For a leisurely,good and interesting breakfast, Gainesville's best choice is Ivy's. We like the benedicts, the homefries, the non- greasy biscuits, and the rich-in-vegetable options. This is not a chain,and also not the place to go if you are in a hurry.

Lunch is also good, with a competent but limited menu. We haven't eaten dinner there in several years. Back then it was inconsistent.
