This new restaurant is a very exiting development for sushi lovers in Gainesville. Brought to you by the brilliant owners of Dragonfly Sushi, Rolls and Bowls does for sushi what Moe's does for Mexican food. The result is the same great food you can get at its high class sister restaurant at a fraction of the price and none of the wait. I especially liked the sushi bowl concept which is a bowl of white rice with various sushi toppings of your choice that proves just the right amount for a light lunch and at a reasonable $7.50. You can also customize your own sushi rolls or pick from a reduced version of Dragonfly's famous menu.

Because of its odd location I have found that few other than the natives are aware of this pizza lover's haven. This restaurant is so unique and its food so good that it should be in every Gainesville visitor's guide. As simple as the pizza pie is, there are few establishments (outside of Chicago and New York) such as this that strive to make a really good one. Another plus is their small but well-chosen wine and beer selection. Don't forget to complement Satchel when he comes out to greet you after your meal.

People often ask me where they can get a good steak. My usual response is "how much are you willing to spend?" This is because the best steak in Gainesville will cost you about $35 at Marks. "Is it worth it?" is usually the next question. This question is more difficult to answer because while it is a great steak I have had much better for less money. On the other hand, everything from the classic 50's style atmosphere to the side dishes and wine list are superb. I would recommend it to be tried at least once, after that it depends on your pocket book.
