The StayGainesville Connection: One of our owners, Susannah Peddie, has been eating at Dragonfly since 2002 and has seen the awesome evolution from a small space to a larger space, its expansion to Orlando and Doral, FL, and has enjoyed the ever-changing menu as they come up with new and delightful dishes. Her son, Phillip, born in 2006, learned to love Sushi because of Dragonfly.

Kaizen—to always be improving. The spirit that drives us. Fish flown in from Japan. Produce from the farm. Everything fresh. Our reputation rests on the creativity of every dish and drink. We find joy in every meaningful connection. And purpose in every detail.


What is Izakaya?

Savory. Artful. Authentic. Flavorful dishes and spirited concoctions. People gathered around the table. Friends. Neighbors. Family. Sharing dishes. Sharing thoughts. Sharing moments here in Gainesville Florida.
