Restaurants near Florida Museum Dickinson Hall

Everything was perfect! The food was sensational!!

As always Marks was wonderful. We love coming here! Our server (I can’t remember his name) was spectacular. Never wanted for anything and he made sure we had drinks without asking and checked in frequently. We had the pickled beet risotto and it was spectacular! Glad we went with the recommendation. As long as Marks is around it will forever be our go-to for wonderful food and service!

I’m still not sure why a 12% service charge is added. I asked the server and got some story about it being distributed to non serving staff. Sure seems to me it would be better if the restaurant paid sufficiently and handled it with the prices on the menu. At $200+ for two for dinner including wine dealing with this misc. added to my bill it doesn’t feel good. For me personally I found the staff great and professional and the last thing I would is stiff these folk with a low gratuity. BUT with the 12% already calculated it is hard to know how much to add to that.

Comfortable chairs and great view. Lovely evening.

Not their fault, but we sat outside, which was lovely, but there were two “kids” skateboarding on the sidewalk right next to our table. They were very loud. This is an issue for the Gainesville PD. Something for Amelia’s to bring up with them.
