Starke Restaurants

The Columbia Restaurant is just delicious! You have to order a pitcher of table-made mojitos or sangria! An absolute must!! The Cuban bread has just the right crunch and is delicious. The 1905 salad is so flavorful and they make it right at your table. You can order it as a side salad or as your entree with turkey or shrimp. The chicken dishes and steak dishes are absolutely wonderful. Palomilla is a Cuban steak dish with the best flavor ever! If you don’t eat onion, then maybe pass on it though! Pollo Manchego is chicken breast coated with Cuban bread crumbs and manchego cheese as well as a citrusy sauce, sun dried tomatoes and fresh basil. For Tapas, the Stuffed Piquillo Peppers and the Empanadas are my favorites. The Cuban sandwich is also very good! The service is always attentive and the restaurant is just beautiful!

Hosted my 7yo’s bday party at Dave & Busters and they all had an amazing time. We reserved 2 tables online, which was very easy. The cheese and pepperoni flatbread pizzas were really great. Service was wonderful. Thanks to Keke our server for taking great care of us!

I’m never disappointed at Marks. It’s one of the few places in Gainesville with professionally trained servers. The wine list is exceptional and very fairly priced. My surf and turf (butter poached lobster tail and petite filet) was perfectly cooked. My companion felt his Strip steak was fatty, and his concern was promptly addressed by the manager. I cannot recommend Marks highly enough. My Go To special occasion place 😎

Our waitress was fantastic when we ate at 4pm on Dec. 3rd. The steak was godly! The smoking old-fashioned’s were amazing! We got a dessert that even had a little chocolate Happy Birthday sign and a candle it was perfect!
