Diane Cooley If you are ever in St Augustine Fla dine at the Columbia Restaurant. Great food! The best is their 1905 salad and Love the Sangria de Cava. Make sure you take one of their receipt books home and share with your family and friends.

Thank you Barbara for remembering our first booked penned by Ferdie and Adela. Our next book will amaze you! It takes up where the last one ended and is more about the 4th generation and the struggles to keep the restaurant secure for future generations. Let us know what you think once you have had a chance to read it. Andy did a terrific job but in a totally different way than Ferdie and Adela ...
