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.

We had family visiting with us for Father's Day. Everyone enjoyed the experience- from the lobster sliders appetizer to the salads, entree and decadent desserts. 👍👍👍

Service was perfect Kara was awesome! Lobster slider appetizer was amazing. As usual Marks didn't disappoint! Everything we had was perfect chopped salad bacon wrapped filet and buttered corn. Raspberry sorbet for dessert perfect date night out!

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.

We go a few times a year for special occasions. Mark's is always worth it. Great food, outstanding service, comfortable and classy vibe.

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.

Upscale dining experience for our son's graduation dinner with out-of-town family. Wonderful service, delicious and creative dishes, beautiful dining room. Mark's is consistently wonderful and we keep coming back!

We've been going to Marks's Prime to celebrate special occasions such as birthdays and anniversaries for years and have enjoyed every one of those dinners. Best steak in town and there are many other great dishes. And the service is first rate!!

Kevin

Great service but food wasn't cooked as expected and a little highly priced for the market. That being said, if my medium plus wasn't medium rare, I would have enjoyed it better.

Debra

Heard the place was racist. Unless you belong to a racist group, I would avoid at all costs.

Our dining experience was very good, our guest from out of town really enjoyed the food and the wine.

Fruit flies or something kept flying around our table. My guess from working in the industry years ago it is from the yeast or bar rot from the old bar in the building. One I emptied my wine glass they immediately landed on the glass. We were not next to the bar either. Otherwise everything else was great.
