About Us
Blue Gill Quality Foods is owned and operated by Tara & Bert Gill, proprietors of Mildred's Big City Food and The New Deal Cafe. Established in 1999 Mildred's Big City Food serves high quality food crafted from locally sourced ingredients. By day it is a casual bistro-style setting, in the evening Mildred's offers some of the most sophisticated cuisine in the region with service to match. The menu changes nightly, while a fantastic wine list and delicious cocktails complete the experience. The New Deal Cafe, located next door to Mildred's, offers a variety of local award-winning burgers, entrees, and salads. Tables are available inside or out on the patio, as are daily drink specials. There's nothing better than a well-paired burger and beer. In 2011, Blue Gill Quality Foods opened its doors inviting friends and family to enjoy contemporary meals inspired by southern cuisine. Blue Gill offers local, fresh ingredients in dishes composed by a talented kitchen staff. Blue Gill also boasts a premium bar stocked with one of the largest collections of Bourbon and Tequila in the area. The meticulously crafted wine list features carefully selected wines from quality vineyards worldwide. In addition to the menu, Blue Gill features a specials board updated daily with new food and spirits. For private or more formal events, Blue Gill provides a venue known as the barn adjoined to the main dining room. From day one, the Gills and their staff have ensured that their restaurants not only offer delicious cuisine, but also maintain a community first orientation. While they purchase products from local farmers and artisans they also contribute to Gainesville in a more subtle manner. In 2008, Bert won the Florida Volunteer Restaurateur Award for his work as a mentor with the Eastside High School Culinary Team. Additionally, under Tara & Bert's careful guidance numerous Gainesville residents have had the opportunity to learn skills of the trade, which has allowed them to seek hospitality careers in competitive environments such as New York City, Chicago, and Atlanta.
