Delicious meal, nice and quiet, and great service. Also saw Jerry Stackhouse dining there.

The atmosphere is very nice. The staff was great. The ribeye I ordered didn’t have much flavor. It tasted as if cooked with no seasoning at all.

We have dined at other Shula locations and were very disappointed with this location. The server was not properly trained. They were out of lobster. They were out of several of the wines we tried ordering. They are in the process of changing the wine list was their reason for this. The bread was good, but the butter had an odd flavor. My filet was not cooked properly and very difficult to cut. I actually cut a good portion of the steak away and did not eat it. The server did not ask if there was a problem with it. The brussel sprouts were so burnt they were inedible; again server removed a full dish and did not ask if there was a problem. The chocolate cake was dry and stale. The place was not busy, but we were sat by a swinging door that was quite loud and busy with servers walking through with food. When the manager did round on the table and asked how it was, I was honest and told him we were disappointed. He explained that it was difficult to find people to work. We definitely will not return there.

Very nice restaurant would recommend for a special occasion, food was well prepared and service was excellent.

All was quite good!

Shula's in Gainesville did not meet our expectations in food quality or the ambience for a place that was not very busy. Aiden, our waiter, was pleasant and attentive.

This was not the fine dining experience we anticipated. Our favorite restaurant in Gainesville is Embers (especially for filet) so everywhere we try gets compared to Embers. The service was actually average at best. The server didn't offer us bread, we had to ask for it when our salads came. After a few minutes, we flagged the server down to ask for more salad dressing. By the time she brought the dressing I was almost done eating the salad. Our dinner and a la carte side were brought to the table and one of the sides was wrong. It took a while for the server to come by and check on us. I told her the side was wrong and at this point not to just take the wrong one back and not worry about bringing the correct side. She offered to have the side made to go but that wasn't the dinner experience I was looking for.

Now the food. I ordered a Caesar Salad (for $11). Most of the salad was the crunchy part of the Romaine and had very little dressing on it. There were some croutons and shredded parmesan cheese. It looked like a salad you might pay $4.95 for at Applebee's. The House Salad wasn't impressive either. The bread was just a plain bread, maybe sourdough, and the butter had an odd flavor to it, not in a good way. I ordered the Filet and had it Pittsburg style. The Filet was the highlight of the meal. It was seasoned well and very tender, but not very juicy. The Salmon was flavorful but was seared too much and too crisp. The pan-seared brussel sprouts were beyond pan-seared. They were burnt and they tasted burnt.

We had 2 salads, one a la carte side, and two dinners and the check was $117 (thankfully we both drank water). We are more than happy to pay good money for a fine dining experience and excellent food, but our experience at Shula's Steakhouse was neither. I'm sure it gets a lot of patrons from people staying there at the Hilton, but I would recommend people drive about one mile south to Embers and you won't be disappointed!

The atmosphere was warm and inviting. Our server was attentive, concerned for our gastronomic experience and made all our requests come true with a smile( I assume as he wore a mask) . The food was spot on as ordered and came in a fashionable time. We will be back for sure.

Shula’s was great. Our steaks were cooked perfectly and the portions were great and we had to take leftovers home. Service was awesome from our server Gabriela. The food was only 4 stars because the style of the steak and how it was seasoned and grilled wasn’t my favorite and I’ve had better, but it was still very good and I’d recommend it to anyone.

The food was served very hot, that's about the best thing I can say about this experience.

Shrimp was brought to the table unclaimed. No decaf coffee. So so service. Very loud. Manager walked by numerous times never stopped to ask how our experience was.

Just my opinion, I will not be going back to this local restaurant.

Service was slow and the poor staff is undertrained.

Excellent service! Excellent food! We will be back!

Being from Miami, we have been to many Shulas. This was absolutely the worst steakhouse experience I’ve had in a very long time. We were shocked to learn that the steaks were choice rather than prime. My mother in laws scallop dish was the worst, as it came out tasting like ammonium. She could not eat it and had to send it back. The drinks were ok and the waitress has no idea how to pour a glass of wine as she emptied the entire bottle into our glasses on one go. Definitely not a classy pour. Our waitress did her best but was definitely lacking training. Oh— and to top it all off our first table was wobbly so we moved to a different table, and that table was dirty with crumbs and old onion all over the seats. Overall very unimpressed.

If you want to pay $60 for an over cooked Applebee's steak. This is your place. Horrible food, wait staff was great though!

Ashley was a fantastic waitress, very attentive yo my wife and I. Great food and good drinks. Love Shula’s steaks

Quiet, great food too!

Amazing and delicious! Wonderful experience would definitely return !

My husband and I have Thanksgiving dinner every year at Shula’s. . . It never disappoints. Food is great, this year I have spacial dietary needs and they more than accommodated. The food was great, our server Sarah was absolutely wonderful! Sarah was very attentive to our needs, she was spot on!

Came to Shula's for a birthday celebration Great service and food! Alissa was awesome!

Went for birthday. Steak not made to order as it was well over cooked. Timing of food slightly delayed so not ideal to wait for another steak. Disappointed to pay full price for steak not cooked to order

Great food with god service. A bit high priced but yu probably get what yo pay for.

Went for hubby and I anniversary. Only ones in the restaurant other than another party. Waiter was very attentive and friendly. The steak is some of the best we’ve had at fine dining restaurants. Loved the bernaise sauce addition. They also gave us a desert for our celebration and took pictures when we asked them. Will definitely return.

The steak here was so good, that I was able to eat it without putting any sauce on the steak. I had the filet mignon and it was perfectly seasoned. The cost of beef is sky high now, no matter where you get it, but if you want a good steak, here is the place to go. The baked potato, so large that it was like a potato on steroids, was the best baked potato that I have ever had. It was cooked perfectly and didn't need butter or anything other than a little salt and pepper. One potato actually would serve three people. Just delicious. The service was a little slow, but considering the pandemic and trying to balance staff with patrons, as the restaurant was not crowded on a Thursday night, it was just fine. So if you want a good steak, and don't mind paying for it, I would recommend this restaurant.

It was the best meal I have ever had. We enjoyed a birthday dinner and it was perfect. Thank you Gabriella.

Todo excelente, salvo a que los papa horneada nos llegó fría y no estaba recién hecha.

We took friends with us and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal, Amber our servicer was excellent and we hope to be back soon.

Ambiance was beautiful and perfect for celebrating my husband’s birthday. We were dressed…my husband in a suit and myself and my daughter in dresses as we always do when we eat out at nicer restaurants.

Waitress greeted us wearing a blue medical mask. Not very appetizing. She then proceeded to remove the place holder wine glass in front of my almost (shy by two months) 21 year old who was dressed elegantly for the occasion. Very presumptuous! Then proceeded to tell us that pommes meant potatoes in case we didn’t know. Good grief! Lobster bisque and salads were good. My ribeye was good. My husband’s over salted filet had to be returned to the kitchen as it was undercooked. My daughter’s lobster on her surf and turf dish was tough. Her filet was good. Mushroom side dish was without taste and watery. Baked potato was large and shareable. My drink was a Cucumber Collins made with lemon but had a lime on the top of the glass and tasted exactly like a mojito. Waitress did not set the table for dessert so when the (small) slice of key lime pie arrived there were no utensils. My coffee arrived after dessert was finished. Leftovers we took home (my ribeye, the mushrooms because I figured I could doctor them up at home, and the lobster because I didn’t want to believe my daughter….Turns out she was correct - tough!) were packaged up in styrofoam containers and then placed in a white plastic grocery type take out bag and placed on the table. What??? I was in shock! Understand the three of us spent almost $300 on this meal. So disappointed!

Always great food

The service was excellent. I went for my birthday and the food was very good. The portion size for the sides are more than enough. I really enjoyed my experience

The food was great.

Food quality was average for an upper end steak house. They claimed they were short staffed, but just didn’t see like a we run location.

Everything was great 👍 especially the service.
Food was great in general, but the only issue was the Calamari that came out cold and I did not enjoy the appetizer.

The food and service were great!

I have tried Shulas in the past but this is the first time tying the one at Gainesville. Got to say that I was very disappointed substandard service and food quality. Will think twice about going to Shulas in the near future. Step up your game!!!

Amazing food and ambiance

Birthday dinner

Great dining experience! Delicious food, nice ambiance and great service. Elisa was our server And she did an awesome job! We had such a good time we ended up making a new reservation for this coming weekend!

Food and presentation was excellent. Will definitely eat here again.

Incredibly slow service. Took 90 mins from placing order til food came. At least they took off the wine and gave us free desert.

Service was great and food was good. On the day we went they were out of quiet a few options from the menu, especially their fish and desserts. We always stay at the Hilton and decided to give them a try, but were a bit disappointed.
