Tonight we got the onion crusted salmon which was so fresh and delicious and flavorful. These were paired with the red skin mashed potatoes with Boursin and were so yummy. For drinks I tried the Alma Roja and the cinnamon infused Cointreau was a really nice touch. Overall the service was great and I would highly recommend this hidden gem.

Parking was free and plentiful, and we were seated without a long wait, though we highly recommend making reservations, especially on busy nights. The vibe is low-lit, romantic, and intimate which was perfect for a special occasion. Our waitress was fabulous and very attentive throughout the evening. To start, their "poppers" were absolutely delicious and a fun twist on traditional bread service, especially paired with the incredible blueberry butter. To celebrate, I ordered their Painkiller cocktail, which was smooth, delicious, and hit the spot. I also had the French onion soup, which arrived piping hot with perfectly melted cheese. For our entrées, we ordered the filet, the NY strip, and the rack of lamb, and every dish was excellent. We shared the corn and mashed potatoes, both of which were outstanding. I also loved the artistic touch on the menu check presentation. Overall, we're so happy we chose Prime & Pearl to celebrate our new marriage and will absolutely be returning in the future.

It was more than enough, and everything was delicious, including the Manhattan. Alexus and her assistant server Charles, provided outstanding service.

One of my favorite places to grab dinner in Gainesville. I usually go for the burger (it's…read morephenomenal), but opted for the steak and it did not disappoint! We also tried to Dijon buffalo wings and they were also good. Always recommend getting a side of fries here - they are crispy and delicious!! I also tried one of their drink favorites - the Saturn. It was recommended to me by one of the staff and it was great as well as their cosmopolitan that had pomegranate. I always enjoy the ambiance here - it's good for date night or grabbing a bite with friends.

They give you a number and bring your food/drink to the table. Reasonable prices and great variety of craft cocktails. The burger was good, but I honestly liked the pork tacos more! Everyone at the table agreed that we would have liked the fries to be a bit crisper. Probably will return to try their cheese and charcuterie offerings!

Afternoon is a perfect breakfast spot for groups! I took my friends from out of town and they loved…read moreit! The coffee is always amazing; rich in favor with the perfect amount of oat milk. I had a lavender oat milk latte and this might be one of the best coffees in Gainesville. Their pastries are also not to be missed the guava pastry is a favorite of ours. Pros: flaky delicate pastry crust. Excellence balance of cheese to jam. Filling. Would order again! Cons: sticky fingers Cinnamon rolls The frosting is very thick and delightful. It was originally brought out cold and then they warmed it up upon request. The layers were sweet but not overly so. I got the French omelet and the egg was perfectly fluffy. My friends got the whipped feta toast, the veggie breakfast burrito and the breakfast bowl.

I was very excited to visit Afternoon as I saw it was a Michelin recommended restaurant in…read moreGainesville. The service was impeccable from start to finish. I entered the restaurant at 9:15 am with my guest and were seated promptly. Our server proceeded with our drink order in which we requested a vanilla and brown sugar iced latte and lemonade. My vanilla and brown sugar latte was made well and was quite refreshing. The lemonade was a bit sweet but overall a good beverage. However, as our experience continued it became a bit of a let down. We ordered the Dutch baby with seasonal fruit, the big break, a cinnamon roll, and the afternoon hash. From time of placing the order to receiving our food was an overall total of 45 minutes. A bit of a long wait for breakfast/brunch style items. The cinnamon roll was not done well whatsoever, the roll itself was over kneaded which created a thick and heavy dough. Not the fluffy type of cinnamon roll you would expect. When our food did come out the Dutch baby was partly burnt, it did not taste as such but it was a bit flat in regard to taste. The potatoes in the hash and the big break were burnt. I wouldn't consider it crispy because they were so overcooked I could barely get my fork to go through. The taste of the hollandaise did redeem the dish a tad, however for $90 including tip it was not the dining experience I would come back to.

I also usually don't post positive reviews, even though I am harassed by most businesses after I patronize them. But I will make an exception when something is exceptional. This place is exceptional. That salad was the tastiest freaking salad I ever ate. I'm not kidding. Whatever they dress it in made me want to put aside being lady like, and lick the takeout container, that's how good it was. The steak was cooked exactly as I would have made it myself, if I was a skilled professional chef, that knows how people like their food. I was actually sad when I finished. All this, even though Uber Eats was one hour late, and forgot my soda. That being the case, I actually was prepared to be disappointed even more by the food. I was totally wrong. That was totally worth the wait. Anyway that's my take. I plan to keep on ordering. I can't wait to taste the rest of the menu.

The regular bowl is relatively inexpensive at $10.95 but so filling as to allow for leftovers. The teriyaki chicken, rice, broccoli, feta and toasted almonds, and mushrooms were a treat with the creamy garlic sauce. I also sampled the turmeric ginger sauce with steak, sweet potato noodles and forbidden rice. All fantastic! You cannot make a mistake ordering. The servers at the counter explained everything, and were patient and kind. I love the healthy fast food feel of this restaurant. It was clean and organized.

Well we haven't been back to Bolays in a while so we decided to give it another try. We stopped…read morecoming when their menu changed. The used to serve pork tenderloin which was like nothing at any other restaurant. They replace with a pulled pork, then no pork at all. When that was taken off the menu we sort of gravitated towards other options. Coming back, there were even more changes to the menu. The usual favorites are still here, mine being the warm sweet potato noodles. My wife got the pesto noodles but they were served cold (a bit of a shock). My regular bowl was overflowing with noodles and roasted broccoli. Both good I got teriyaki chicken as my protein, it was just ok, the base and veggies made the dish. The toppings and sauce completed the bowl. It was good. My wife got the roasted chicken thigh (bone in). That was delicious. Surprisingly good. Service was outstanding, they have a great crew here. That's a plus over most fast food chains. So a few years (yes years) removed from eating here last, I'd say they're still pretty good. Good healthy option, decent price. Also, the restaurant is nice and clean and tidy!

The service is good and the food is…read moregenerally consistent with delicious flavors and there is so much on the menu to choose from that I think even the pickiest eater can find something that they would really enjoy. Today we had a " Deep Dish Ziti" that has meatballs, Italian sausage, pepperoni, marinara, creamy alfredo, Italian herbs, lot's of creamy mozzarella & Parmesan cheese and fresh basil with a garlic knot on the side! So good and it just hits the spot. This may not be an Italian restaurant but honestly this dish was really wonderful and it tasted authentic and like the Italian food I always had from home. A fabulous combination of meats, cheeses, sauces & herbs everything just came together so nicely I would order it again! We also had the "New Orleans Jambalaya" this dish consists of blackened chickened breast, sautéed shrimp, chicken andouille-sausage, bell peppers, tomatoes, onions, a Cajun spiced broth over rice pilaf! The flavors here are done really well! It tasted nice and everything was cooked terrific. We decided to share some dessert so we ordered a "Salted Caramel Pizookie" which is a warm caramel cookie with sweet almond toffee, crunchy pretzel bites, white + Ghirardelli dark chocolate chips, topped with vanilla bean ice cream and caramel sauce! Absolutely heavenly! They have about 12 different Pizookie flavors and options including a Gluten-free option, a Dubai flavor, strawberry shortcake, monster and more!

Gluten-free options, a kids menu, pasta, burgers, pizza, steak and slow roasted meals, entree salads, soups and more! Do not hesitate this place is worth stopping at and having a meal.

Our party of six was ready for a great meal, and some of us got it…read more Our server was very nice, but little extras like additional salad dressing was not delivered with the salad, and after a long wait had to be asked for again. I ordered a ribeye steak, which was cooked as requested, but the sweet potato fries I'd ordered were not delivered. After a wait this and a couple of other small things was mentioned to our server, and about the time everyone else was finished eating, a small plate with regular fries was finally brought to the table. One member of our party ordered a Tri- Tip steak cooked medium rare, it came out to her practically raw. After a long wait, this was pointed out to our server who took it back to the kitchen. After a while, it was returned exactly as it had been... still nearly raw, but with some fresh sauce poured over it. Since everyone else had finished their meals by this time, I requested the meal be comped, which our server did. All in all not the enjoyable evening we'd looked forward to, unfortunately. A couple of points: all the misdelivered and undelivered items could have been avoided if the runners were aware of what had been ordered before taking it the the table. The steak issue is on the grill chef who messed it up the first time and then tried to get slick the second time - as if fresh sauce would solve the problem. The entire meal came to around $169 -after the comped uneaten steak. On the upside, the burgers and ribs were said to be tasty, and the various sides as well. Our server handled things well, so props to him... and a decent tip despite everything. I may be back for a burger and beer.
