Avocados Restaurant

First time coming here. We met some friends we haven’t seen in a while on a Friday night. There was a pretty good crowd but we made reservations ahead of time since we had a party of 7 so we didn’t have to wait. Started off with Calamari which was great. I took our servers suggestion and ordered the Basil Cream Chicken and Shrimp. I was not disappointed! It was fantastic! My wife got the Chicken and Mushroom Alfredo which was great too. Our friends ordered a couple appetizers, the guacamole and chips, and also the hummus and chips. Both awesome! Our server, Evan, did a great job handling our party’ and knew the menu very well. He kept our drinks full, empty plates off the table, and made sure we had everything we needed. We had a great experience and will definitely return! Oh, and the praline cheesecake was the bomb!!!

I took my staff here for a holiday Lunch. Each one of our meals was great. Our waitress was outstanding and the pricing was fair. I have come several times for Brunch on Sundays, but lunch was awesome too.

Just walked out of a very pleasant dinner. I ordered simple, soup of the day (broccoli cream) and the goat cheese appetizer. I enjoyed every bite and left wanting more. My boyfriend got the chicken mushroom Alfredo with red potatoes and enjoyed it very much! Service was great and it was a breath of fresh air to see Christ displayed throughout. We were sad to hear a lot of other pieces were taken down due to other past Google reviews. We should remember to be inclusive!

Support your local businesses 🙂 staff is kind and the the food is a nice variety. 😍 I always enjoy my time here. Outside sitting if available is pet friendly. Try the burger. And I loved on this visit I tried the Boozy Caramel macchiato. Delicious 😋🤤😍

One of our favorites on the square. Great cocktails, and we love the calamari. Good menu with some creative variety for the area. Lots of gluten free options. Live music and great service make it a go-to spot.

I had the most wonderful New York Strip served with a peppercorn demi-glace, together with delicious vegetables yesterday evening. Not forgetting excellent wine.

Great service and excellent street/square atmosphere.

The very best,

Great outside atmosphere, great food and service.

Love eating here from time to time. The food never disappoints. Their gluten free chicken tenders are so good and their fries are amazing. And if you have room, the flourless chocolate cake is wonderful.

Had lunch with girlfriends here and it was great! Service was good and the food was excellent. Prices were very reasonable! Will definitely be back.

Efficient service during lunch. Nice ambiance to sit outside. Lunch menu seems somewhat limited but doable. Photo is of the avocado and spinach quesadillas. I asked to have a protein added, chicken. It was a very satisfying sandwich. Well prepared, tasty and nicely proportioned. Overall, a great experience and a great place to visit.

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 dinner special. ❤

My daughter and I love this restaurant. They have many gluten-free options, and everything we have tried has been very tasty.

We had Evan as our server. He was absolutely lovely. The food was good, and the outdoor seating was very agreeable.

Incredible restaurant with delicious food and very attentive service. We came for brunch and the food was amazing and the kids loved it too. We will definitely go back again soon.

Just had my daughters 16th Birthday here. Everyone was super nice and accommodating. The food was great! Everyone had a great time. We will definitely be back!

BEST. BRUSSEL SPROUTS. EVER.

Wandered through for Sunday brunch again and it was very good. Something new to the buffet line (or at least I don't remember it from before) is the Brussel sprouts and carrots. Don't know if they were done in a pan, roasted off on a sheet pan, whatever, but they were absolutely perfect with a balance of flavor I have not gotten anywhere else. Kudos to today's kitchen! I actually ended up eating nearly a whole plateful of them!

_____________________________________________

Cheese ravioli with chicken, mushrooms, and tomatoes in a creamy pesto sauce was very good. The sauce was really the star of that dish!

Fish and chips... well, the fries were good... the fish was breaded fish pieces that may have been fried or possibly baked? The breading honestly has me believing that these were poured out from a frozen box or bag. Live and learn, won't order again.

Guacamole was good, chips were okay, just wish we could have toned down the jalapeno.

Pork belly was a good dish. The slaw, with the sweet chili sauce, and the pork all at once is a bite you can love. Great balance and play of texture. A must do on a return trip!

Waitstaff was awesome! On time, never pushy, and great to chat a moment with. And absolutely knew every dish we asked about! Love that!

Love that they don't sit children at the bar because bad parents don't know how to make reservations. Most of us that sit at the bar don't want children next to us.

Busy for lunch, street parking limited, but garage is close. Seated quickly, even while busy. Food very good, service while busy OK. Bathrooms could use updating.

I love this restaurant! We sell homes around Lake Lanier, and every time we have an out of town buyer visiting, we alway take them to Avacados. It is so unique, local, and their menu has something for everyone.

This is one of my favorites in Gainesville because EVERYTHING on their menu can be ordered gluten free...and it is delicious!!! I got the bacon cheeseburger with GF bun, but the praline cheesecake is TO DIE FOR.
