Mark's is an excellent steakhouse, I have been three times now and it never disappoints. The steak is always cooked just how I like it and is served on a piping hot plate. Sides are sold separately and are large enough to share. The creamed spinach and garlic potatoes have been an excellent compliment to my meal. My wife had... More

Love the atmosphere (dark and cozy, classy) of this Fine Dining establishment ($$$) located in a great part of Downtown Gainesville. Matt is a great server. Ask for the Lobster Mac and Cheese if they have it as a side item at the time. Delicious!! Worth every dime. Liked it so much we've eaten there twice on separate trips.

We had graduation dinner here on Monday. My son, the graduate has wanted to eat here but could not afford it on a student/ROTC allowance. This was his choice and all 9 of us had a great meal. The steaks were the best my husband said he'd ever had, everyone agreed. The seafood fresh and cooked to perfection. The sides,... More

The best place I've eaten in Gainesville, yet. The steak was very good, the sides were awesome and the ambience very nice.

We went to celebrate our anniversary , and Gainesville does not have a lot of options for high end dinners. The decor is warm and high end, although I really had a hard time seeing my menu as it was so dark at our table. Our waitress, Jessica,was pleasant and helpful, and never intrusive. We never felt rushed, which is... More

I've eaten here several times over the years and always come away satisfied but not amazed. Good service, very pricey for the quality of steak. It feels like they were trying to copy one of the chain steak houses. Not a lot to chose from in Gainesville when you want a steak.

When we walked into Mark's we loved the look: Wood and leather and great old bar. We were just going to have a drink but James our bartender made us so welcome that we decided to stay for our dinner. So glad we did. We ate at the bar and split a chopped salad, a Delmonico steak, potatoes cooked in... More

Not only does this restaurant deliver in the ambiance department, but the service is also not to be beat! The filet mignon just melts in your mouth, and the flavor of the steak is a perfect blend of the great beef with enough flavoring to enhance the beef, not hide the beef taste. The sides are also delicious, and there... More

Tried to call the telephone number for a reservation on Valentines for two weeks. Left multiple messages (at least 4!) No response WHAT SO EVER. We used to come here often, but we will be taking our business elsewhere. What kind business has a number posted for reservations, and a voice mail system, but won't return messages? Understandable if one... More

Marks has a very attractive bar and if you can limit yourself to the happy hour offerings you can have a drink and a small snack for under $15. If you want to have dinner, however, be prepared to spend a lot more. I have had steaks at Mark's several times and grouper once. The grouper was excellent as was... More
