If you are a foodie or accustomed to quality food whether in a fine dining setting or “ a hole in wall” take out, you might be disappointed. The food was average at best. A Houston Restaurant chain in my experience serves better quality rib eye steaks. I had the Delmonico steak which was pricey. It was really a C+ steak experience at most. Not much taste to steak because not seasoned with salt when cooked. Steaks have to be salted before searing to infuse flavor. It was advertised as Well marbled but lacked flavor or tenderness of a well marbled steak in my opinion. The salad was good with a house made blue cheese dressing. I think this is likely best Gainesville has to offer. It was a pleasant and decent meal but overpriced and geared to tourist palate.

Ambiance: Loved sitting in bar area booth--felt like part of a happy crowd. Service was good for such a crowd. All the food and drinks were excellent except for my main entre which was doused in salt and more salt and minus the promised mushrooms. Would definitely return and order a steak--minus salt and on the rare side of medium rare. Prices were standard for such a restaurant and glad they are in Gainesville.

We celebrated graduation dinner. The restaurant has an old steakhouse feel, which is fine. The bread was sooo good-crusty on the outside & soft on the inside. We all had filets which were cooked perfectly & well seasoned. We shared 3 sides-Brussels sprouts (very good) jalapeño cheesy potatoes (very good with just a hint of jalapeños) and miso mushroom risotto (nothing special & couldn’t find any mushroom). Our server was good but the kitchen was very slow to get the entrees out. Overall a good experience!
