And on Sat and Sun they have a brunch menu, and we saw an item on the brunch menu we absolutely love the beignets, and as fate would have it they somehow were out of them, not off to a good start. We ended up ordering a couple other appetizers, they came out quick, and hot. And i was so ready to try their burger, it was ok, decent size and i got just the basic condiments with it , they put everything on the side so you can add it as you wish. Wife got a BLT and biscuits and gravy. We both left with a full belly. They also have a drink menu for brunch we chose the mango bellini , very tasty. Our server was very friendly and checked on us numerous times. Definitely worth a stop , next time i wanna try their pizzas.

Took a while for a very dead afternoon, but all the food was super fresh. Biggest con: it smelled like they mopped with stale mop water. Could use a little freshening up.

I celebrated my 42nd birthday at The Dunbar, and from the moment we walked in, the experience was…read moretop tier. I had friends come in from Gainesville and Ocala for dinner, so I wanted a place where we could eat well, relax, laugh, and enjoy the evening. The Dunbar delivered on all of it. The ambiance was beautiful, and our private dining area near the kitchen made the night feel even more personal. We ordered A LOT, and the food did not disappoint. The octopus was one of my favorites. Succulent, tender, and paired perfectly with the potatoes. I had the jerk chicken, and you could tell it was seasoned all the way to the bone. My wife had the oxtails, which were rich, flavorful, and paired beautifully with the sides. We also tried the miso cabbage, Haitian mac and cheese, Caesar salad, and prawns. Everything that came to the table was well prepared and full of flavor. The drinks deserve their own mention. My wife originally ordered the hibiscus tea, and it simply wasn't her taste. Other people at the table enjoyed it, but Shay, who I believe was our waitress and possibly one of the owners, immediately took care of it and brought her something different. And then came this BLUE non-alcoholic drink! I have no idea what it was called, but PLEASE put it on the menu if it isn't already there. Our table ended up drinking about six of them. It was easily one of the surprises of the night. What stood out most was the service and attention to detail. Shay was attentive, gracious, and accommodating to everyone at our table. Nothing felt like a problem or inconvenience. She paid attention to what people needed and made sure everyone was enjoying themselves. Even one of the guys working in the kitchen kept us laughing and added to the experience. The Dunbar understands hospitality. Great food matters, but when you combine it with atmosphere, attention to detail, personality, and service that makes your entire party feel welcomed, you have something special. You don't mind spending your money when the experience matches the price, and ours absolutely did. Great food. Great atmosphere. Excellent service. A whole vibe. Thank you for helping make my 42nd birthday dinner memorable. We will definitely be back!

My husband and I ended up here for happy hour with work friends this Friday after 5pm. Our happy…read morehour organizer was able to reserve their dining area for us so we didn't need to wait outside. Parking in their unpaved lot is limited to around 15 spots so if you go during a busy day, prepare for street parking. We were lucky to get a spot when we drove in. Our friends were waiting at the bar for us and the rest of our group. We were able to order from the bar menu and got drinks while we waited for the dining table area next to the bar to be cleared out. We also walked around the restaurant to check out the interior decorating. Since the building has history, the renovation-preservation of it is very interesting. The burgundy walls are an intriguing choice. Liz and Trey were our servers for the night. Drinks were served within minutes and our table was ready soon after. There were 10 of us so the food service was slightly slower since the place was pretty busy/full. Luckily, the drink orders were fast so refills were easy to get. My husband got a ginger beer, mocktail, and I had an old fashioned with woodford reserve bourbon. My drink was strong and made well :) We also ordered the roasted potatoes and Haitian macaroni. Potatoes were excellent - crunchy with just enough spice. Haitian macaroni was made with cavatappi cheese and it was delectably cheesy without being overwhelming. Both dishes were just enough for us to share. One of our friends ordered the jerk chicken and they said it was excellent. We spent about $73 for our food and drinks including tip. The bills for the party were separated prior to ordering and the waitstaff was terrific. As a side note, since our party was large, we had a 20% automatic tip added to our bill; I expected this and still tipped on top of that since Liz and Trey were so accommodating. We might go back again for a date night, but maybe when it isn't as busy. All in all, a nice first-time foodie visit!

The menu is extensive, you can get everything from stir fry to curries to fresh sushi, and there are plenty of vegan options to choose from. We had spicy margaritas, they were delicious and a bargain at $8 each! My pad Thai was delicious. There wasn't the option to select a spice option and none of the entrees leaned spicy, but sriracha was provided on request. Over the course of the meal we had about 4 separate servers taking care of us, and the food did take quite a while to come out after ordering, but it was well worth the wait!

So this place really delivered with both flavor and portion size. I ordered the General Tso shrimp,…read morewhich came with a side of rice, and the portion was huge..so generous that I happily had leftovers for lunch the next day. The dish was packed with big, crunchy battered shrimp (seriously, not skimpy at all) tossed in a bold, flavorful General Tso sauce. It had the perfect balance of savory and slightly sweet heat, with pineapple chunks, onions, and peppers mixed in for a fresh, vibrant contrast. Every bite tasted intentional and satisfying. I also tried the chicken spring rolls, which were crispy on the outside and hot and savory inside..classic, comforting, and well-seasoned. And the boba Thai iced tea? Absolutely amazing. It was rich, creamy, and deeply fragrant with that signature Thai tea spice, perfectly sweet without being overwhelming. The boba pearls were soft and chewy, making every sip feel indulgent and refreshing at the same time. One of the better Thai iced teas I've had in town. Overall, great flavors, generous portions, and drinks worth coming back for. Definitely a solid spot when you're craving something comforting and flavorful.

We stopped by after a football game around 9pm, and wondered why this place wasn't crowded. We…read morelearned that they had been only open for two weeks, so word still needs to spread about their opening. Approximately ten locally-owned restaurants line the perimeter of the space, with a centralized bar and a billiards table in the back. We bought food from Smash City, Gringo Taco, and Nori; and beverages from the bar. Everything was fine, but the stand out was the service from the bar staff. If you want to stop by somewhere with multiple options, this is a good spot.

I came here a couple weeks ago with a group of friends and we had a great time! We came before a…read morehome football game to grab something to eat and were quite satisfied. The food hall is fairly new and not all the stations are completely set up. That being said, they still had a great variety of things to choose from. Ranging from pizza, to tacos. to asian, to smoothies, they have something for just about anyones tastes! The hall itself is spacious and very clean. It has an industrial feel to it with dining hall sort of vibes. There are some really cute UF accents and decorations included as well. It wasn't too busy when we came, but they did have a DJ doing music. There were also several people enjoying the bar located in the center of the hall. The portions are decent sizes. Some of the stations portions are bigger than others. Which is nice because it allows you to sample and explore multiple things. I ended up starting at the Mexican station. They offered freshly prepared, customizable tacos, quesadillas, burritos, etc. I opted for a single taco, so I could try some of the other things offered. The tortillas are griddled with cheese in them, then topped with either chicken or shredded beef. You can choose from a nice selection of toppings including pico de galo, more cheese, lime juice, and an array of sauces. The taco had great flavor, but the cheese caused it to become "soggy" and fall apart. This made it particularly challenging to eat the taco. I then ventured onto the pizza station. They served focaccia styled square pizza with a thicker airy crust. It is almost reminiscent of a Sicilian styled pizza, but a little lighter. I opted for the pepperoni with hot honey added for an extra charge. The pizza was amazing! Served hot and fresh right out of the oven. The cupped pepperonis were heavenly and amply spread throughout the pizza. There was the perfect amount of hot honey to compliment to heat of the pepperonis. The cheese to sauce ratio was nice and the crust was chewy. It the perfect size for a personal pie or could easily be shared with a friend. I really enjoyed the pizza and liked the square style of it. Overall, I enjoyed the Gainesville Food Hall. They offer a nice variety of cuisines. It is family friendly and a great spot to grab a bite and hang out with friends. The space is clean and has an inviting feel about it. I really appreciate the idea of a food hall and think it is a great addition to Gainesville. Will be returning at some point in the future and cannot wait to try more!
