The staff is very friendly, takes time with you to help with ordering and is attentive throughout the meal. The setting is quiet, so a great place to have conversation. They make excellent cocktails, both traditional and house. Try their carrot-ginger martini - very nice. They make a great Paper Plane - one of my favorite cocktails. They also have a great French wine list to try. They have nice cheese and meat plates which is what we had. The deserts were tasty - basil crème brûlée, chocolate mousse, afo gato! Try this place out, I think you'll like it!

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.

Non-Alcoholic Drink that is must try was the Hibiscus Gimlet it's a House-made hibiscus tea, pomegranate, fresh lime & demerara Entrees: Top Steak pick--Chimichurri 8 OZ butcher's steak with broccoli & herb roasted potatoes. Topped with house-made chimichurri of parsely, cilantro, oregano, jalapeños, garlic, olive oil & vinegar. It was juicy, tender and savory. I recommend ordering it at medium temp.

My boyfriend got a cappuccino with strawberry syrup but we didn't really taste the strawberry in his. Regardless, it was delicious. We also got one of their biscotti which seemed like they made in house but I'm not sure. It was yummy, but definitely was not a very traditional recipe. It tasted more like a short bread than a biscotti but still very yummy. We walked out to the food truck to get some vegan bites and they definitely met expectations. The crabby patty was delicious with a great texture, and my boyfriends patty melt was also super good. We shared a mac and cheese and honestly I was full before we even got to that. The Mac and cheese was great but did taste a lot like coconut so if you're not into that then maybe veer away. The ambience was a mixed bag. The initial shop that you order the coffee in had a very cozy vibe with great decor. If you walk past the patio into the overflow seating the vibe changes a ton. The decor felt very uncanny valley, back rooms, like very odd. I think they need to work on that side of the property a little bit and make it more cozy. Maybe it's a work in progress or maybe they like it that way, I'm not sure, but it wasn't the sort of vibe that made me want to stick around. Overall great experience though! Will be coming back & hopefully I can get seating in the main shop ;)

After nearly four years I finally got a chance to check out Curia On The Drag. This place is hard…read moreto define: it's a bakery, an art space, a vendor marketplace, a podcast recording studio, a bar, a coffee shop, a food truck, a community event center. 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 invited my life long friend to lunch and thought it an interesting place for it. I'm of Russian descent and love Russian and Mediterranean food.

We ordered our meals, I ordered Borscht w/ Rye bread and sour cream as add ons, my friend ordered a Kebob platter of beef kebob, rice w/ kasha and salad. Food was most excellent! Environment comfortable, pleasant and interesting with its many assorted eclectic items on the walls, and ceiling. Air vents to the dining area were clean, free of dust or grime. A lot of pride is taken by the owners and small staff of this tiny place with most excellent food and service. I used to work in a 4 star private dining club.
