With Christmas just two weeks away, reservation website OpenTable published their annual Top 20 Most Booked Restaurants for Christmas, which gives the scoop on which restaurants throughout the U.S. received the most Christmas dinner reservations last year. Ybor City veteran restaurant and Tampa Bay staple Columbia was the only Tampa restaurant to make the list.
The only other Florida restaurant that made the cut was Cafe Osceola at Rosen Shingle Creek in Orlando.
If you don’t feel like whipping up a Christmas Day feast, it might not be too late to snag reservations at Columbia and enjoy its classic table-side sangria and tapas. All five Columbia locations throughout the greater Tampa area are open on Christmas this year featuring a special holiday menu of roasted turkey and lechon asado, as well as their regular dinner offerings.
And of course, reservations are encouraged.
The Ybor City Columbia location is stationed at 2117 E. 7th Ave.
