The Shula's StoryEstablished in 1989, Shula's Steak House started with one goal in mind - to carry on the legacy of Coach Don Shula, one of the greatest coaches in NFL history. 30 years later, we've taken that goal and run with it. We're proud to offer the highest quality steaks, fresh-caught seafood, and tantalizing sides.Inspired by CoachWinners are a different breed. Winners work hard, winners value the small details, and winners never cut corners.When Coach Don Shula opened the first Shula's Steak House in 1989, he took his winning formula to a whole new level. He wanted to provide the highest quality steaks in a warm, inviting setting. There's an ethos to excellence - it doesn't matter if you're coaching an undefeated football team, or grilling up a porterhouse - we make sure we live by it.

Shawn Shepherd, owner of Wahoo Seafood Grill, grew up helping his mom cook for his six siblings. His family moved from Ohio to Tennessee to Alabama and then to Mississippi, but no matter where they lived, you could always find Shepherd learning how to create a new dishes alongside family, friends, and neighbors... anyone who would let him in their kitchen. He especially loved visiting his grandfather, who owned a seafood restaurant in Pennsylvania. When Shepherd joined the Navy, he wanted to be a cook, but the Navy wouldn't let him because his testing scores were too high. After nearly 7 years, he was honorably discharged and he worked as a cook by day and bartender by night. Eventually, he opened his first restaurant, Shepherd's, in 1999.He went on to operate several successful restaurants after that, and in 2013, he partnered with Butch Monaghan. Together, they opened Wahoo Seafood Grill in Gainesville followed by the Tallahassee location in 2015.

    My husband and I had a great experience at Prime and Pearl. We travel frequently inside out of US and to Japan and have had various experience at steak restaurant and we never thought we would find such a gem in Gainesville. Our server, Diego, was outstanding. Timing, friendliness, service were all fantastic. We plan to visit frequently.

    Mark’s Prime Steakhouse offers an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. The atmosphere is elegant and intimate, perfect for a special occasion or a refined night out. The steaks are cooked to perfection, with a rich, melt-in-your-mouth quality that sets them apart. Their selection of sides and appetizers, like the lobster mac and cheese or the grilled asparagus, complements the mains beautifully. The service is attentive without being overbearing, ensuring every need is met. Whether you’re a steak lover or just looking for top-tier dining, Mark’s Prime Steakhouse never disappoints. Highly recommended!

    Another wonderful meal at Amelia’s. Started the Ceasar salad and then on to entrees. My wife had the chicken Marsala and I enjoyed the grouper mugnaia. Finished the evening w the cheesecake. A very enjoyable dining experience. Our server, Rhianna was just a delight.
