Bonefish Grill

This is the best restaurant I've found out here in Gainesville. The cocktails rival those in most NYC bars. The food is good, well-priced and the staff attentive and friendly. The wine list is solid though safe, and perhaps a few European wines could be thrown in just for a little adventure, but the Francis Ford Coppola cabernet that I had was top notch. It helped that on our second visit the owner came over to introduce himself. He's from Long Island, New York! Here you could feel real Southern hospitality and the bar scene on the weekend, though early by New York City standards (7 pm it was packed!), was certainly cosmopolitan and fun. Click the title which will give you more info, and if you're visiting Gainesville, or anywhere else they have a location, go there!
