Best Cozy Restaurants in Gainesville

Love everything about this restaurant…quaint and excellent!

Took my dad here for his 80th birthday. The restaurant is lovely and staff were incredibly nice and attentive. Our waiter was so kind and patient with my dad who is a bit high maintenance. We started with the oysters Rockefeller, pork belly and salads, which were all very good. Waiter kept bringing me rosé instead of vinho verde which was not a big deal. I had the veal scallopini, which I found a bit chewy and greasy for my taste. The gnocchi served with it however, was delicious. My husband had the vieras del minho which was good, but a little bland. My dad didn’t like his mahi mahi, but the staff was very accommodating in getting him another piece of fish that was more to his liking. I should have left more room as the dessert menu is extensive. My dad had the chocolate brownie which he said was excellent.

Great food, our server Kiara provided excellent recommendations.

My friends and I had a fabulous lunch at Taste of Old Country! The food was wonderful, our waitress was so sweet and funny. We truly enjoyed our lunch and will definitely go back.

Food and service were good. Great burger and fries. Price is OK. Problem is this place is always deserted. Airlie resort and it’s amenities like Harry’s are so under marketed and I’m afraid it’s not going to survive. You’ve got to spend money to make money, and they simply do not invest in marketing this gem in our community. Sadly, the grounds are deteriorating and it appears they don’t have the funds to maintain the property appropriately. Walkways are crumbling, lighting is broken and insufficient. I hope they give this property some TLC and revive it.
