We checked this place out about a year and a half ago, so we wanted to come back and leave an…read moreupdated review. We arrived later on a Saturday night craving hibachi and sushi, and it definitely hit the spot. I ordered the steak hibachi with fried rice, and my husband went with the lobster roll. My meal started with a cup of miso soup and if you follow our adventures you know I love miso. They did not disappoint. It was hot, flavorful, and tasted freshly made with good ingredients. For a drink I ordered a Long Drink. We first tried these at a local festival and fell in love, so when we saw a citrus flavor we had never tried before we were excited to order it. My hibachi came out hot and smelled amazing. The steak was cooked perfectly and the sauce mixed into the rice was really good. I do wish they gave just a little extra sauce for the rice. The rice itself was a bit stiff, but the sauce helped a lot. We also came about an hour before closing, so we were not too bothered by that. Our waitress was good, and her coworker stepped in to help when she was busy, which we appreciated. I also liked that you can see the sushi chefs working right there, and my husband really enjoyed his roll. The restaurant was very clean, including the bathrooms, which always matters. I also have to mention the water because it actually tasted good. If you know, you know how rare that can be. They also have plenty of parking, which makes things easy. Overall we had a great experience and it was the perfect spot for a much needed date night.

All of the selections of liquor, wine, and beer are top notch and prices are definitely fair! I have zero complaints. When I'm in the mood for a good drink, I always come here and get an old fashioned...it's definitely the *chefs kiss* Fluid also has live DJs that care about the cocktail/lounge experience every Thursday-Saturday...they definitely set the mood and tone for the night. Also, If you get hungry throughout the night, you can head next door to world of beer and they'll take care of you. Their food is pretty bomb. I would recommend the chicken sliders or chicken tenders. So for what it's worth, you can order anything and you won't be disappointed. I haven't had a bad drink or a bad experience here yet and I do not see that happening. If you're reading this, come out and enjoy the night at Fluid. I can guarantee you'll want to come back again and again.

We can always know that if we are consistently looking for a good cocktail, I mean a real drink, not just some rum and coke, that Sidecar won't disappoint. I would always recommend whatever the drink of the week is and asking anyone behind the bar what they would recommend or if they are mixing up some new concoction you could try! I will say they are reasonably priced and it's a very low key atmosphere with high tops and their bar. It's a great spot!

The team is incredibly attentive and welcoming, and the atmosphere is small and intimate. Its not too loud, so it makes it a perfect for actually enjoying conversation. I also love that they have a rotating menu, so there's always something new to try. If you're in the mood for something specific, they're more than happy to make a custom drink if you just ask. It's such a special little gem.

As someone who loves to sing but does get some stage fright in front of a crowd, private room…read morekaraoke always seemed so fun and I'm glad we have a place in Gainesville. Prices are pretty reasonable at $6 an hour during the week or $8 an hour weekends (per person). I've been with a large group and just one friend and the rooms have all been well sized for the different party sizes. We just use the iPad/YouTube to bring up songs rather than the machine. It works well and gets to a good volume. The rooms always feel clean and have lots of seating and movable furniture if you get a little more carried away during your performances. The reason I knock off a star is I find the drinks to be sooo weak, which honestly might be by design...The 6 shot sampler of soju seems like a great value at $10. But my friend and I had 6 shots EACH within less than 2 hours and it barely did anything at all. My friend VERY much a lightweight (like a 4-5/10 off of one shot) so that's how I know they're weak. They seem like soju diluted with lots of juice, which is refreshing but it's not like buying soju at the store and taking shots of it. I will say the bottles/cans are a great value at $4, but if you're looking to be tipsy/drunk while performing I would definitely recommend doing a little pre-gaming before you come. I understand they don't have a liquor license but it would be nice to have some stronger drink options available. The staff here is always super friendly and gives you a lot of privacy. This is a really chill experience and I've always had a really fun time. I just wish the drinks were stronger!

They do have a wine self serve station when working and that's a nice little option. I highly recommend this place if looking for a nice place to sit and enjoy a drink and people watch though.

I came with a friend for dinner and we got food from the food truck, where all of the menu options are 100% plant-based. I got the mojo tacos and for my chosen protein I went with the fried fishless filet. The two tacos came on corn tortillas with pico de gallo, queso fresco, pickled red onion, mojo sauce, and lime. Each bite was so refreshing! The lime gave a citrus kick to the sweet pickled red onions. The fried fishless fish was tender and flaky like real white fish. I was thoroughly impressed with Curia and think it's one of the most unique places in Gainesville. Check it out!
