Our bartender said the burgers were great. We never associate Superette with a burger. A few days later we decided the burgers bare wonderful and on our list for a burger lust.

A friend had the burger with fries and a side salad, which he found very satisfying and filling. I had the Lebanese Hash which was delicious though not as big as you'd get at another brunch diner. Still I was full and happy, not stuffed and drowsy when done.

They have just changed management, and I since that happened I am seeing further improvements week after week..

When you walk in for the first time, there are so many happy and healthy looking plant varieties. I can see that they are very well-cared for. Tom greeted us soon after we got in and even told us about the salsa night tonight and wine flight (tastings) they have available. We ended up buying a Superfine chocolate bar, a Buddha succulent, a bag of chips, and a can of Ghia blood orange aperativo. Tom h I really liked the fresh smell and homey layout of the place! We'll be back again :) If you love plants and quality snacks (you'll have to try them to know) or enjoy wine tastings, definitely consider a visit!

I went to an Italian wine tasting at Beaker & Flask recently. If you don't know the place, it's a…read morewine bar with a monthly membership, and every so often they do wine tastings. So far I've made it to the Italian and Georgian tastings, and both have been a lot of fun. The place is really laid back. Great ambiance, soothing background music, and it's the kind of place where you can strike up a conversation with just about anyone sitting around you. It feels comfortable without being stuffy or pretentious. Josh, the assistant manager, and his team are all over customer service. They're friendly, attentive and seem to genuinely enjoy making sure everyone is having a good time. The tastings are fun, the wine flows, and you get to try wines you probably wouldn't otherwise come across. The membership is pretty reasonable too. You can also order food from the restaurant next door, and they occasionally have a food truck, so you can easily make an evening of it. To me, Beaker & Flask is kind of like having a secret living room where you can hang out, meet interesting people, drink good wine, and best of all, you don't have to clean up afterward. The only problem with writing this review is that I really don't want too many people to know about it. Because if everybody finds out about my little secret, I'm going to have to fight you for a seat.

It was my first time here celebrating a friend's birthday and I really enjoyed this wine bar. The…read morewine tasting was awesome and Josh (our sommelier) was very knowledgeable about the wines and pairings. The ambiance is very relaxing with mood lighting and comfy seating. A charcuterie board came with the wine pairing class but if you just would like some bites with a glass, daft cow and the food truck are in the same area. Definitely looking forward to come back!

By far this is my favorite place downtown. Don't get me wrong, I love Sidecar. I use to frequent…read moreBoca Fiesta but haven't been in years. The Top post COVID just hasn't done it for me anymore. Havana's is a cozy little bar in the old Half Corked/ next to Lillian's. Yes it is a cigar bar. They have several decent picks from Rocky Patel and standard Ashton etc. The drinks are usually very good including their Old Fashioned's. 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.

Unfortunately the cigar selection was limited and there's no walk in humidor- the bar maid basically gets the cigar for you . Got 2 cigars and espresso martini's . Both were good.

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!

I had the surf and turf satay and my companions had the smoked scallops and the lobster parpadelle. All amazing dishes. The satay had ALL the flavors ... great for those with FOMO. The Zongo is a house made creation that was perfect with the Sauternes. Also- the wine list is well curated and reasonably priced. Can't wait for them to open their new location!!
