2 Stars: Columbian or Cuban? (by Trina S.)

Food was good and atmosphere was very elegant! But... I hate, to be the only negative review but I think some need to know! My step father and mother came to tampa to visit. My step father is columbian (bogota hometown), and I had heard so many good things about this restaurant. So.. I decided this is the perfect restaurant to take him to. We were very disappointed. There is only a handfull of columbian dishes. It was mainly cuban. My step father said it was not even close to columbian dishes! They should call there restaurant Cuban! Its deceiving to the people that think its authentic columbian cuisine. But, they have mastered cuban.. so they get a thumbs up for that! Because of this I give two stars!

Very classy place. The food was very well presented and the restaurant itself is amazing. It is a family owned and operated business and has been in existence for 104 years. Great time1

Try their legendary salad - it is to die for!! The atmosphere is awesome, we have been many times and loved it every time. This place is a staple to the area and should be visited by tourists and locals alike for the wonderful food.

This is a really fun restaurant with so much history and atmosphere. Their famous 1905 salad is so great, it's all I ever order but have been many times with large groups and everyone is always satifsfied with their meals. Service is incredible and you leave having had a wonderful time.

This is one of the oldest restaurants in Tampa and their salad is to die for!! I found their entrees a little ho-hum for the price, but their appetizers and salads are fabulous. I have been here many times, and it is a beautiful old restaurant- you can't miss it with all the tile on the outside. I would highly recommend coming here for a weekend lunch.
