Prime & Pearl is a sublime, delightfully original chophouse in Gainesville, Florida that believes unexpected, flavorful pairings lead to something magical. From steaks, dry-aged for 35 days to uniquely crafted cocktails, dining at Prime & Pearl is an experience. One you won’t soon forget.

Our focus is on bringing things together—often unexpected things—to make something creative and authentic. We believe a sense of wonder is an integral part of every memorable dining experience in our space.

Enjoy a local, hand-selected 25-ounce Porterhouse ribeye perfectly dry-aged on-site. Taste an array of oysters from our own gulf waters up to the shores of New England and Canada. Choose a unique steak knife that reflects your personality. Quench your thirst for originality with a personalized Prime & Pearl Bourbon or Whiskey. Whatever you do, don’t eat ordinary.

    Great food! Ambiance was okay (we were seated in a little room in the back of the restaurant). This is my second time here in the last month (1st for business and 2nd for my Anniversary), both times we felt rushed through our meal and both visits asked to finish up because they had another reservation they needed to seat. We were there for 50 minutes, it wasn't like we took 2 hours. In my opinion, this is not acceptable for an upscale restaurant.

    Thank you for your review, Kim. We take your feedback seriously and apologize for any feelings of being rushed. I will address this issue with the staff to ensure it doesn’t happen again.

    Our waitress was fantastic when we ate at 4pm on Dec. 3rd. The steak was godly! The smoking old-fashioned’s were amazing! We got a dessert that even had a little chocolate Happy Birthday sign and a candle it was perfect!

    We went on Thanksgiving and we enjoyed it very much. We had reservations and we were seated immediately. The staff were friendly and attentive. The oysters were amazing, I had the fire roasted with garlic/butter and Parmesan while my partner and my sister had raw. We all had the Thanksgiving special. It was very good and we left completely stuffed. We are already making plans to go back.
