Mildred's Big City Food Reviews
I had a very good experience going here and they have very good food! Thank you!
Good food! Would definitely go there again!
☹️Although we got the fixed price deal for $43, the bill with extra service charges, two glasses of wine and a coke added up to over $250 for three people. My NY Strip was nearly inedible - tough and gristly. Gainesville is a small college town and $250 for three is the priciest in town. I'll never return.

The restaurant provides good value and a great atmosphere for dinner conversations.

Recent diners have enjoyed creative dishes like octopus carpaccio and perfectly cooked scallops, showcasing the chef's skill in using local and fresh ingredients. The menu also features inventive options, and the wine list and cocktails are highly recommended. Regulars have praised the superb food, particularly dishes like escargot, braised lamb, and duck breast. Although there were mentions of longer wait times and a slightly higher noise level, the consistently outstanding food and service continue to make Mildred's a popular choice for both locals and visitors. The restaurant maintains a welcoming environment and high-quality food, making it a top dining option in Gainesville, though some feel the decor could use a refresh.
