5 /5 Amanda Major: Celebration has several lovely restaurants, but you’d have a hard time finding one more popular than Columbia Restaurant- Celebration.
Columbia legitimately claims to be home to the original Cuban sandwiches found in the US. Their food is fresh and authentic. I love having friends dine there with me because they are so easy to work with on seating large groups. Call and make a reservation ahead of time, and no matter how big or small, they can accommodate your group. All their employees have been polite and very competent. You will enjoy their Spanish/Cuban meals. Located on Front Street, my first suggestion is don’t try to park close by, as parking along Front Street is maddeningly hard to come by park out and walk in. Second, after your meal, walk around the town for a while. Columbia overlooks the lake, and Celebration’s downtown is picturesque and quaint. We’ve always had an excellent meal here with amazing service in a beautifully decorated restaurant. Columbia’s restroom is large with many stalls and always clean. Their most popular menu item is the 1905 salad. I love their crab cakes. Enjoy!
