Avocados Restaurant — Restaurant in Gainesville

Phenomenal service and good! As We walked in the door, We were greeted by a friendly host who took Us to our table and told Us that our server would be Brittany. Brittany is on another level of hospitality!

She was kind, knowledgeable, and articulate. When i asked to sub out the egg for an avocado on the quinoa stir-fry bowl, she said of course without hesitation. When i told her my wife’s drink was a little weak, she brought Us a shot to spice it up. When explained that the POS didn’t put out goat cheese bread to the kitchen, she brought Us another order of brussels sprouts. Then, after dinner, she brought my wife a desert wishing her a happy 40th birthday. She definitely made our experience an amazingly memorable one.

As for the food, the other reviews nail it. The brussels sprouts were perfect with its balsamic vinegar, and the goat cheese bread profile with the olives were fantastic. My quinoa stir-fry bowl was also really excellent. Portion sizes were just right: not too big, not too small.

The only problem were the medallions that my wife ordered. They were supposed to be cooked medium (warm pink center), but came out medium rare (warm red center). Had i cooked the medallions myself though, i probably would have thought that the medallions were medium too because of their firmness. We just had a tough cut of meat which probably threw off the grill cook. We didn’t complain though, because everything else was perfect. i gave this rating 5 stars overall because of Brittany though. She really made our...

I'm terribly late posting this review, but I wanted to make certain that I word it right. Saturday May 13th was my husband's birthday, and I threw him a party. The owner David and the caterer Abbie worked with me on the menu and my budget for this party. There was fantastic communication with Abbie the entire time. When I arrived, Abbie gave me the menu that we and our guests would be ordering from. There was a wonderful variety of selections, and the food was fantastic! I HIGHLY recommend the truffle fries and the meatballs and....oh who am I kidding? I recommend ALL of it! Everyone ordered when they were ready, and it all arrived quickly. Abbie was absolutely wonderful. The restaurant was short staffed so Abbie took care of us. She's a delightful young woman who gave us her full attention and provided excellent service. She was kind enough to take the cake I brought in and keep it in the back until we were ready for it. She put the candles on it and brought it out for us. I couldn'tve asked for a better location, or person to help me with this party. Abbie took all the stress out of the planning. If you're looking for someplace to throw a party, then you don't need to look any farther than Avacado's. And be sure to save yourself a headache and let Abbie cater it for you. If you're not sure who to talk to, go to the sister restaurant Hopscotch and ask for Tony, he'll get you in touch with Abbie. 5 stars...

If you don't want the long version of my experince it boils down to over-priced,mediocre food, and bad service.

So I go to one of the local universities, so my roommate and decided to bypass our usual favorite, Atlas Pizza, to try thus place. We were seated unenthusiasticly, then had to guess what drinks they had, because we could not find any soft drinks on the menu. Then we saw that there was a small selection of $15+ entrees. So, I originally ordered the fish and chips, which tasted off and I began to feel nauseous. So, after trying to force myself to eat them I finally had to return it for the burger. My rommate couldn't eat there for personal reasons and asked waitress for a togo box while she was still there, which was not often even with the small amount of patrons. The waitress asked if the food wasn't good, which my roommate responded no, which is an okay question to ask, but then she was hostile asking then why did she need a box at all, making her explain some very personal issues that were better left unsaid. Finally, I get the burger and, while I'm positive I said well done, the burger was red in the middle. And to add insult to injury the fries were over cooked and had a weird texture. All around it was just a terrible experince that I will not repeat. Save your money and your stomach, just go...
