Mark's Prime Steakhouse

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.

We always have a wonderful experience every time we dine at Mark's. The whole staff is fabulous and I just don't have enough kind words to say how wonderful Carmell and Valerie are. You are truly blessed to have them at Mark's.

Our service was excellent. The ambience is very nice. Our food was just not that good. The bread was the only bright spot of our dinner. The Lobster Bites had a thick covering of fried bread and you could not taste the lobster at all. The steak was charred way to much on the outside. The shrimp on the salad was rubbery and over cooked. They charge Capital Grill prices but their product does not measure up to the prices they charge.

We had a wonderful evening at Mark's Prime Steakhouse in Gainesville. The food was clearly fresh and well-prepared, but it lacked the depth and intense flavor I was expecting for a restaurant of this caliber. The service, however, was outstanding — attentive, friendly, and perfectly timed throughout the meal. The ambience was elegant yet comfortable, and the restaurant maintained a quiet, relaxed atmosphere ideal for conversation. The value was fair for a fine-dining experience, though it's definitely a special-occasion spot. Overall, a very good experience — excellent service and presentation, just hoping for a bit more flavor next time.

As a NYer ive been to a lot of steak houses and this ranks right up there. Great service, 2 different steaks were cooked perfectly and tasted great. In an area of the country that is lacking upscale food, this is a diamond in the rough. Definitely going back

Our server, Brandon (the younger of the two), provided exceptional service throughout the evening. We ordered Cosmos from the bar; however, the first two were overly heavy on the lemon. Brandon handled the situation graciously, ensuring the drinks were remade until they were perfect on the third attempt. His attentiveness and professionalism greatly enhanced our dining experience. The food was outstanding from start to finish. We began with the Lobster Escargot, crab cakes, and coconut shrimp—all beautifully prepared and flavorful. For our entrées, we enjoyed the filet, bone-in ribeye, and grouper. Each dish was served hot, perfectly cooked, and artfully presented. Mark's is an excellent choice for any special occasion, offering both exceptional cuisine and top-tier service.

Everyone in my party thoroughly enjoyed their dinner. My daughter and I had visited Mark's before, but our guest had not. She said that her steak (delmonico) made her mouth dance 🤣. Our server(Brandon) was very attentive. We will request him on our next visit.

One would anticipate a high echelon experience here. In fact, we’ve experienced just that and nothing less in previous visits. Unfortunately, our last experience has left us speechless, and beyond disappointed!! $70+ dollar steaks completely undercooked. We never complain; however, our steaks were so undercooked we had no choice but to send them back. When we got them back, they were completely charred and inedible. I cannot believe the server staff even felt it was acceptable to return to the table with $70 steaks in that condition, no less expect us to eat them.
The manager proceeded to tell us they wouldn’t charge us for the steaks, in addition to buying our first glasses of wine. When we got the bill, we were charged $200 for two appetizers and two sides, and EVERY glass of wine we ordered.
If you’re looking for a top notch steakhouse experience, go to Embers instead. You won’t be disappointed like you will be with Mark’s.

Our initial server made us feel abandoned. We asked a random server for someone to be our server. That random person was Erik. Once he took over, the rest of the experience was great. We had steak and red snapper and salad and dessert. All were excellent. Do not order the asparagus. it's way too tough. Otherwise, a great evening.

An excellent book place to celebrate that special moment with excellent food, no noise, just the great experience of excellent dining!

I've never had a bad experience at Mark's. The Delmonico and lamb are my two favorite entrees, and the risotto is always amazing. Sometimes there is seating in the bar area, but I highly recommend making a reservation.

Really enjoyed our dinner at Mark's. Fantastic lobster appetizer, steaks and sides were delicious and perfectly cooked, and the dessert sampler was ideal. Drinks were very good too. Our server, Eric, was outstanding, and provided excellent service and recommendations. We also met manager Jon, who provided some good information. Will definitely be back to this great restaurant.
