Columbia makes Top 20 Most Booked Christmas OpenTable Restaurants

Tampa's historic Columbia Restaurant located at 2111 East 7th Avenue in Ybor City made the list for the Top 20 Most Booked OpenTable Restaurants for Christmas in a list provided by OpenTable. It is the only restaurant in Tampa to make the list.

The list is based on restaurants that received the most online seated reservations through OpenTable, a restaurant reservation online platform, on Christmas Day, December 25, 2018. Christmas can be a notoriously difficult day to find open restaurants in the Tampa area.

Columbia Restaurant has remained a reliable place to eat during the holidays.

Columbia Restaurant is the oldest restaurant in Florida and has been owned by the same family since its inception in 1905. Popular menu items include their 1905 Salad, Chicken and Yellow Rice "Valencia", and The Original Cuban Sandwich...to name a few items.
