Any updates on good places to catch dinner tomorrow. Looking for the best mix of good food and atmosphere. Unique is preferable

---

The Top - cool atmosphere, maradona burger is amazing (downtown)
Dragonfly - good japanese/sushi (downtown)
Sabore - probably best overall restaurant (about a 10 minute drive down Newberry)
Embers or Marks steakhouse- best steakhouses but pricey
Flying Biscuit- breakfast
Leonardos 706 - ask to sit in the back room if you go, cooler atmosphere. good food

A sleeper pick is a food truck called Ameraucana Wood Fire, best pizza in gville.

Other things you could do is check out Swamp Head Brewery and First Magnitude Brewery (which just opened up).

FYI: Metered parking is lifted I think after 5 or 6 today and through the weekend. I also believe Uber is in gville now. You can also get around on the city buses last time I knew it was $1 to get on.

if you have time, Ginnie Springs is about 30 mins north and you're able to float down the river and drink some beer.


Gainesville is awesome if you actually know where to go, F the haters.
