Dragonfly Sushi Sake Company

O.M.Goodness so some backstory here, we are of massive and new york where the standards for high-price restaurants is stupid high and it is incredibly hard to stay in business unless they are eating at the point of the whole time. this place is up! the ramen bowl was amazing. I was looking for a crab salad, but they didn't have it on the menu, so I asked the waitress if they could do that and they exaggerated most places I was at. you eat is incredible. my man has one of the Sashimi guns and it is definitely worth the price. a fair warning; they go hard on their alcoholic drinks. the waitress, kayla is very friendly and they even know what is in every menu item and offered to explain.

The wagyu. I had the braided ribs, swarms with seals and the beginners Saki flight. all are worth the visit. the service is somewhat slow, so they expect a somewhat longer dinning experience, but eating is worth every minute of their time.

We were a few times and always enjoy the selection of food and innovative drinks. they should definitely be a reservation as they are busy.

On a Tuesday night through gainesville, on a road trip. there was a 20-minute waiting time and we were surprised. but now we understand why. great energy, great location, great eating!

Gainesville has a really good variety of food restaurants, likely because of the diversity of people around the University. Dragonfly has probably been our favorite restaurant in Gainesville for the past 10 years, until today. I know the head chef left, as last time I ate here was his last day in the kitchen. We shook hands and enjoyed a great meal. Today, there was actually a lot wrong with dining at Dragonfly. One of our favorite starters is the sautéed edamame, with the wiggly fish flakes on top. First batch came out extremely salty. after sending it back, the second comes out mostly burned. we order our favorites. There is the regular menu and then there is the hidden menu. ask for it, it has some off-menu good specials that were once on the menu but comes off. One of the favorites is the Eurotrance roll, from the off-menu list. Clearly who made it had never done this before, very messy. My Absolute fav is the Yellowtail Haku. Very, very tasty and on the regular menu. Alas, it never came. By the time I asked where it was, it had been forgotten. By now we're kinda done. Paid, left, had dessert elsewhere. Our favorite red wine was out of stock, edamame salty then burned, fav roll order forgotten, eurotrance a mess. Overall a BIG decline in quality. in 10 years we have not had a bad night at Dragonfly, until today. Degraded for sure.
