Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Gainesville

My friend and I went and had a great dinner. The service was good, the food was great and the drinks were perfect.

Server rushed the meal and blew up on his teammate cleaning a table

This was my second time visiting, and I certainly lived up to its reputation again. Incredible food and impeccable service.

We enjoyed our dinner. The fried cauliflower and Lebanese stir-fried lamb were DELICIOUS. The lamb dish was also a hearty portion. The crab cakes and the hummus were a bit disappointing. We'd go back for the lamb and the cauliflower. Overall, it's a unique and tasty spot.

The ambiance and service were both exceptional. They do a wonderful job with the acoustics too- we could hear each other perfectly but couldn’t hear the other tables nearby and overall didn’t notice a lot of background noise. My husband and I did the three course option. The tenderloin (likely around 3-4oz) was the highlight of the meal, the scallop was also delicious but was just a single scallop. I wasn’t a fan of the recommend asparagus starter- it was very heavily dressed and with the combination of a lightly poached egg was just a bit… wet… for me- that’s just a personal preference. My husband started with the carrot curry soup and enjoyed that. Overall we enjoyed the experience but felt the meal was a touch overpriced. Including a cocktail and half bottle of wine, our meal was $380 with tax/tip. Would selectively recommend.
