    This was our first time at the Prime and Pearl. It is a real gem, located in a lively area with other shops and restaurants. The whole experience was one we look forward to having again soon.

    Not sure why they ask if you are celebrating something when they don’t even acknowledge it. Last year we went to Spurriers for our Anniversary and we were given a glass of champagne and a very nice card from Steve and his wife about love. Here they did nothing. I will consider Prime and Pearl for great food, but I will plan my special occasions elsewhere.

    I hadn’t been here in a while, so thought I’d come back to give it another try. Of the three upscale steakhouse in town I would put this at the bottom. This is the only place that has both wet and dry aged steaks and the wet steaks are all the same quality I could make it home.

    Prime and Pearl is just classy. The food was excellent and the service was attentive and professional. It is our favorite Gainsville restaurant. Even though it is thought of as a steak restaurant, we both ordered fish dishes. Outstanding. The chef even came to the table to make sure my wife’s meal was properly gluten free. She is a celiac.

    Disappointing experience. Food was okay, steak was overcooked by 5 minutes, but manager did offer a salad. Server took a while to come back so we could inform her. Then when the manager came out she made the comment “hopefully this one isn’t cooked medium” and I thought that was a slap in the face considering it was practically well done. The highlight of the night was the dessert. This is far from a true fine dining establishment but a nice chain.

    Top tier steak and seafood. Gluten free labeled on menu for select items. Fair prices, decent service, little out of place in a shopping center but the atmosphere is very Miami. Techno/house music playing moderately loud, good lighting, nice overall space just out of place in its current location/style.
