Update ( I guess I forgot we ordered here before and only realized when we left the review but the…read morefood seems to be consistently bad ...dang they got us again for being so close lol) I've tried the chicharrones from this place twice now, (3 if you count 8 months ago when I forgot) and both times were a letdown. The first time, my partner picked up the order in person , we paid for a pound but got maybe 3/4 of a pound, and they were just fat with no crunch at all. They had the audacity to be bad and on top of that SHORT US. I decided to give them another chance and ordered through Uber Eats. They were still warm, so clearly fresh, but they were the chewiest, most unflavored and unappetizing chicharrones I've ever had still just full of fat. From a place called La Lechonera, you'd think they'd have these down. Sadly, I'll probably never order from here again. ( IF I CAN REMEMBER LMAO)

Tampa's oldest and finest restaurant, The Columbia. Atmosphere - historic and beautiful. Service from Nick, our friendly and knowledgeable server, impeccable, intentional, making each of us feel special. The food - ten out of ten. Ten people and every need was met, every item well prepared with perfect timing. It was a great celebration, not rushed, just right. A night to remember with special thanks to Nick and the staff at the fabulous Columbia.

We weren't too crazy because the fried are coated and the hush puppies were way over cooked with a weird batter/dough that reminded mea lot of an undercooked corn bread. Yes, the dark brown spheres on the bottom of the plate were hushpuppies. Service was excellent with the waiter checking in on us and refilling drinks. That might have been easier because we were late in coming in for lunch, so it wasn't really crowded. I imagine that during a busy dinner service, it's probably pretty loud, but here it was just a nice quite cafe feel. The big takeaway - the seafood was excellent. It was fresh, hot, well cooked. But the sides seem to fall down, nothing except the slaw was something I want again. So come for the seafood, but lower your expectations for the slaw.

I didn't know they close at 6pm, so I was glad I was getting in and being able to get my food. Anyway, the employees are still the same and very friendly. I offered beef stew, pigeon and yellow rice, with a side order of potato salad. When I got to my destination, I was really impressed by the food looking the same. The big difference, and disappointment was the taste. The food wasn't good at all. What a disappointment!!! The meat was too salty, the rice was super hard, and I couldn't eat it. The potato salad was decent, but it had peas in it. I definitely don't eat sweet peas. So I ate around them. Trust me, the food was almost $18 and I gave a tip. I definitely won't be back. :-(
