in a great atmosphere. If youre celebrating something very special make reservations a week in advance! The champagne sangria was divine!!!

Delicious. All of it! Nuf said. Nay and Brittany rocked as our servers. We had a table of 29 people and they didnt skip a beat. This place offers a true dining experience.

Very unique restaurant with an interesting history. Food was definitely good, but comes at a hefty price. Lunch is average of about $18 a person. If you like Cuban food then this is your place.

Nice establishment. The restaurant is popular so advanced reservations are suggested, otherwise you can sit at the bar and have choice of the full menu. The food was great and so were the drinks. Inside and out are beautiful and very picturesque. I highly recommend to visit when in st. Augustine

The experience is really good. But the food is awfully bad so sorry to say this though. Service was good.

The best wait staff. Very professional. The food was excellent. Thank you

Food was good, if not a little bland. Columbia hot sauce made that better.The building is old, so it has the characteristics, including the odor which is strong.Service was fantastic.

The ambiance and staff was wonderful and the only good part of the meal. It is a lovely amazing location. Staff very friendly and helpful.The food was bland and boring at best. We went in for a Cubano as I was having a craving. Their standard one was not that great, underwhelming flavor, stale bread, and just seemed like the wrong toppings. My SO ordered Mahi Mahi Cuban sandwich but it had little to no flavor and it was just mahi and little bit of mustard on cuban bread. Very disappointed for 75$ lunch.

The Columbia has been a favorite spot of mine over the years. They start you off with warm Cuban bread and butter which is heavenly. I absolutely love the elegant atmosphere here and the Cuban food is simply, amazing. I had the Jesse Gonzalez which was jumbo shrimp stuffed with crab meat served with a side of yellow rice & roasted veggies which was to die for! We ended dinner with the white chocolate bread pudding which is SO good and made with white chocolate, Cuban bread, and Topped with a rich Bacardi rum sauce. Never disappointed when I leave here, the customer service/friendliness could improve, however.

Fantastic service and great atmosphere! Enjoyed sitting next to the fountain in a beautiful atrium setting while sipping on their delicious white sangria. The gazpacho and traditional salad are incredible! The historic building is beautiful. This establishment has withstood the test of time and will continue to do so. Kudos to the management and staff!

Amazing authentic food have been here several times and have never been disappointed! Great service daily off menu specials. Sangrias are amazing. Would recommend reservations especially during busy season. Will definitely go again.

The restaurant was beautifully decorated with a great atmosphere. Me and my date had lunch, and the food is very good. My only complaint was it took forever to get the food to our table after we ordered. The staff was very friendly and very accommodating but it seemed like the staff was having to multitask in several areas. I would definitely try the restaurant again and hopefully next time the service will not be so slow.

Celebrated my weddings 6th monthsary... it was already fully booked but the host gave us a table when my husband told him that we have came from North Carolina and I would not want to go to any place to eat than in Columbia Restaurant.

Went all out here the other night and it was a fantastic evening. I had the “great bambino” steak (supposedly the same one Babe Ruth would order back in the 20’s) and it was cooked to perfection, roasted potatoes had a very unique flavor and were really good too! Tried both the sangria and the mojito and we ended with the key lime pie and bread pudding. Def a spot to get into when you are in St. Augustine.

Make sure to book reservations in advance. Always a great dining experience even for lunch.

This restaurant continues to be one of my favorite destinations in Old Town. I look forward to visiting every time its planned, and I never leave disappointed. It is truly a Florida treasure.

This weekend we had lunch at Columbia Restaurant and from our arrival to our departure we had a great time. The service at the reception was quick and we said our reservation at the ideal time for lunch and rest after our walk through the historic center of the city. The French bread they serve at the entrance is wonderful, I recommend not to miss it!! Delicious starter and main course and exactly at the point we wanted with unparalleled flavor. The attendant at our table was very friendly and attentive all the time, making sure everything was ok. Dessert came quickly and delicious. It was a special and very pleasant afternoon. I highly recommend having lunch at this location and seeing every detail of its architecture. Its a beautiful restaurant with excellent service. Going to Saint Agostini you cannot miss lunch or dinner there. Congratulations to the entire team that makes this restaurant have an excellent amount of service, food and look.

Everytime when I visit St Augustine I will definitely come here because the seafood paella. I like this place a lot however every time the service is not that good. First I have a lady be my server after she took the drink order then she disappeared. Finally after long wait there is a gentleman be my service. Really don’t know what is going on. Since you guys are famous and consider as a upscale chain restaurant, hopefully the service part will be better than other small restaurants. Anyway food is delicious and definitely will be back.

Place was crazy busy. Tends to be the norm nowadays. But the Cuban Sammy is awesome. Cheers

The menu was so wonderful. Once I made up my mind what I wanted, I turned the page and something else caught my attention. I settled on the 1905 salad with shrimp al ajillo. It was so good!!!!!

For our *anniversary we celebrated with dinner at the Columbia. Even as we had reservations, busy Father’s Day, there was a short wait (spent in the gift shop) At table we ordered drinks - the 1905 martini, paired with their fresh “legendary” 1905 salad which is made tableside, was a wonderful start. It was Father’s Day with a special being filet mignon dinner, which my husband ordered. It was cooked perfect and accompanied by a generous bowl of fresh sautéed vegetables. I had their Red Snapper a la Rusa. It was fresh & delicious. Breaded & grilled, topped with a boiled egg crumble on yellow rice. One of their classic dishes. The staff signed a Columbia celebratory card for our anniversary that accompanied our Flan.*We found this restaurant 30 years ago on a trip and have visited each time we come back to St Augustine. They have never disappointed & we hope to return soon!

Nay is the best waitress anywhere. Paella was delicious as was the guava turnover.

Disappointed in the service. Ordered pick up, and told 15 minutes, it was more like 30 and the parking was ridiculous this at around 2pm. When food was delivered to our car, I asked were they sure that everything was there? As it would be 20 to where we were staying,. He assured me it was all there, paid cash with a tip! This was our Anniversary dinner and gift from our grown children. When we got back to our rental, ready to eat, the bread smelled so good! Everything was there except the grilled shrimp for my 1905 salad, which is all I ordered. Paid 18.00 dollars for lettuce, tomatoes, olives and a little cheese. Called back to the restaurant spoke the the guy who I ordered with and delivered the food and the minute I said my truck he knew what had happened. Nothing he could do, paid with cash, not sure he even said he was sorry, but asked did I want to speak to a manager, I replied yes. Waited about 8 minutes for someone to pick up (Bria), who said all the managers were in a meeting and it would be an hour before they call back, needless to say 7 hours later.... still waiting for a call.As I said at the beginning, just disappointed was looking forward to a special dinner with my man to celebrate our anniversary and it fell short due to service!! I will say the food we got was delicious, yes the lettuce and tomatoes with their dressing, but hate paying 18.00 and I’m sure the shrimp would of been amazing. Customer service does matter!!!**The original visit was on 9/4/21 and as of 9/21/21, I have yet to receive an email or phone call from this restaurant. Clearly they are lacking customer service. And I was asked to email them which I have done and still no response. 9/25/21 Very sad!10/14/2021. I’m still waiting to hear from customer service. I emailed my contact, but yet to hear from them.

Lunch time visit. Crowded but received attentive service. Soup and salad were wonderful, as usual. Portions shrank a bit but its understandable with the shortage of everything. Service excellent, too!

Second time here and still terrible. Not worth the price, and I dine out several times a week enjoying all kinds of cuisine! My filet was well, although I didn’t order well. It also came with asparagus, this is what they served, (See picture) all stalks. I was also. supposed to be accompanied with yellow rice. they substituted with sliced potatoes without asking me. 2 stars because our waitress was great.

24th October every year we eat there. The food is great as always and the atmosphere is as well. SEE YOU THERE NEXT YEAR! Oh and its our special day 36 yrs and going.

Almost did not get in as we forgot to make a reservation and it usually is completely booked for lunch. Fortunately, someone did not show up. The tile work reminds us of southern spain with the moorish influence. The service was fine as was the food. A short walk from the fort, pirate museum, and town square.

Celebrated my husbands birthday at the Columbia. We did have reservations but were seated before our reservation time. Food was fantastic. Service was good. Loved, loved the Con Leche (served the steamed milk seperate) and the Bread Pudding. We will definitely be going back.

Super salad, its the salad of decades always order it. It puts the Columbia House on the maltreatment! Great soups. Ate outside, pleasant atmosphere, other dog families!

Do yourself a favor. Just order the White Chocolate Bread Pudding.Its a great appetizer!

I have to say that the service was excellent!! Some of the food was very tasty but in a constructive way I want to say that the Vegetarian Paella needs more flavor. I know it can be done because Ive eaten VP in other occasions and it was really good. Maybe there’s a need to revised the recipe!!! The restaurant is very beautiful and it has a shop with so many goodies directly from Spain so I recommend it!!

Our server was very nice. She went a little too quickly through the specials, but that was ok. We sat in a sunroof lit room which was gorgeous. The food was delicious, the portions were generous. The kids menu had nice items on it that my kids liked.Im glad we gave this place a 2nd try after stopping by yesterday and being told it was almost a 2 hour wait.

Awesome place Great Food staff was very friendly and helpful.

I absolutely love the 1905 Salad and Bean cakes. Beautiful place to visit.

Everything was amazingPolo manchengo was deliciousThe salad 1905 made in front of youSangria is made in front of you also

The service was good. We really like the atmosphere as well. The bread they give you in the beginning was great. We are by no means food critic but it wasnt our cup of tea. The food was not bad but it wasnt spectacular either.

One of my husband and I favorite restaurants. The food is always excellent❤ as you can see I had the key lime pie for dessert (it was so good) that by the time I remember to take a picture it was almost gone🤣

The food was amazing as is the whole atmosphere! I got a whole bunch of tapas for dinner and highly recommend getting their shrimp. It was delicious as was their key lime pie! It is pricey but definitely worth going for a special celebration

The 1905 salad and fresh bread and butter is amazing! Nay was a wonderful server -very attentive and friendly. She made our 1905 salad table side and piled our plates high. We will definitely ask for Nay on our next visit.

We had an amazing time here. Made a reservation at 330p on a Sunday afternoon. Got in with no wait. Had amazing food. I had the Cuba combo plate my husband had the grouper jimmy. No complaints will be back.

Very disappointed. Visited on a busy Friday night only waited for about 30 minutes. The inside was beautiful and full of historic charm. We ordered drinks which were really good. The bread was delicious and the server was good. If only this positivity continued through the entrees. My husband ordered the Shrimp and Yellow rice and I ordered the Vegetarian Paella. When they set my husband’s plate down I immediately smelled the shrimp, like they had gone bad. It turned my stomach. I tried my dish and it had no flavor or spice. The rice was a bit over cooked as well. Just not even worth eating. My husband then confirmed that that shrimp tasted awful. We called our server over and explained. He returned a little while later and told us that they would take the entrees off our check and offered us something else or dessert. We declined both. Neither of us felt much like eating at that point. I know all restaurants have off nights, but for the location and price you’d expect excellence... not what we experienced.

Mahi samich @ chicken manchego. Good flavor. Reasonable. Always a wait so we ate at the bar

Excellent food and excellent staff. Waitress Elizabeth was one of the best servers I’ve ever had and she made the whole experience. My father had the meatloaf sandwich which he loved and my mother had the Cuban Sandwich and she said it was delicious. I had the beef and veggies that was sautéed and was blown away with how good it was. Also liked the 150 Salad.

Food was wonderful, as was the service. Variety of food choices and full of flavor. A short wait, 45 min before we were seated. There is a gift store too. Relax, turn off your phone & enjoy!

1905 salad is a dream, crabcakes, fine! Lovely atmosphere.

Fantastic staff and great food. We went on a Tuesday and was told reservations only but they had room at the bar so plan ahead.We had a pitcher of Sangria de Cava and it was refreshing and so good. The salad is a must - original in house original 1905 side salad with an amazing garlic dressing. If you like onions, get the Salteado steak. The Cuban was also excellent.

It was not as good as expected. Service was not so good. The food was served warm instead of hot. It did not live up to the hype. Wish we had gone elsewhere.

Ray Z terrific. Food great. You have to have the salad.

The food was good and the atmosphere was nice 👍 We overheard another server mention that the restaurant was short staffed but we felt very taken care of the whole time. Ask for Evan! He was present and attentive, answered questions and chatted with us, and all around was very pleasant to be served by.

We went for my daughters birthday. Food was amazing and server went above and beyond. The servers all sang Happy Birthday to my daughter and she got a free dessert, we all got to try the flan. Delicious

Columbia Restaurant was a great way to end a Christmas night. We had reservations for 8:30 and was seated promptly when the time came around. Everyone in my party enjoyed their food but I had the Salteado and I will confirm that the dish was incredible. Would not hesitate to order it again. The bread pudding was alright, I probably wouldnt order it again but was enjoyed by the other people in my party. The service was quick, the food was great, and overall it was an enjoyable experience. Thanks for the great night!

We requested a table with view to the center fountain. I Left in the messages, called in advance, told the lady when I arrived. Then when I got the text that my table was ready, apparently they had an issue with the tables, the host told me to wait a minute got the iPad and started walking all over the restaurant. While he was doing that two ladies came and asked me if I need it help, the first one as soon as I told her I was waiting for my table she reply to wait a minute. The second one VERY RUDE, the only blonde lady with a messy bun, asked me when I was telling her the same that I was waiting for my table she interrupted me and token JUsT HOLD ON. She was the one who came to asked me if I need it anything, then the guy came back to the host area and gave the menus to the rude host and she took us to the bar area, there the menus and left. :/ then what was the point of making a reservation calling and asking 3 times to please allocate us in the center of hey we’re gonna stuck us in the bar. But as I was waiting for my table I saw people coming in with no reservation getting placed in the area I requested. Then we made our order of drinks, the waitress put by mistake the our sangria in the table next to us when the person tried it and told her she just took it and put it in our table. We had to tell her to please bring us a fresh one as someone had already had a drink from it. The food is supposed to be Cuban/Spanish, but it really had no taste. Overpriced for bad service and bad food. If you wanted to go to see the art in the building it really doesn’t matter if you plan with them in advance you might get stuck in the by the worst table. Nor really worth it.

The food is so tasteless and dry. The only good thing was the bread. Super over priced!

The Columbia Restaurant is located in the heart of St Augustine. It is an old building, with lots of history. I got the Palomilla as a main course. It was thinly sliced, marinated sirloin,, with minced onions,, parsley, and lime juice. It was very flavorful. The server was very friendly.

(We) had a great meal(s), and great service. The place was busy, all the staff were masked and polite. Patrons were a mix of masked and not. Anyway, the food, drinks and service were great.As what seems the new normal, prices seem higher than in the past.

With over 5 locations around Florida and it’s history as the oldest restaurant in all of Florida, Columbia doesn’t disappoint in service, flavor, and experience. With this location set in Florida’s oldest city, Columbia presents to you a beautiful location and a beautiful restaurant reminiscent of the ancient Haciendas that the Spanish set up around St Augustine during their colonization efforts. Adorned with candelabra, baroque paintings, as well as mosaic floors and walls, Columbia’s opulence reminds you of the upscale experience that Spanish food provides. Their starter Cuban-style bread is wonderful and very consistent in texture and freshness. The start appetizer is their 1905 salad with ham and cheese that is made for you table-side with only the freshest ingredients and with a taste quite like no other salad. As for their entrees, you cannot skip the most famous Spanish dish, paella. A dish so complex that it requires 30 minutes of preparation after being ordered and using the worlds finest spice, saffron, paella’s use of seafood and other meats into one dish to create an unexpectedly well balanced dish that will bewilder even the finest taste buds. It is wonderful in flavor, consistency and freshness of seafood. The service was wonderful per usual too with great attention to every detail. Columbia’s ability to maintain a consistent service and good quality in beautiful spaces for the 7 times I’ve gone to many of their different locations as well as the fact that it has been open for more than a hundred years goes to show that it is one of the best restaurants in all of the state of Florida and can’t be skipped if you are in one of the cities where they offer a location.

After reading all of the goood reviews I’m not sure where we went wrong. To start the service was excellent. Our waiter was very kind and attentive. The place itself is very well decorated, but do not eat here! We ordered two club soda with lime and the lime skewered on top my beverage was moldy. Actually moldy and dry looking. My napkin was stained and looked used. Then our entrees.... they came out very fast which makes me wonder if they were frozen or premade. My fish was okay, not the best, and very little flavor. My partners dinner, the Ropa Vieja, is usually one of his favorite dishes and he could tell it wasn’t fresh either. Not worth the money. If you go here get drinks and enjoy the environment, beware of the food!

Food taste like it came from a steam line. All vegetables were hard as a rock not even to being attempted to be cooked. Service could have been better but it wasnt. I expected a fine dining experience got less than fast food quality. Might as well have ordered in a clowns mouth. Overall will never go there again ever

If I could give this restaurant 10 stars I would. It is that good. The architecture and the atmosphere is incredible. A very historic and beautiful restaurant. The food is so delicious

Great food! Great service! The bean soup and Epanadas were terrific!

Beyond incredible food! Must have the 1905 salad! Are waitress was very friendly and provided great service. I would like to extend a special thank to all the staff, with no one wanting to return to work the staff is working twice as hard and still able provide excellent service. Columbia made are 25th Anniversary a very special memory we will never forget. Ty all!!

Good place to dine in, the Muhi Muhi has a spectacular taste.

I hadnt been in quite a while but it was still just like I remember. The food was perfect and the Sangria was delicious. Our waitress was wonderful! Very friendly and prompt.

Vegan and Vegetarian options available! You can get Cuban Spanish Bean Soup, Black Beans Original 1905, black bean cakes, and stuffed mushrooms. Lovely veg items but of course more would be fantastic. They do normally carry a Veggie Paella but they didnt have it when I went. Great Sangria though!

Their food is great, 1905 salad lives up to its reputation. The black bean soup is one of my favorites. My only complaint is service may be a crapshoot depending on waiter you get. The last waiter tried to make us order a large salad and a half advising our table of 3 that it would not be suffice for all of us, not knowing that we vacation there every year and frequent the restaurant 2x during our stay for the past 15 years !

Not sure this mainstay of dining in St. Augustine is worth all the hype but the food is good as was the service. Large venue. Reservations a must. Parking in rear, sometimes enforced for just the restaurant. Dont worry too much about what you wear here, people come in all types of dress. Of all the recommendations we had from a local this was probably the least enjoyed. Would recommend Championes Rellenos.

This place has great atmosphere and awesome located in the heart of Saint Augustine. Great to serving staff. Clean bathrooms says a lot about restaurant cleanliness. Yellow rice could use less water when cooking. I like to bring family visiting, here for a great time
