Beware they add a service charge and say it is not a tip.

What a delicious local spot to dine at!We made a very short notice reservation for four, and within two hours were accommodated thanks to a kind woman on the phone.We arrived at 4:45 and were greeted by Justice, who took great care of us throughout the experience.He recommended excellent wine pairings as well as thorough details of ingredients - to which my 3 course meal was truly perfect.It got quite busy after 5:30 and they were definitely short staffed but Justice kept being wonderful.Can't wait to be back and enjoy a rare local restaurant in Gainesville.

Bert and team are always on top of the list when choosing a restaurant. It's always a delight to find their oysters on the menu like they were last night. Entries were superb as were the cocktails.

I had the Chef's Special Crab Cake and it was delicious. Very cute in the inside as well.

Our server, Justice, was very attentive and went above and beyond to make our dining experience one we will not forget. I easily give this restaurant a 10The whole atmosphere was filled with beautiful mirrors and plants that just gave us a great feeling to just be there . I also got the blackberry margarita that was very good and I am picky when it comes to Margaritas. All in all, it was Very pleasant .We will hope to go back again one day .

I ordered the lamb - have had it several times in the past. It was prepared differently and I didn't find the sauce as tasty. The server was excellent, the ambience quieter than usual and so easy to converse. I'll return, order another entree next time.

Unfortunately the snooty hostess put a bad taste in our mouths as soon as we walked in! She was rude and condescending and made it very clear she'd rather we eat elsewhere We came very close to walking out. We probably should have. The food was ok. There were some hits, like the carrot soup, and the rest was mediocre at best. The two stars are for the total experience, as the man behind the bar seemed to be carrying the whole restaurant and he was kind and professional but had too much on his hands and it took quite a while for each course of our meal, which is fine when you're seated comfortably, but we were not. We had been banished to the bar by snooty hostess. While seated at the bar, we had a vantage point to observe all the other waitstaff cutting their own fruit for drinks, never washing their hands before doing so. The interior needs updating and the overall ambiance was lacking, at least from our second class seating assignment.

Presentation of food was excellent, portions were adequate . Server was attentive but not intrusive. Ambiance does not match the quality of the dishes. Wait staff could use some uniformity in dress. Table clothes for the table would be welcome. Noise level was moderate but only because we were a more sheltered area. A lot of hard surfaces so not much can be done about noise. Overall food and presentation is as good as one will find here. It deserves a better setting.

We came to Mildred's for the first time for Valentine's Day this year! It was amazing! Everything from the fresh focaccia bread, to the dessert at the end was outstanding. The variety is great and the value is even better. Highly recommend checking out Mildred's Big City Food.

Overall it was a great experience. We had the charcuterie board as an appetizer, it was very good but would have been better with some crackers. We had the carrot soup and beet tartar as our first course and liked them both. Then we had the Pork belly, and the Snapper as our entrees. Booth were good, but we both stated we wish we had gotten the Hen, as we have had it before and it was better than what we ordered. The coconut cream cake was out of this world. Overall very good experience.
