Ybor itself has a few seedy parts that can be dangerous at night, which is probably why you were told to avoid it. However, The Columbia is an absolute institution here in Tampa - it's the place you take out-of-towners to impress them, and the place you go for graduations and big celebrations. Our med school sometimes holds post-graduation dinners there. I've never really seen people in the general public get upset about damages done to a restaurant, but The Columbia is important to a lot of Tampa residents.
