The staff is all wonderful and welcoming, I've left smiling every single time I've gone. I strongly encourage everyone not to let the wait time deter you, they make the food fresh and to order. I've had the chicken kebab, chicken shawarma, fries, wings, chicken tenders, borscht, Pelmeni, and honey cake. I haven't had a single thing from here that I haven't absolutely devoured and finished not wanting more of. Just an absolutely outstanding place to go and worth every minute and penny.

Definitely glad we did, because I'd highly recommend getting a reservation here. We went on a Saturday around noon and found out they do a buffet brunch until 3pm. I wasn't expecting that at all, but it ended up being awesome. The shrimp and grits were amazing. I don't know what they put in those grits, but they were seriously scrumptious. The chicken wings and sliders were also really good. The place itself is really nice and well put together. Our server was good too and even gave us some recommendations for breweries in the area, which was appreciated. Overall, great food, great service, and a really nice atmosphere. Highly recommend.

My server was very nice and helpful with any questions I had. I ordered off of their lunch menu and got the chicken teppanyaki which came with soup, salad, fried rice, and veggies. The soup and salad came out pretty quick. The soup was good and had pieces of fried onion and mushroom in it. The salad was ok but overly drenched in the dressing. The lunch portion was huge for the chicken teppanyaki. It came with fried rice, veggies, and chicken. The fried rice was bland and did need the yum yum sauce to jazz it up. I wish the plate came with more veggies rather than the onions as the veggies were cooked very good. Also, the veggies were very fresh - I would definitely order them again. Overall for $16 this was a great lunch and value.

Fresh Kitchen is amazing but maybe different for some. Its like a new age fresh kitchen …read more Everything is dairy and gluten-free. Their side dishes are different and cold but dont let that stop you right here, they are amazing! Their noodles are made from sweet potatoes and they have mashed cauliflower that you'd never know if they didnt tell you. They have other sides that all taste great. Im not to keen on their beverages but again its a new age thing and it goes along with their pallet. And you have to try their cookies. I always have to get them. Soo good. My only draw back for me is it all comes in a bowl which I love, but not my husband. He wont go there just because the food is layered and well some dont like that. He wont drink their choice of beverages either. Some like it and some dont. I guess thats for everyone. But for me, its my go when I'm in Gainesville.

Literally every single item on their menu is completely delicious. They offer a fantastic variety of high-quality proteins and vegetables, making it incredibly easy to build a clean, nutritious meal.

They even sell high-quality Evian bottled water and offer phenomenal immune shots that I absolutely love. It is incredibly rare to find a quick-service spot with these standards. I cannot recommend them enough! Oh, and their service is amazing!

We made reservations at Prime & Pearl in Gainesville to celebrate our anniversary, and we had a…read morereally nice evening! We started with the Tuscan Bruschetta with vine-ripened tomatoes, basil, red onion, and balsamic glaze. My husband had the Gold Star Old Fashioned, and I had the Strawberry Sunrise mocktail, which was really good. For dinner, we tried the cold-water twin lobster tails with mac and cheese. The presentation was beautiful, and everything looked so good when it came out. We also tried the bourbon mushrooms, which unfortunately weren't my favorite. They were a little bland and seemed slightly burnt to me. The 14 oz. New York strip, though, was absolutely delicious! It was 20-day wet-aged beef and definitely the highlight of my meal. So much flavor and cooked perfectly. For dessert, we had the crème brûlée, and they surprised us by decorating the plate with "Happy Anniversary." Such a sweet and thoughtful touch! We finished the evening with a double espresso. The service was exceptional from start to finish, which really made the evening feel special. Overall, we really enjoyed our anniversary dinner at Prime & Pearl. The beautiful presentation, excellent service, delicious steak, and thoughtful anniversary touches made it a memorable evening. We would definitely come back for another special occasion!

We were informed by the waitress at the greet that they were out of burgers and au gratin potatoes. No problem. We ordered 12 oysters. 9 came to the table and the server didn't know which ones were which. They brought an additional 3 upon request. Then after a round of cocktails with the appetizer, we attempted to order a bottle of Rioja and were quickly informed they did not have the bottle. We attempted to order 2 other Spanish wines and the server said they were out of both of them. Pretty disappointing that a steakhouse is sold out of all 3 Spanish red wine options. We ordered a Malbec which was nice but a little over priced. Our steaks were very good and cooked to order. However the sides were disappointing. The lobster Mac and cheese had about 6 tiny pieces of lobster in it! No flavor! The truffle Brussel sprouts did not taste like truffle at all and everyone at the table agreed that it was suspect. Someone at the table mentioned the lack of truffle flavor to the server and she did offer to bring truffle oil but we declined because they were already soggy. The dessert and specials menu came out wrinkled with stains on a piece of paper trifold! For an expensive steakhouse a trashy takeout menu?! That was bizarre. Only upon ordering dessert were we told they did not have carrot cake. Again, another menu item that is 86'd. I asked who does their BWL order and the server said the manager. Hopefully they plan to do a better job with the wine inventory. I'm not sure I will be back anytime soon. It's just not worth the price point.

I tasted the coleslaw that came with his fish and it was really good. The fish was great and he loved the homemade tater sauce. The chicken and waffles are to die for. We both opted for what I will call Chicken flanks. We each got 4 halves of chicken breasts that were done with buttermilk breading before cooking. Just so delicious. I used honey on mine and he had a sweet and spicy sauce. The waffles have a strawberry butter, that is amazing and we used regular syrup. I can not say enough about our server who kept drinks full and was interested truly in what we thought about the food. Will be back first time there and we were not disappointed. The restaurant is very clean and has some neat things to look at as well, plus you can sit inside or outside.
