Coming Soon: Updates on New Restaurants in Gainesville

At Celebration Pointe, we’re upping our game when it comes to hot places to eat in Gainesville. We’ve already got a great selection of restaurants for you to enjoy as you walk the Promenade, shop or attend one of our popular monthly events, like Playlist @ the Pointe or Jazz on the Green.

Right now, you can grab a cold beverage and a burger from Miller’s Ale House. You can share (or not!) a certified-authentic Neapolitan pizza at MidiCi. You can sit down for delicious seafood at The Keys as you sing along with the piano. And soon you’ll be able to choose from three incredible new restaurants, one of which is brought to you by a pretty big Gator football guy.

Spurrier’s Gridiron Grille Will Reach the End Zone in Spring 2021

Steve Spurrier, aka The Head Ball Coach, is bringing his part-restaurant, part-football museum concept to Celebration Pointe early next year. The pandemic has delayed the establishment’s fall opening, but we have some exciting updates on its progress.

You can expect to enjoy the following features as you order from an elevated American-casual menu at one of the most highly anticipated places to eat in Gainesville:

  • Trophies and an exhibit featuring memorabilia from Steve Spurrier’s career
  • Displays throughout the restaurant, including one dedicated to Coach’s famous visors
  • Rooftop bar, called Visors, overlooking Celebration Pointe Promenade and entertainment venue
  • 3 bars serving both the indoor and outdoor patrons
  • 3 private dining rooms, the largest of which will seat up to 50, which can be divided into 2 spaces and adjoins the memorabilia museum

Prime & Pearl Adds Uncommon Steakhouse to Restaurants in Gainesville

With a planned opening date of fall 2020, this bold, creative steakhouse concept, with a former White House chef at the helm, will infuse every dining experience with a sense of wonder.

Enjoy a local, hand-selected 50-ounce tomahawk ribeye perfectly dry aged on-site. Taste an array of oysters from our own gulf waters up to the shores of New England. Choose a unique steak knife that reflects your personality. And quench your thirst for originality with a flavor-cloud-infused cocktail. No matter what you choose, your Prime & Pearl experience will be anything but ordinary.

Sensei Asian Bistro Brings Upscale Aisian Fusion to Celebration Pointe

A sophisticated setting. Craft sake. A blend of classic and modern Asian flavors. What more could you want? Sensei Asian Bistro, also coming fall 2020, will soon be the newest Asian restaurant in Gainesville. And we can’t wait for it to be just steps away from our Promenade! 

The menu will showcase the highest quality ingredients from local markets and farms in the form of entrees such as miso-glazed black cod and sous vide cooked crispy beef, as well as classic sushi rolls, sashimi and nigiri. Get your favorite pair of chopsticks ready!

Hungry for Good Food and Good Times? Visit Celebration Pointe!

We’ve got some of the best restaurants in Gainesville as it is, and we’re adding even more of them in the near future. Whatever your day of shopping and relaxing looks like, you can’t go wrong (or hungry) at Celebration Pointe. Stop by sometime and see for yourself!
