Mark's Prime Steakhouse

What a wonderful restaurant. The service was outstanding. The lady was so attentive to our requests. She went above and beyond. Our steaks were perfect. The food was fabulous. The chocolate dessert is a must. We will be back. Thank you.

Very disappointed in this place- coming from a family of routine fine dining & upper echelon places, this place was extremely under par. Waiter was very impersonal. Our wine tasting glasses, appetizer plates/drinks/ etc, were all left on the table until it was near the end of our dinner leaving us no room on the table. It took 25 or so minutes for a refill, leaving my husband having to get up and go order from the bar. Food took around an hour and 45 minutes to 2 hours to come out. Likely this was the case due to a tip being already included in large parties leaving no reason for decent service. The steak was okay, but the soups and salads were awful. Would not return.

Four of us had a lovely dinner at Marks. There is a magnificent bar but we sat at a booth. Our server William was nice and informative. The tap water they serve is far better than other nearby restaurants. We started with one cocktail and an Austin Hope cab. They have the liter bottles which make it a good value and it is an outstanding wine. My guest who had a manhattan found it too sweet. The bread service was good. Especially liked the butter being at room temperature. Two of had the lamb chops and they were a good size and perfectly cooked to rare plus. Another guest enjoyed the crab cakes finding them full of crab rather than breading. Another guest got the grouper and found it wonderful. There is a parking lot across the street and Marks validation saves you $3 off the $13 cost.

I'm sry to do this but we decided to go to Mark's in Gainesville on Wednesday for our 15 year wedding anniversary dinner. I've been craving a steak and had my eyes on a Delmonico...so we made reservations and got coconut shrimp 🦐 (I think it was $15 - got 4 shrimp in total ) as an appertizer they were huge and I liked them my husband wasn't too thrilled but the sweet sauce was ok. Then he got the chopped salad and I got the Caesar salad ($? Can't remember but I think they were $10-+) . He said his was super dry and mine had no flavor. I ended up not eating it . I got the fingerling Potatos and my husband got the broccoli with butter sauce ($10 each per side) . My potatoes were so hard but dark I just couldn't eat them. I asked and showed the waiter if this was normal and he just brushed it off. Another thing I did not eat 🙄$$$ I got the Delmonico steak ($55) medium well wuth demi sauce the steak was ok the sauce was good but no seasoning on the steak or food ...my husband got the catchers special which was some kind of red fish ($54) which we love normally the waiter did not ask how he wanted it cooked and was baked. We never have or ask for baked red fish . Just not normal but he got 2 small fried nugget pieces of the fish with some kind of smear of a sauce which was um ok I guess. Just very disappointed ☹️ was so looking forward to it. I got one small glass of wine (the cheapest one they had lol I don't normally drink 🍷$15 but it was our anniversary) pictures - it all looked good just taste and flavor was a big miss. Total $200! 😲 For what ? Was NOT worth it . Next time definitely going back to Embers for sure we spent $100 for about the same amount and kind of food and I got a whole bottle of wine there. I'm so tired of paying money and especially alot of money for bad food 🤮 sry not sry just our opinion ☺️ $200?!

This place is amazing, I always love coming here. One of the best steaks you will ever have!

Outstanding dinner and service . Our dinner started with great drinks and bread . The waiter was very attentive. Really enjoyed the mezcal cocktail and steaks were cooked to perfection . The twice baked potato and brussel sprouts were wonderful . One of the best meals we've had in a while . A lovely new year's celebration for sure ! Can't wait to go back !

The food was great and our server Jeremy was awesome!

Everything was wonderful, except for the waitress waited too long to take our cocktail order

We love this restaurant! However, we were disappointed in our ribeye. My husband and I shared it. For $68 we expected perfection. It tasted good but more fatty than I expected. My impression was they were cutting corners in order to increase profits. The fried lobster bites were delicious! The children's hamburgers were a value. We will return because we love the ambiance! I just hope they upgrade the ribeye!

Everything was great if you like eating in the dark and making sure your conversations so quiet you could hear a mouse pee on cotton

Very nice service in classic steakhouse ambiance. However, NY Strip quality was shameful..the worse I've ever eaten at a reputable steakhouse. Very chewy with hard, inedible pieces. Crab powder and bread were pretty good, as was the filet.

Always a great experience
