    We had a quiet booth in the front of the restaurant across from the beautiful mahogany English style bar. This location was perfect for a private dining experience. The service was exceptional. We were given time to enjoy our meal and not feel rushed which is rare when compared with most restaurants in Gainesville. We ordered a ribeye steak with brandy pepper sauce. Cooked exactly as we requested and served on a warm plate. The jalapeño stuffed appetizer was exceptional. We look forward to going back.

    This 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!

    First time and wasn't disappointed. Service was excellent from the time we walked in the door until the time we exited. Very impressed with the service. Food was great although side dish wasn't hot, otherwise everything was great. Will visit again.

    What an excellent surprise. My friend and I came from different ends of the state for a long awaited girls lunch. We stumbled upon this local treasure and we had a wonderful lunch at this gem in Ocala. Our server was excellent. The food was beyond expectations. I even bought dinner for my hubby. Delicious. We enjoyed the onion and chicken appetizer plus the braised beef and crab cakes. The chef is a very gifted person. We will be back.
