- KKatherineDenver / Colorado •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoWe had a quiet booth in the front of the restaurant across from the beautiful mahogany English style bar. This location was perfect for a private dining experience. The service was exceptional. We were given time to enjoy our meal and not feel rushed which is rare when compared with most restaurants in Gainesville. We ordered a ribeye steak with brandy pepper sauce. Cooked exactly as we requested and served on a warm plate. The jalapeño stuffed appetizer was exceptional. We look forward to going back.More infoMark's Prime Steakhouse and Seafood - GainesvillePrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Gainesville•4.7
