Mildred's Big City Food

Mildred's is the best restaurant in Gainesville. Chef Cameron is always looking for creative ways to use local and fresh ingredients to put together excellent dishes. Last night we enjoyed octopus carpaccio which is new to the menu and the always amazing scallops with a fresh new set up. Service is always on point and they make you feel special even on a random Friday evening. Bert Gill continues to exceed expectations both here and at Blue Gill!

Always a fantastic time here. Service and atmosphere are excellent. The menu offers new and inventive dishes that always deliver. Wine list and cocktails are great. Highly recommend. One of my favorite places to dine.

We enjoyed the food, we arrived on time 5:15 they were changing shift (our bad) the were other wait staff other than ours who were attentive, appeared to understand how to provide customer service, and made prolonged eye contact. We would order al'carte next time, if we try again.

The best restaurant in town. The food is spectacular and restaurant is very cozy. Service is amazing. They have full bar with seasonal drinks and incredible affordable wine list. The dessert is a plus , those amazing cakes made in the house surprisingly can delight your palate after the most amazing dinner! Definitely we will come back every time we visit Gainesville.

Excellent food and good service! The down side is, It's a small open area that gets crowded and can sometimes be hard to hear people at your own table.

Had a wonderful graduation celebration dinner. Food was excellent1 Service was outstanding! highly recommend.

My first experience at Mildred's was wonderful. I took my wife there on my second visit and we both ordered the Pork Schnitzel. We were unimpressed. My wife was reluctant, but I made a reservation for five of us recently. All of us were very pleased. The Smoked Potato Soup was just outstanding. It was a wonderful experience. We will return.

It was my birthday and my husband and mine's anniversary and they did not disappoint. The service was spectacular. The food was amazing and we did not leave disappointed. Yes, it's a little expensive but it's very good quality food. The pork chop was divine. I will definitely go back

Wine selection was excellent. The escargot appetizer was out of this world amazing. My wife enjoyed all the components of her prix fixe dinner, but my soup was too salty to eat. They were great in replacing it for a different option which was much better. I wasn't a fan of the hen and risotto however. It wasn't bad but wasn't great and was a bit of a let down after the fantastic appetizer. Will be going back to try more of their fare. One of the best dining options in Gainesville.

Everything was fantastic! From the server (Mildred) to the 3-course meals, plus the appetizer. The manager was also very kind to have a pleasant conversation. Great appetizer (crab cakes), great salads, great entrees (hen), and great dessert. We will be back again!

Good food with many options. The 12% automatic service fee leaves little motivation for staff , which then leads to a smaller tip. Don't think they will be around in 2026.

Food was great. The snapper was very well prepared and the pomme frites were delicious. Very homey feel!

The food is delicious, particularly the veggies. They were happy to accommodate diners with dietary concerns (gluten-free this trip and previously with my vegan sister). The staff are friendly. The interior ambiance is great. They do have a few outside tables but they are right next to the parking lot, so far less formal than the inside. On previous trips the temperature inside was fine, but this week it was a bit warm, so it's possible the AC was struggling. It was actually pretty busy for a Monday night.

Mildred's Big City Food is SUCH a gem. We loved everything about it. The food was incredible. LOVED the English pea food with creme fraiche, stuffed quail, scallops and last but not least, the tempeh with squash rosotto. Teh desserts were out of this world. We loved all the cakes and wanted to taste all of them. Service was spectacular - just right. Warm, friendly, efficient but not rushed at all. We look forward to returning to this spectacular place. Location is great with ample parking.

I had a very good experience going here and they have very good food! Thank you!
