    I was expecting a high end experience for the prices on the menu. The steak, which is what they are known for came out overcooked & had to be re cooked. My husband wasn’t going to eat a $65 steak when it isn’t prepared correctly. They were also out of many menu items & liquor options. The restaurant wasn’t even busy. We were disappointed

    Excellent dining experience with food that offered a brilliant selection of wet and dried aged steaks. Their seafood options left no room for desire. From oysters to a delightful Norwegian salmon. Cocktails included a brilliant selection of custom drinks with every option desirable. I would highly recommend dining with prime and pearl!

    A beautiful birthday dinner celebration! Our steaks and seafood were prepared perfectly. The server and chef also took care to prepare a dish customized to my food allergies. We were celebrating two birthdays and the staff brought out two generous slices of delicious cake, beautifully presented, complete wiht lit candles--all on their own, without request! It was incredibly thoughtful and much appreciated. Highly recommend Prime & Pearl for special occasions, excellent service, and delicious menu options!

    Our server was a young man and he was very good. The food however is good but not anything amazing especially for what you’re paying. There are better steakhouses in Gainesville to go to. The sea bass I had was excellent but my boyfriend said his steak was just moderate. We’ve been here 2-3 times and that’s all we need so we likely won’t be back. Atmosphere and service was 5/5!

    Average food, below average for a steakhouse, service was decent. The atmosphere was ok. Nothing fancy or high end as a steakhouse should be. The burbon mushrooms tasted plain, no hint of flavor other than salt. Lobster Mac and cheese was the worst I’ve had in a steakhouse, the shrimp appetizer was too salty and boring. Will not return. Absolutely not worth the money. Input on the reservation that we are celebrating a birthday but the hostess did not tell the server.
