About the restaurant

Prime & Pearl is a sublime, delightfully original chophouse in Gainesville, Florida that believes unexpected, flavorful pairings lead to something magical. From steaks, dry-aged for 35 days to uniquely crafted cocktails, dining at Prime & Pearl is an experience. One you won’t soon forget.

Our focus is on bringing things together—often unexpected things—to make something creative and authentic. We believe a sense of wonder is an integral part of every memorable dining experience in our space.

Enjoy a local, hand-selected 25-ounce Porterhouse ribeye perfectly dry-aged on-site. Taste an array of oysters from our own gulf waters up to the shores of New England and Canada. Choose a unique steak knife that reflects your personality. Quench your thirst for originality with a personalized Prime & Pearl Bourbon or Whiskey. Whatever you do, don’t eat ordinary.

Meal was good. Service was good. Atmosphere was good. We are fortunate enough to have a GREAT steakhouse in our home town. Unfortunately every time we visit a different steakhouse we compare it to this one. Having said that, this restaurant was not worth the price.

First time at the Gainesville location and we were impressed. Kara was a fabulous server, and we thought every dish was excellent, from the calamari to the chopped salad to the 20 ounce ribeye to the Thai chili and garlic risotto to the chocolate mousse dessert. We shared every dish and have leftovers to enjoy another day.

What an amazing evening. Our table was ready upon arrival with a hand written greeting card to honor an Anniversary. The entire staff, even members of the culinary team stopped to wish a Happy Anniversary to my parents. Nicole and Boris, the Managers, were gracious and so attentive. Our food- amazing!

Not their fault, but we sat outside, which was lovely, but there were two “kids” skateboarding on the sidewalk right next to our table. They were very loud. This is an issue for the Gainesville PD. Something for Amelia’s to bring up with them.

This has become one of my favorite places. I just wish they had more variety in food choices. Maybe some lower sodium meals.
