The Columbia Restaurant - a Florida tradition since 1905. If you like, Sweet Spanish onions, green peppers and almonds decorating snapper, on a mound of broth-infused yellow rice and garnished with fresh eggplant and shrimp wrapped in bacon and deep-fried or if you like four hefty-sized shrimp stuffed with a crabmeat dressing and flavored with a bit of lemon butter, served over rice, you will love this place.
