The Dunbar

Exquisite in every way! The food is absolutely delicious and the presentation of each dish is so elevated. The ambiance is one of a kind. Every individual working there was genuinely warm and welcoming. The history of the hotel is very special. All-around good vibes. I'm so glad we celebrated his birthday here. My husband and I can't wait to return! (We ordered the octopus appetizer and oxtail ragu/short rib entrees.)

We had the pleasure of eating at The Dunbar tonight. Having loved everything I've tried at Germain's Chicken Sandwiches , especially their brunches, I had incredibly high expectations from Shelton and the crew. Each dish exceeded those expectations. This easily became the best spot to eat in Gainesville. Grab a reservation and give them a try! Find a way to save room for dessert, both are simply divine.

Everything about this place was well thought out & executed with so much attention to detail making it feel so cozy and refreshing. In a world of copy and paste establishments, The Dunbar is so different & interesting, each room having different elements but it all comes together so harmoniously. When you walk in you feel like you’re coming over to a close Friends place and enjoying great vibes and surrounded by a great staff and even better food.

Where do I begin with the Dunbar? From the moment I laid eyes on the menu I knew it was that little extra sparkle Gainesville has been missing. From the moment we arrived, I knew we were in for something special. From the beautifully renovated space to the perfectly crafted menu, everything about the Dunbar screams sophisticated chic. If you're considering visiting, I'd highly suggest trying a little of everything. We came with a group and everyone got something different. The octopus was so tender and flavorful, Caesar salad was big enough to feed the whole tables and the lamb was delicious. Next our main courses. I knew before I even took a bite of the short rib it was going to be amazing. It certainly did not disappoint nor did the oxtail ragu. For dessert, we tried both the cookie

Absolutely wonderful ambience. The food is spectacular. I had the fortune to try the ricotta toast, lamb chops, pork chops and butter beans, oxtail ragù, and the cornbread pudding for dessert. The décor is incredible and very in tune with the historical nature of the establishment. Additionally the service is very warm and inviting so this is a must try :)
