- SSharonJacksonville / Northeast Florida •12 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoThis is our third Valentine’s Day meal at Mildred’s and each time we ask ourselves why we don’t eat here more often! The fixed price meal was amazing, with great options for salads/soups, entrees and especially desserts. We enjoyed the wedge salad and the carrot salad, as well as the lamb and swordfish entrees. Each was unique and perfectly prepared. The cakes and cheesecakes are to die for! Oh and we truly loved the cocktails too!More infoMildreds Big City FoodPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Gainesville•4.7
- AAnitaOrlando / Central Florida East •6 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoSuch a great time! Our anniversary dinner was delicious, elegant, and we received top tier service. On arrival, we found a 4x6 framed "Happy Anniversary" sign on our table, along with a handwritten card from the staff, wishing us a happy anniversary and thanking us for celebrating at Shula's. It was a very nice, personal touch and an extra level of service. Our server was attentive, friendly, and timely. He cheerfully helped us pair wines with our meals (and did an excellent job) and helped us navigate the dessert menu's wide variety of options. And as an anniversary gift, Shula's gave us dessert complimentary! Our food came out in a timely manner and was delicious. I have a garlic and onion intolerance and receiving flavorful meals when dining out is a challenge, but the Shula chef prepared a beautifully flavored seabass for me and even prepared a customized sauce --an accompaniment I usually have to forgo when dining out! I can't express how happy I am when I can eat a flavorful meal despite my garlic/onion intolerance. It's always the mark of a good chef when they creatively lean into all the other available spices and flavors, and I'm always so appreciative. My husband ordered the seared scallops and they were also prepared perfectly and generous in size. The atmosphere was quiet and elegant with high back dining chairs that lent an extra level of privacy and comfort. Even though it was a Thursday night, the restaurant was full, which I was glad to see. We had a lovely experience and highly recommend the Shula's Steak House in Gainesville. We'll be back!More infoShula's Steak House - GainesvillePrice: Very Expensive• Steak• Gainesville•4
