Best Southern American Restaurants in Gainesville

Food was really good. I thoroughly enjoyed the surprise desert and loved the fact that we could pay from their app and separate the checks! This was truly a great birthday dinner!

Great food, great service. I would recommend this restaurant to my family and friends.

This was our first time to Milton’s and it was excellent! The deviled eggs & pimento cheese appetizers were fantastic! And don’t let me forget the HOT fresh rosemary bread. DROOL! After we ate all of that, we barely had room for dinner, but we ordered the cauliflower steak and meatloaf. All were excellent. Don’t forget to get a dirty martini or two with blue cheese stuffed olives!!!

First night back in town following an afternoon flight, so I suggested we go out for dinner. Where? Well, our “go-to’s” are either Table & Main or its sister restaurant, Osteria Mattone. We had last been to OM, so T&M it is! Wife got the three course prix fixe dinner for $35 cornbread manzanilla salad with half a chicken with parsnips, (half of which came home!) and bananas foster pudding (NONE of which came home!) For me, I tried the butternut squash & poblano bisque followed by the new menu’s pot roast dinner entree. I found myself wishing the soup had a little more “kick” but the pot roast lived up to waiter Conner’s description and is deserving of a spot in the rotation of meals I will order!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this incredible restaurant Marc at Chateau elan, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of amazing. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was inviting and the staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive. Our server who was also a “Colin” went through the menu in detail and depth. The menu offered a delightful variety of dishes, each more tempting than the last. I started with the appetizer, which was a perfect blend of flavors and textures, setting the tone for the rest of the meal. The main course was absolutely divine. Every bite was bursting with flavor, and the presentation was impeccable. The ingredients were clearly fresh and of high quality, making each dish a culinary masterpiece. To top it all off, the dessert was simply heavenly. It was the perfect ending to an already perfect meal. Overall, the food at this restaurant exceeded all my expectations and the service was fantastic, Colin was extremely attentive throughout the time we were dining and everything was extremely detailed, he was very knowledgeable about the wines and food, with every course he paired the perfect wine for us . We can't wait to return for another extraordinary dining experience with him at Marc. Highly recommended!
