Restaurants near Smokey Bear Park

Mark's is always a favorite. Whether it is for a special occasion or just for an evening out, it is one of our top three favorites in Gainesville. The restaurant itself is beautiful with a very nice ambience. The chef and his crew do a spectacular job on preparing food and in presentation. And they change things up, so there are always some wonderful specials.  Our server last evening was Jeremy very pleasant, engaging, efficient and professional. He was happy to explain things and make suggestions. His partner Ryan was great, very accommodating and pleasant. We often enjoy Mark's while sitting in the bar area which is delightful. 

Amazing food and desserts, great presentation, phenomenal service, and it was the perfect place to take my partner for his birthday! New favorite dinner place :)

The food was delicious and the customer service was top notch! Our waiter was prompt and fun.

Comfortable chairs and great view. Lovely evening.

Not their fault, but we sat outside, which was lovely, but there were two “kids” skateboarding on the sidewalk right next to our table. They were very loud. This is an issue for the Gainesville PD. Something for Amelia’s to bring up with them.
