View of the sign and the outdoor dining area of the Columbia Restaurant on Front Street in Celebration.
The Hernandez Gonzmart family has been making restaurant history since 1905 when they opened their landmark Columbia Restaurant in Tampa's Historic Ybor City, which today is Florida's Oldest and the World's Largest Spanish restaurant. Today, 4th & 5th generation family members work hard to preserve the family's legacy that their great-grandfather Casimiro Hernandez Sr. created over 100 years ago when he opened the Columbia as a corner café frequented by local cigar workers.

100 years, not bad!!!
Love the sign - I like the colors against the sky and that you took it through the trees.
Wow!! A great legacy. And good food too. MB
I began to think that Celabration is a ghost village!!
Cool.
I'm with Carletta - love the sign through the trees - very cool! In this day and age a 100 year old restaurant is amazing.
