Best Cozy Restaurants in Gainesville

Covey’s cocktails are delicious and always innovative. Our Tortellini Michelle was really great, cooked to perfection with tortellini al dente, steak tender, and gravy sooo good and not over-salted which happens too often in restaurants. The Rye-Spice cocktail was perfect—a touch of sweet but not too much. The All Things Vice cocktail with Titos, chai, pumpkin puree, espresso, Baileys with a dash of nutmeg on top was a heavenly after dinner drink to sip slowly. The key lime pie, a complete contrast to the All Things Vice, was outstanding and held its own. The lime was flavor of course stood out…you could see the zest in it—but it was not overly tart nor was it sickening sweet. It was perfection. Our server was friendly, knew the menu, and never missed a beat. She mentioned having just graduated (I would assume from college) and there she was, cheerfully working on Christmas, providing exceptional service.

Sensei continues to be my favorite restaurant in Gainesville. The food is delicious and luxurious. The service is second to none. Our server Kiki is always welcoming and our favorite. She enhances the experience with her attention to our needs. Always look forward to the next time I can return.

This was our first time there it was excellent we will definitely be back. Thank you justice.

The food was very good, from the shrimp caesar salad to the surf and turf. No complaints.
