Description
First opened as a cafe for cigar makers in Ybor City, the Columbia Restaurant is the oldest and largest Spanish restaurant in the United States. Founded in 1905 by Casimiro Hernandez, the restaurant reached it present glory when Casimiro's son, a junior, took over in 1930.
Playing host to countless dignitaries over the years, the restaurant helped popularize Spain's exotic cuisine in America. The restaurant's management has remained in the Hernadez for over 100 years.
