“Anytime I meet my son for brunch in Gainesville this is where I want to eat! Love the Flying Biscuit! Food is so yummy!!“

“One of the best bars in Gainesville. Quality drinks, creative and skilled bartenders. Go to if you want good cocktails and a chill atmosphere.“

“Come here on a regular basis and always had a good experience. The ladies behind the counter have the right attitude, they know what I'm getting before I have the chance to tell them.
If you're going to come often highly suggest getting the mug, cheaper refills and good quality so I use it all the time. I have 2 of the mugs and 2 color changing cups.“

“The food was scrummy! Mildred and New Deal are conjoint twin restaurants. This one tries for a hip yuppy vibe but could be cleaner - Mildred is table cloth, napkins and seniors. If seniors with oxygen tubes eat there, I will trust the safety of their food. A couple of different vegetarian options at New Deal but not so much at Mildred. The waitress also told us later that they could make many Of Mildred 's vegetarian. The pumpkin cheesecake was amazing, better than cheesecake factory. The coconut pineapple cake was okay. 8$ a slice for canned pineapples and not a layer of pineapple jam? Mch mch mch.“

“Spectacular view, atmosphere and setting... just upscale enough to put on the dress you've been saving but not too much that it's snobby or uncomfortable. The picturesque backdrop and complimentary valet parking makes you feel like you're not in Gainesville anymore. Absolutely wonderful place for an escape date night! Now, the food. We had the deviled eggs for a starter. Nope. Pass on it. Hubby ordered the Coco Pirinah drink and it was presented lavishly, befitting the place. Very original but just a touch too tart and tad weak for our taste. For mains we both ordered steak frites entrees. The salad was deceitfully simple and plain looking but actually original and very delicious. The steak was prepared properly to order and was tasty. Limited menu and food/drink just shy of wow got it to 4 stars. 5th star for the view, complimentary valet parking and setting. We'll be back for the view and to try the banh mi sandwich. 1514 SW 14th St, Gainesville, fl“

“The music is very good in this place but the environment is very badly designed. There is so much space in this building, and yet everyone gets cramped in one room. I think they need a serious renovation. The drinks are priced good and if you like latin music, the music is good. But go early as it gets VERY “

“My family and I was returning back home from Vacation and decided to find a seafood restaurant during our stop in Gainesville. Our decision to try the "Seafood Dock " was definitely the best one ever. The service was superb, our food was served without much of a wait , it was fresh, hot and presentation was on point. We were a party of five and tried different dishes from the menu . Our portions were not skimpy and the food was delicious. The environment was relaxing, clean and "Tiffany J,"❤️our server was courteous , kind and just made us feel very special. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
