old and worn out - the food tasted the same. i just didn't think this columbia lived up to the one we frequently dine at in st. augustine. it just felt old and run down. the furniture definitely needs to be updated. i was shocked to see old green plastic chairs being use for the waterside dining. the view was beautiful, and i enjoyed the open airy feel, but it's just not what i expected out of the columbia. we started with the red sangria. it was good, however i noticed the pitcher it was being served in was chipped and broken. why not throw it out? i guess it matches the worn out surroundings. the 1905 salad and cuban bread were as good as the st. augustine columbia, however our entrees left a lot to be desired. i always order the palomilla. it is my favorite dish. my husband is cuban and we make this at home quite often, but it's always been my favorite when dining at the columbia. this came out virtually tasteless. it's as if they put no seasoning on it at all. my husband ordered the camarones rellenos (stuffed shrimp). he ate the shrimp but said the rice and veggies were so overcooked they were mush. i believe our bill was around $75 before tip. i do not believe it was worth that kind of money. we will be avoiding this columbia next time we're in the area and stick to the one closer to home.
