Swordfish

Don't really see how this is a Michelin Star restaurant. Came in for one of their dinners and ordered most of the menu with my family to sample everything they had to offer. The most expensive thing on their menu was the steak and 3 of us ordered it, once it arrived the sweet potato mash or puree they had with it was cold on every plate weird choice. They had mushrooms on top of the sweet potato with an XO sauce or something and was so spicy no one could eat it.

Cute place and packed on a Saturday morning at 10 AM. We walked in and got on the list, waited about 25 minutes. A long line shortly ensued. How long did they wait? The parking lot looked ample but was full, we were able to park across the street. Coffees were good, standard fare and options for a coffee shop. They have a nice array of pastries. Service was fine, it took a good amount of time to get our order but it was worth the wait. I got avocado toast which was amazing. The avocado (mostly mashed) sat on top of wafer thin slices of cucumber, radish and onions. On top were 2 eggs and micro greens. All of this on a thick slice of sourdough. Excellent. The girls shared a turkey club , it was huge, they really really liked it, a lot! This accompanied by a side of potatoes, also yummy. Good spot for sure.

I ordered the club and whipped feta with seasonal toppings. Club was good and comes with a garlic aloli. Even with the sauce it fell short. We tried to order a cinnamon bun but were told they were out of all their pastries due to other patrons who arrived earlier than us. We got there at 2pm. Would I go back, no.

This place is so fire every single time! It's collective aesthetic is top tier and every time I eat here I feel like I'm the main character in some indie film. The food itself is delicious and I love how fresh the ingredients are. The menu offers the perfect variety without including too many options. I like that they have seasonal items as well to keep things interesting. Next time I'm in Gainesville, I will be back! The service was so great, and the walkability to local stores was very stimulating. I was able to visit a plant store, a record store, and the best thrift store I've been to in Gainesville.

On my Gainesville matcha tour, my latest stop at afternoon has me running back for their seasonal rosemary mint Matcha latte. Afternoon also makes it so easy with their pick up window to save time from going inside to order, but you still get the friendly service at the window. In comparison to their typical syrups, this one really stands out. From the freshness of the mint and the earthy rosemary, this is such a great profile flavor to compliment an iced Matcha latte. The drink is presented so beautifully with a pretty green color mix mixed in with fresh mint leaves and rosemary. Highly recommended to try this syrup out as it is only around for a limited time.

Amazing and unique food you can't get anywhere else! The staff is also always friendly and kind! I've tried a lot on the menu, and my top favs are the egg and cheese on focaccia, the blueberry scone, and an iced latte with oat milk

Food was delightful! We were there at 9 am as the restaurant opened. We had to wait several minutes as the people ahead of us in line were seated. The hostess was pretty rude after finding out that we didn't have a reservation. We were fine sitting outside on the patio with shade and fans. The patio was completely empty and the restaurant was 75% empty so we aren't sure why she was so put out with us arriving for our first visit without reservations. The rest of the staff made up for her rudeness by their friendliness and prompt attention. The food was fantastic! The French breakfast was delicious and the sourdough toast topped with whipped feta and tomatoes was a winner. Since it was a weekend day, we tried the cinnamon roll and they were great as well. We will be back, despite our initial lack of welcome.

Ricotta toast with Roselle jam

Amazing food and fantastic service! Best in town. The dinning room was clean and cozy. The staff were very attentive and knowledgeable and had a great appreciation for the products. Can't wait for Afterdark!

Rapidly eaten cinnamon bun. Best item in the house.

Price above quality, hype is overdone. Sausage on combo was way overcooked. Pancakes average.

Turkey Club

I give it a 3/5 only because the food was actually pretty decent. We were told 20 minute wait, which we completely understood as we were a walk in & so I placed a coffee order while we waited. I didn't get my coffee until an hour later and that was after we kept going up to the window 3 times for updates. The food was pretty good, however the wait times for the food & the coffee to me weren't worth it.

Love coming here and every visit is such a treat. I got the chicken salad and burrito and split the potatoes with my bf. I also had a salted caramel iced latte with whole milk. Everything was delicious. The crispy potatoes are always a must for me. I love that they have seasonal offerings and they are always changing up the menu depending on what's in season. Service was good but server seemed to be annoyed at us because we were taking awhile to order and looked bothered . Other than that you can tell everything is made in house. I loved the chicken salad and I'm by no means a lover of them but this one changed my mind. Loved the pickles inside and the rye bread took me by surprise in a good way. Their potato chips that come with it are addicting and sliced thinly, it's amazing Joe they make their own instead of resorting to bagged. I love the way they make their eggs fluffy and everything is just simple but elegant. This is one of those must visit brunch places in Gainesville.

Went here 2 different times, both with similar experiences. We came on the weekend and were seated fairly quickly. Unfortunately, the food took over an hour both times to arrive, and the menu was out of the few items we really wanted to try. While the vibe is very cute and has a great atmosphere, the quality of food itself is subpar at best. For those who enjoy quality matcha, this is not the place. It was very milky and not strong. I got a Salmon Toast, and the bread was so rough, it hurt my jaw. The prices are also extremely steep for the portion of food you receive. If you do come here, I would say it is more for the vibes and photos than the food itself. However, sometimes the presentation will differ depending on the day (e.g. glass cups, plastic plates, etc). My favorite thing would definitely be the coffee, which is very tasty and worth the cost. Overall, I would only come if you have time to spare, as they are often backed up and really busy.

I've been to Afternoon a lot and everything is delicious. The breakfast sandwich is maybe the best I've ever had (it's on foccacia!).

We were in town for a concert and booked a reservation at Spurrier's Gridiron Grill about a week…read moreahead of time. Definitely glad we did, because I'd highly recommend getting a reservation here. We went on a Saturday around noon and found out they do a buffet brunch until 3pm. I wasn't expecting that at all, but it ended up being awesome. The shrimp and grits were amazing. I don't know what they put in those grits, but they were seriously scrumptious. The chicken wings and sliders were also really good. The place itself is really nice and well put together. Our server was good too and even gave us some recommendations for breweries in the area, which was appreciated. Overall, great food, great service, and a really nice atmosphere. Highly recommend.

We LOVE this place. We frequently drive from central Florida to Georgia and always make time to…read morestop here for dinner (and even brunch occasionally). The lobster bisque is the best I've ever had. The house salad is yummy with the garbanzo beans, pepitas and vinaigrette dressing. The pork chop is unbelievable. The glaze in the carrots that accompany the pork chop are incredible. I ordered the Cobb salad with grilled shrimp and it was delicious. Service is always on point and the entire staff is always so friendly. The inside is like an upscale sports bar meets a nice restaurant with the coach's memorabilia throughout the space as well as a podcast room in the middle of the restaurant. If you are lucky, you might even get to see coach while you are there!
