Their famous salad is phenomenal and the Cuban to top it off. It’s in an open air airport…so in spite of that, the atmosphere is not bad…but not great either. But when you’re in an airport, what is. Next time in the airport or Tampa in general…gonna go again. It’s more than worth it.

The only thing that could make it better would be: not being in the airport but we were sure glad it was.

The food is bland and dry. I ordered the eggplant and my wife got the half Cuban and house salad. The eggplant was unseasoned. After cracking salt all over it it was decent. My wife’s on the other hand was bad. The Cuban tasted like cardboard with dry deli meat. The salad tasted like it was dressed in oil, and neither of us understood why it’s “famous.” Maybe it was an off night. I’ve been to the other Columbia and this location didn’t reflect the brand well in my opinion. I left wishing we would have gotten a sub. The server was very sweet! And the vibe is nice especially if you want to escape sitting at your gate.

What a disappointment! The place was empty, and the attendant directed us to a two-seater table in the hallway. We had two backpacks and another bag, and there wasn´t place to put our luggage except where people were passing by. We asked to change tables, and the waitress was not happy. After that, we waited fifteen minutes for someone to assist us. The waiters walked past us and didn't acknowledge our presence. Nobody came to help. We decided to get up and leave. I believe they have earned enough money. Don't waste your money there. Just ahead, there is a place that sells wonderful sandwiches.

$22.50 for a prosecco $23.50 for a mimosa (with a splash of OJ - less alcohol) Ridiculous. Never again. Love The Columbia. Had a fantastic dinner plus flamenco last night. Great service, food and entertainment. But the airport location, although beautiful, is ridiculously expensive.

Very nice atmosphere. Great staff. Was looking forward to the chorizo but it was left in the skin and so hard you couldn't cut into it. Disappointing.

While tasty, the "famous" salad was very salty and had way too much vinegar dressing. The chicken and rice plate serving was very small, the chicken portion was mostly bones. I suggest you look elsewhere to have a meal. This place is way too overpriced and the quality and portions lack.

Brittany is a good server. The Mahi was excellent. Plantains were perfect. Great house hot sauce.
