“My husband and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary at Antebellum last night. Sean, our waiter, was phenomenal and personable. We have delicious drinks and never a half full cup of water went unnoticed. We had the sweet potato soup, which was actually the most delicious soup we both have ever tasted. I mean, it was our favorite dish of the evening. We also did the burrata salad - fantastic. Both were very well balanced. For the entrées, we had the braised beef bolognese with goat cheese and it was all things comfort and elegant. Second entree was the wild Alaskan Halibut, which had a lemon risotto and chili sauce that helped to cut the fattiness of the dish. Both were very, very good. Good portions. We were stuffed, but had to get the toffee pudding. DELICIOUS. Will be back! Also looking forward to trying their pizza and brunch spot.“

“When we first came to recess we sat at the bar and we met Dorsey who was the bartender. Who turned us into regulars quickly. Her balance of checking in and giving space while throwing quips is something that has been lost in nearly every restaurant I attend. The art of service is something that is alive and well in Recess. So now my wife and I have been go to Recess every Monday for the last 2-3 years. It is just our spot at this point and it’s hard to remember a time before it. Gainesville wouldn’t be the same to me without Recess. If you like the look of the menu stop in, if you don’t, ask about the specials. You will find something to enjoy. We will see you Monday.“

“Great Food, Great Service, Great Value!

I recently enjoyed a fantastic lunch with my son at Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen. The friendly host quickly seated us, and our server promptly arrived with warm, buttery croissants and took our drink order.

We started with delicious cheese curds, and our main courses were equally impressive. My son's chicken and shrimp dish was a hit, while I indulged in the renowned country-fried steak with a generous side salad and creamy mashed potatoes.

The portions were incredibly generous
– the side salad could have easily been a meal on its own!

The combination of excellent food, attentive service, and affordable prices made for a truly enjoyable dining experience. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a satisfying meal.“
