Re: [gatortalk] Gainesville Fine Dining?

Late, but Mildred's is our go-to for fine dining. Fantastic food, locally sourced, including the UF Beef Unit. Bert Gill also owns New Deal Cafe (fantastic burgers) and Blue Gill (seafood & southern casual). All are good.

Paramount is always great. their Sunday Brunch is the best.

Top class italian is Manuel's Vintage Room, make reservations. Amelia's is great. Francesca's Trattoria is really good, borderline between casual & fine.

Embers is the steakhouse on south 34th Street. Some of my friends love it. I've been there twice. Once my host rented out the whole place and had passed plates. The food was really tasty and just kept coming. The other time was for my birthday dinner. We reserved indicating it was a milestone birthday.. Our party was seated immediately and ignored for 35 minutes. We even asked those waiting nearby tables twice for water and were told that they would alert our waiter..  It was obviously also the chef's birthday.  Our steaks were flavorless and we left without dessert. 

Civilization serves fine food in a casual atmosphere. They can only seat about 59 people, so waiting is sometimes required.
