Pirates Grill - (Near Gainesville, FL)

Frederick Walter Stopped in for dinner with my beautiful. Started with the goat cheese, croquettes, and the hot honey pepperoni pizza the goat cheese croquettes were delicious, but they were very soft. I liked them more than my girl did. The pizza was huge and super delicious pretty greasy pizza but I mean, I like my pizza like that and it was super good. I got the blackened mahi-mahi sliders and the spicy ranch wedges. Everything super super delicious. The bar was insanely busy, however we were able to get seated at a two top incredibly quickly. Incredible atmosphere in there the DJ did a great job and it was so so busy if you’re looking for a popping bar on Sunday night of all nights like it was great it was incredibly popping off. The waitress was wonderful.

April Forbes Cafe Paradiso was such a wonderful surprise! We wanted to try something different while in town, and this place exceeded every expectation. From the moment we walked in, we were immediately greeted by several people and seated right away. The owners were absolutely amazing — welcoming, engaging, and genuinely passionate about the place. We had such a great time trying different whiskeys and hearing the stories, history, and conversation behind Cafe Paradiso. The Speakeasy upstairs is a must-see — such a unique atmosphere with incredible decor. Honestly, the decor both upstairs and downstairs is beautiful and adds so much character to the experience. Now, the food… AMAZING. Everything was full of flavor and absolutely delicious. I had the Bayou Blackened Unicorn Fish — hands down incredible. My husband ordered the Pollo Carnivale and loved it so much that he ordered it again the second time we visited. We also tried the Jalapeño Bacon Cornbread (delicious), Fried Green Tomatoes (soooo good), and the Sautéed Garlic Portobello Mushrooms — a must-have. They have an extensive whiskey selection, and my favorite was the 17-year Craigellachie. Dessert did not disappoint either! Chef Gypsy’s New Orleans Sticky Bun was outstanding and even better the next day. The Cinnamon Coffee Cake was packed with flavor and smelled amazing, and the fresh Beignets were absolutely delicious — also even better the next day. Overall, we loved it so much that we went back a couple of days later, and once again, the experience and food were top-notch. Cafe Paradiso is a true gem, and we can’t wait to return!

Terry Lopez We tried Chimiking after it being recommended by a family member. My husband is Puerto Rican and we always try to find an authentic Puerto Rican restaurant wherever possible. This one is a decent one that is close to authentic but not fully. The sorrullos were very dry and had a lot of masa. The alcapurrias were pretty good and the tripletta felt more like another sandwich instead of a true tripleta. My husband said he wished they would just stick to the original recipe. My chicken had no flavor and the white sauce was basically a watered down Alfredo. Wish I would have tried the red sauce. Overall would say worth a try but likely will try another one next time in town.

Nayely De La Cruz Surprisingly surprised with food quality and taste. We had the rangoon mozzarella sticks , poke bowl, and the korean bowl. All of which was questionable at a sports bar but ended up being delicious. Waitress was also very friendly!

Anita N. Most of our food was really good. They have exceptional customer service!!! Was a little disappointed in the four cheese grill. It needs to be on dense bread and pressed down. It was odd to have that bread with the cheeses and it was not tasty. The tomato soup was also not my taste. Brownies fall apart while eating. They could be thicker and easier to eat as brownies are not usually soft and crumbly. Everything else was great.
