Went for my father in-law’s 80th birthday. None of us had been before and all four of us were blown away. Mimi was an amazing waitress. She was on point with everything. The food was incredible.
We frequently go to Embers for celebrations but honestly this was leaps and bounds better. Everything from the atmosphere to the food was just outstanding. Everyone but me ordered steak and they raved about how tender and delicious it was. I had the redfish and I’m still drooling over it.
The manager (maybe gm?) was so kind and honestly very funny. I didn’t catch his name.
We will definitely be back again.

This is a cute restaurant and a very quaint shopping center that was decorated at Christmas time. The food was what would be expected for the price point that they are charging. I had the Blackened Redfish which was really excellent and my dining friend had a filet mignon which she stated tasted really good. We also had some really good desserts and the wine service was impeccable and moderately priced for this type of restaurant. Definitely great for dates and business meetings as well as family events because it was not too loud.

Our first experience. We had a few minute wait for a table and they bought our first round. Our amazing server/bartender extraordinaire Kelly made awesome suggestions on food, drinks, and oysters! Great atmosphere! Great drinks! Great food! And we loved Kelly! She even gave us recommendations on places to hike in the morning! Highly recommend!

We went to Pearl and Prime for our 2nd wedding anniversary, and since it was our first one together, it felt really special. The fine dining ambience was excellent – elegant and cozy, perfect for the occasion. The food was delicious, and the portion sizes were generous. Truly enjoyed the experience and would definitely recommend it for special celebrations.

Every year I go here with one of my children for a special evening. It is always phenomenal. One year, I got a server who spent the evening trading riddles and jokes with my nine year old son. The last two times we have gotten the bar booth and had the same bartender serve us. She is quite awesome. She’s busy making high-quality cocktails, so be patient if you’re sat there, but it’s worth it! The food is, in my experience, the best in town, and I’ve eaten at all the major restaurants. Redfish, filet, oysters Rockefeller, sides…all superb. But really it’s the service. In the last month I have eaten here, Mark’s and Embers, and this is BY FAR the best service I received. By. Far. I hope you go and enjoy yourself. Ask for a gin-basil-smash…absolutely delicious…

My family from VA came to visit so of course we came to best restaurant in Gainesville, Fl! Our server was Laleah and when I say she was amazing, competent, GREAT energy, knowledgeable and warm, I absolutely mean it. My father, mother, and Uncle who are well traveled stated this was some of the best selection of meats and aged to perfection!
You need to visit and bring a friend so you can enjoy multiple dishes!

Ok so where do I start? Let me say in a short review… YOU HAVE GOT TO COME HERE! I will be here EVERY month and wish they had a membership. Now for those that like a more detailed review here you go…
The Oysters Rockefeller were absolutely divine—perfectly baked with a rich, savory topping that melted in your mouth. Each bite delivered a balance of creamy spinach, herbs, and the briny freshness of the oysters. It was easily one of the best renditions of the dish I’ve ever had. I actually had 2 orders because it was so divine!!
My server, Alexus, was impressively attentive without being intrusive, anticipating our needs before we had to ask. Drink were never empty, and every course was timed flawlessly. Their warm demeanor and focus truly enhanced my dining experience.
The professionalism from both the staff and the manager, Brian, on the floor was outstanding. Everyone moved with purpose and poise, creating a seamless and welcoming atmosphere. The manager made rounds to greet guests, showing a level of care that made ne feel valued.
The lamb was cooked to perfection—tender, flavorful, and beautifully plated. The seasoning brought out the natural richness of the meat without overpowering it. Every element on the plate complemented the lamb, making it a standout entrée.
Meeting the chef, Mike, was a real highlight; his passion for the craft was evident in every word. He was humble, engaging, and took the time to have a little conversation. It was clear that his culinary excellence comes from both skill and heart.
Lastly, the crème brûlée was absolutely divine—silky, luscious, and crowned with a perfectly crisp caramelized sugar top that shattered delicately with each spoonful. It was the ideal balance of sweetness and texture, leaving a lasting impression. The drinks were crafted to perfection—balanced, bold, and artfully presented, showcasing the bartender’s skill and creativity.
Thank you to the whole team from check in, server, manger and chef! Alexus, Brian and Mike I look forward to seeing you all again!!

We went here today for our anniversary. They seated us in the “private” dining room. There was a table with 5 older people and they were so loud we couldn’t even talk to each other. This room is extremely LOUD. We started with the smoked pork belly, and this was actually really good. I ordered the salmon, and this was cooked perfectly. The picture of my wine was $18.00 our waitress recommended it, if I could have heard her I would have noticed the $..My husband ordered the Ribeye, and the bottom of his steak was extremely charred, burnt and bitter. They remade his steak, and he ordered it medium, and it came out black and blue rare. At that point, we were done with the steak. They did removed the steak off our bill. We ended up getting a carrot cake to go. Our waitress was very kind and helped us as much as she could.

Prime and pearl is the perfect place for a celebratory dinner in GNV! The food is delicious and the servers are always so kind. We had initially asked about the amount of lobster claws that would come as an add on to our steak as a few of us were sharing. The waitress said it was usually between 2-4, but ended up accommodating our large party and gave 6! I would also recommend the oysters and bone-in ribeye!

We tied the knot at Town Hall and wanted a beautiful place to celebrate our marriage. We love Celebration Pointe, which is why we chose Prime & Pearl, and they did not disappoint!
Parking was free and plentiful, and we were seated without a long wait, though we highly recommend making reservations, especially on busy nights. The vibe is low-lit, romantic, and intimate which was perfect for a special occasion. Our waitress was fabulous and very attentive throughout the evening.
To start, their “poppers” were absolutely delicious and a fun twist on traditional bread service, especially paired with the incredible blueberry butter. To celebrate, I ordered their Painkiller cocktail, which was smooth, delicious, and hit the spot. I also had the French onion soup, which arrived piping hot with perfectly melted cheese.
For our entrées, we ordered the filet, the NY strip, and the rack of lamb, and every dish was excellent. We shared the corn and mashed potatoes, both of which were outstanding. I also loved the artistic touch on the menu check presentation.
Overall, we’re so happy we chose Prime & Pearl to celebrate our new marriage and will absolutely be returning in the future.

Been wanting to try Prime & Pearl for a while so went for the $52 Thanksgiving Dinner Plate but received a $12 dinner. It was advertised as a mixture of white and dark meat and I prefer dark so first thing noticed was no dark meat and only few slices of white meat on the plate. Even more disappointing was the gravy at the bottom of the plate was actually cold. My daughter complained she was thirsty as her glass sat empty for too long. They bring over a tray of assorted knives and let you pick your knife which seemed corny when food and service was blah. Not sure how they think this plate is worth the money. It felt like Prime & Pearl is a hyped up fake status “look at me” place focusing on money over quality and customer satisfaction. Definitely go to Cracker Barrel instead.
