Civilization - Gainesville

I really wanted to rate this place higher. I heard so many Rave reviews about this place that I finally tried. Right from...

This is about good food, friendly staff and lunch with Mom at Civilization and full for the rest of the day! Civilization has high quality...

Civilization I love a brunch! Civilization is a fantastic place to eat brunch! Until Kiki's and Peach Valley caliber, if not anymore. Here's...

Nice place, chill vibe.. Waiting time was at least 15 min to sit, 10 min for drinks, and 30 min for food. Great menu and options, fresh local food (drink pretty small) The service was fine, serving without too much effort. Overall seems like designed to sell food, good food, but less of a restaurant experience.

When we visit Gainesville two or three times a year we make a point of having a meal at Civilization. It has become one of our favorites! The ingredients are fresh and the recipes are innovative such that these dishes are not offered in our area, for sure! We began with an order of Lemon Ricotta Bengiets which I highly recommend. Someone at the table will always have Swamp Eggs; we feel it's the best thing on the menu! Whoever came up with the idea of collard greens, potatoes and eggs is a genius. This time we added grits Florentine and the Challah French Toast. There were multiple orders of Applewood bacon on the table all expertly prepared. The service is attentive without hovering and the atmosphere is delightful. Everyone is relaxed and enjoying themselves!
