05.24.2018: Tampa Chill Day & The Columbia

Today Vince had a few meetings in the morning they we headed over to the beach area in the later afternoon.  It was gorgeous! We drove around the waterfront areas for a bit before heading back to our area. 
 
We were planning to go to a nice dinner tonight at a Spanish restaurant called Columbia. I had done my research (as always) and had my eye on this place all week. I patiently waited, and tonight was our last night here.  No disappointment, it was one of the best dining experiences we had had in a very long time! It was amazing!!!  The restaurant itself was in an old building that held the original restaurant (in just one of the many rooms it has now) from 1905. Gorgeous décor, interesting & storied history that the waitress gives you when you sit down, the food was phenomenal, the wine was from their family vineyards/winery and was made just for the restaurant.  Their house salad was delicious!  Vince had the paella and I had the arroz con pollo.  Both were incredible - both in presentation and taste!  We even splurged tonight and had dessert and a specialty coffee drink.  Such an amazing and fun dinner!  We were in no rush and took our time enjoying this wonderful restaurant.  Another place I HIGHLY recommend if you are in the Tampa area.
