Mark's Prime Steakhouse

Great service paired with great food, add a smooth and relaxing atmosphere equals an evening at Mark's Prime Steakhouse! This Gainesville, FL gem is a must experience for anyone who fancies a traditional southern Steakhouse experience. The staff is wonderful and very knowledgeable. The food is expertly prepared and full flavor. Mark's Prime Steakhouse is for sure a five star experience!

I made reservations for my graduation for 5. If you have a large party over 4 people, you have to give them your credit card because if you don’t show up, they will charge you a fee for no-show. When we arrived we were warmly welcomed and led to the table which was ready for our party. The restaurant is very clean and the atmosphere is great. It’s a beautiful, classy, restaurant. Our waiter was okay and fast. Our food took a little long to come out, but that’s normal when you have busy events like graduation. We ordered 3 chicken dishes and two steak dishes. My steak was perfect and delicious, but the chicken dishes were way too salty. For a party of five, the check was $350 + tip. It is expensive but worth it for events such as grad. Make sure you make your reservation at least one month in advance. I highly recommend Mark’s Steakhouse for graduation.

Mark's prime steakhouse in my opinion is the number one fine dining restaurant in Gainesville Florida! I am absolutely shocked that this is not a Michelin starred restaurant. All the food is made from scratch and prepared perfectly and the front of house service is immaculate. If you are looking for the absolute best dining experience that you can have in Gainesville Florida I suggest that you make reservations at Mark's prime steakhouse and seafood downtown Gainesville FL!

Our second visit and the food is always incredible. No complaints. However, our appetizers ran into a “snafoo” in the kitchen. The manager came out to inform us but didn’t offer anything to make up for the excessive delay. Other groups, whom were seated after us, received their appetizers well before us. The Bourbon menu was lacking…we tried ordering 3 different bourbons for my father’s retirement celebration and they were out of them. The drink menu should certainly be adjusted. Hands down the best food in town but definitely disappointed in the service this time around.

Second visit to this location. First was several years ago and we were very impressed. We went again last night 2/10/24, and not pleased.. I had petite filet which was overcooked, my husband had bone in ribeye which was very fatty with no flavor at all... this is absurd for a $60 steak. We can do better on our own with publix steaks. This was our Valentine's dinner and for a $300 bill we were quite disappointed!!! The prices are no longer reflective of the quality of dining!

My recent visit to Mark’s Steak House was nothing short of exceptional. The highlight of my meal was the 16oz Delmonico steak, a true testament to the culinary expertise of the chefs here. Cooked to absolute perfection, the steak was tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor. Every bite was a delightful experience, showcasing the quality of the meat and the skill in its preparation. Complementing the steak was a selection of red wine, which was thoughtfully curated to enhance the dining experience. The wine I chose had a robust flavor, which paired beautifully with the rich taste of the steak, creating a harmonious blend of flavors on the palate. The ambiance of the restaurant added to the overall enjoyment of the meal, making it not just a dinner, but a memorable dining experience. Mark’s Steak House is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates a perfectly cooked steak and a great wine selection. It’s a place that impresses not only with its food but also with its atmosphere and service. I am already looking forward to my next visit.

Marks has always been good when I was at the restaurant. We ordered delivery. Not so good. The wedge was a gigantic hunk of iceberg lettuce with about 10 bacon bits and a few minuscule pieces of tomato. Would cost about $1 to make. The blue cheese dressing was watery and tasteless - I remember loving a thick blue cheese dressing at the restaurant. The burger looked delicious but when eating it - there must be some meat that is supposed to be ground up (brisket? steak?) but it wasn't, so huge dry chunks broke off that were hard to chew. Disappointing. Hope it's just delivery that is suboptimal
