    After dropping our daughter off for UF’s Summer session, we were a bit exhausted and in need of something special to lift our spirits. The amazing staff at Mark’s did just that, and so much more!! Our server Jeremy quickly established himself to be attentive and very personable, offering several suggestions that would ultimately make our evening unforgettable! From the martini opener, to the buttery/garlicky classic escargot, to the best sourdough bread loaf and classic butter presentation we’ve ever had, to the 45 day dry aged, perfectly crusted ribeye, and finishing with a dessert trio for the ages, THIS is a foodie mecca! All crafted with care and precision by Chef Jackie Outar, we know we’ll be in great hands with return visits. Also of note, their premier wine list offerings are mostly priced just over retail to allow additional accessibility to their customer base! Compliments to Jeremy, his assistant Will, and GM Ben Pratt for curating a team of professionals that truly put the customer first. Cheers to Mark’s, which will be our dining destination each and every time we return to Gainesville!!

    We've never been to a Mark's Prime Steakhouse so we decided to try it. Unfortunately, as much as we wanted to like it, we were disappointed. Right when you walk in it smells of burning rubber. I've been to many high end steak houses and this isn't what I'm used to smelling. Smokey is what I was expecting...not burning rubber. I ordered a medium New York strip which was very fatty and extremely chewy. My better half had the petite filet which was just ok and was paired with the bearnaise sauce. The sauce seemed to be where the burning rubber smell came from so that was a hard no for us. Although our server was friendly and made us feel welcome, we felt she was trying to rush us through our dinner to turn the table quickly. For the price we were paying, and in comparison to other steak houses, the customer isn't usually rushed into ordering their meal within the first 10-15 minutes of being seated. We had to let the server know not to rush our order as we were wanting to relax and enjoy the evening. Maybe we caught them on an off night in the kitchen but we were disappointed with the quality of the steaks for the price we paid.

    Took a friend to celebrate her birthday. We loved the upscale atmosphere (white tablecloths, well paced service). The butter poached lobster tails were tender and tasty, as were the vegetables. The drinks were delicious and sophisticated, the wine list is extensive and marked up much less than other restaurants. A great place for a celebration!

    Our special go-to Resturant in Gainesville FL. Christof was great and complimented the entire experience. Stay at home during ANY UF graduation, parents weekend, etc.

    It is a deep narrow establishment, with a bar along one wall and separate dinning rooms (I counted three) and a variety of seating styles. I was seated in a small room with booths on both sides of a passageway off of the wait station. It was a Wednesday night, I had a reservation for two at 6:45 and arrived a little ahead of my guest. I had a brut rose champagne while waiting. It had been years since I had dined there and virtually nothing had changed: White table cloth, black napkins, low but sufficient lighting and a varied menu, not unlike other expensive restaurants. There was little to recommend the "ambiance of this room, but it was quiet and comfortable. We shared the lobster sliders and crab cakes for appetizer. Both were very tasty and sufficient for two, and I had a vodka Gibson. A rare treat as classic cocktails have all but disappeared. My guest had what he described as a very good porter. We were not in a hurry, but because they closed at 9 p.m. I had the 11 oz filet while my guest had the smaller filet. The steaks were superb, aged well and prepared to our order. We shared, easily, 3 sides: corn, potatoes and asparagus. The corn was prepared with meat, very oily, the potatoes were soggy fried in some kind of batter and the asparagus was unseasoned and under grilled. I had an Old Fashioned after, another well crafted cocktail. The total bill was around $265.00, w/out tip. The wait staff was understanding and attentive, as we were the last customers to leave. I will likely return.

    Fine but far from great. Steaks were overcooked or undercooked, in each case by a significant amount. For a steakhouse that really is quite poor product. I’m being kind not to mark lower scores.
