    The server was friendly, my companion requested room temp water and was given cold water, we ordered Escargot and it was alright not great just alright. My companion wanted a steak and so I asked the server what he would suggest and he said the Delmonico and that the marbelization made it an excellent tasting steak. She ordered it rare and when it arrived it was cooked the way she ordered it but she had a difficult time cutting through the steak and since the lights were so low and we could not see why I put on my flashlight from my phone and a quarter of the steak was gristle. I called the server over to show him the gristle and let him know that this was not marbelization in the steak and he coped an attitude. Do you want me to take it back he said and we said well no we just you to know that they did not trim the steak before they cooked it. I was not overly impressed by the food or the attitude of the server and expected better from the steak house.

    The hands down best upscale restaurant in Gainesville. We have been here several times during my daughter’s time at UF and Mark’s Prime has never disappointed. Her graduation dinner was a beautiful way to celebrate

    Food was mediocre at best, not even on par with Outback. White wine was refrigerator cold, and not very good. Service was not what is expected at upscale restaurant, though the one server seemed nice. Will not be returning.

    I have eaten at Marks often and the service has been amazing. Today, the wait between courses was too long (mainly due to the waiter simply not coming around). This was especially surprising because we dined early (arrived 5:15 for a 5:30 reservation). Another person finally came and asked if we perhaps needed some boxes, at which time we had an opportunity to ask for a dessert. Our waiter came with the dessert menu, but quickly dropped it off and hurried away without taking our order though we were ready to order. When the waiter returned, I asked for a cappuccino, and the waiter immediately said that he’s not even sure if the cappuccino machine works. This was very surprising because I have always had cappuccino at Marks. As we were waiting for our dessert, another server came by to ask if we perhaps needed a bag for our boxes which we did. I was surprised that there was no cleaning of the breadcrumbs from the table after the main course which is customary at Marks. When the desserts came, after also an unusually long time for Marks, I had to also ask for the check because we had to catch the show at Hippodrome at seven. We felt rushed, and never got our bag for the to go boxes. Though the food was and always has been great, I was disappointed in the service today.

    I’m never disappointed at Marks. It’s one of the few places in Gainesville with professionally trained servers. The wine list is exceptional and very fairly priced. My surf and turf (butter poached lobster tail and petite filet) was perfectly cooked. My companion felt his Strip steak was fatty, and his concern was promptly addressed by the manager. I cannot recommend Marks highly enough. My Go To special occasion place 😎

    Mark's is always a favorite. Whether it is for a special occasion or just for an evening out, it is one of our top three favorites in Gainesville. The restaurant itself is beautiful with a very nice ambience. The chef and his crew do a spectacular job on preparing food and in presentation. And they change things up, so there are always some wonderful specials.  Our server last evening was Jeremy very pleasant, engaging, efficient and professional. He was happy to explain things and make suggestions. His partner Ryan was great, very accommodating and pleasant. We often enjoy Mark's while sitting in the bar area which is delightful.
