Best Lunch Restaurants in Gainesville

Great service, friendly staff, courteous managers. The food was tasty!

I’m still not sure why a 12% service charge is added. I asked the server and got some story about it being distributed to non serving staff. Sure seems to me it would be better if the restaurant paid sufficiently and handled it with the prices on the menu. At $200+ for two for dinner including wine dealing with this misc. added to my bill it doesn’t feel good. For me personally I found the staff great and professional and the last thing I would is stiff these folk with a low gratuity. BUT with the 12% already calculated it is hard to know how much to add to that.

We eat lunch here on almost every visit to Gainesville. Super nice staff and so very accommodating. Love the lettuce wraps and hot & sour soup. Husband enjoys it less than I do, but has settled in on Mongolian beef as his favorite because it’s less sweet than other dishes. However, he does really enjoy the lettuce wraps and soup. The staff here makes it so enjoyable to eat here. Located in a very cute dining/ shopping complex in Gainesville.

Comfortable chairs and great view. Lovely evening.

Not their fault, but we sat outside, which was lovely, but there were two “kids” skateboarding on the sidewalk right next to our table. They were very loud. This is an issue for the Gainesville PD. Something for Amelia’s to bring up with them.
