Met some friends for drinks and appetizers, and I ordered their 1905 Classic Martini which costs $12.00. I mentioned to our waiter to not be shy with the olives half jokingly. When our bill came for our drinks and appetizers there was a $3.00 charge...for a Coke, which we did not order. When I asked our waiter, he then told me that the bartender said that was the way he had to charge me for the 2 additional olives. For a $12.00 martini!? He never told me that there was an additional charge for a couple of olives! I have NEVER experienced this anywhere! Unbelievable.More

We were downtown and stopped for lunch. A friend had recommended the 1905 Salad. We ordered mahi mahi which was very good. I thought my salad had too much dressing...was swimming in it.....and because I am not a fan of garlic would not order it...again. The restaurant itself is charming and the service very good.More

Everything served was perfecto. Everything. Began w a the signature 1905 salad - a thinly sliced ham and cheese tossed into an iceberg with a lemon, oil, white vinegar, oregano, garlic and Worechester sauce dressing - wow. My perfectly seasoned, thinly sliced steak covered w...a delicious diced white onion and parsley mix over yellow rice w plantains, was absolutely delicious. Even the bread and butter was great. Tried the filet mignon- another hit, as well. The waiting staff, all the staff, professional, prompt and attentive but not invasive. Was impressed over the speed at which the food was brought out, as well. All this in an authentic charming vintage high ceiling spanish restaurant and setting in old St. Augustine. Perfect for one day tourists like us just off a day tour, however, NOT a tourist trap, but the opposite ! It certainly lived up to its name as the “Gem of Spanish Restaurants”.More

This was our first time there and my boyfriend is from Cuba so we were excited to try the Combo of Cuba entree and we also had the Colombian bean soup with their house baked bread and butter. Everything was delicious! We will definitely be...back.More

After a few days in Florida, many of our previous favorites are closed or yet to reopen, and hope all do reopen. We have been eating at this great restaurant all around Florida for many years. Yes the menu is limited, but the quality, preparation,...presentation are still wonderful. I have to admit, I did enjoy the spacing between tables pleasing. We had the stuffed mushroom appetizer, salad (hate they can't make it tableside), and the Cuban for lunch. Having enjoyed versions of these at many different establishments and the Columbia is consistently in our top 3. Michael continued their commitment to excellent service and he was great. If you have limited time in the area, make this one your first choice. ENJOYMore

We always love eating here whenever we visit St. Augustine. The food is delicious, service is great & atmosphere is enjoyable. Among our favorites are the calamari, seafood paella, Cuban sandwiches, red sangria & of course the Cuban bread which just keeps coming!

We stopped in for a Cuban sandwich and a Margarita on a very hot day! Everything was excellent!! I understand there are a number of Columbia restaurants, this was my first time. Highly recommend!!
