Casual, cozy ambience. They had a screened, outdoor patio although we chose to sit indoors. Our waiter and servers were very friendly. The pork belly appetizer with plantains and mango sauce was amazing! Drinks were also good.

I don’t want to leave review that messes up their rating, but I’m gonna rate the experience I had today. It was Wed, noon lunch hr, dead as could be. Two guys helped me, nice enough, never asked how food was though, and honestly, not good. Steak burrito, hard to say that W straight face, given it had maybe w 1 ounce of 1/4in size pieces smothered in rice, too salty to eat so picked meat out. I got the broccoli corn chowder, that’s what he called it, tasted like baby food...

The screened porch looking over a quintessential Gainesville creek is a hidden gem. It was a hot summer afternoon and we still enjoyed eating lunch out there, but during the fall it’s going to be hard to get me to leave. The food was excellent and so was our server.
