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.

    Unfortunately, there was a fire in the kitchen during our visit. We were all evacuated. Unfortunately, after some time outside a gentleman came over and just told us sorry, we're closed. I understand that it was a unique situation, but we were not offered to reschedule or plan of action to come back another day. We've been to P&P before and we usually enjoy the experience.

    My wife went and I were celebrating her birthday, it was a lovely experience for both of us. The wait staff was very pleasant and professional. The food was cooked well and served at good temperatures. We would like to thank our server Jess, for a pleasant experience.

    Server was amazing. AMAZING! Our table was literally right by the kitchen and bathroom hallway so the amount of times my chair was kicked was ridiculous. Management was hovering but not to check on us however we got to hear every small issue with other tables. Server 10/10. Placement was awful. It was an anniversary dinner and they left a very cute note. Do better management. Both from fine dining. We know better.

    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.
