Arrived for a 5:30 dinner with a party of 8. The place wasn't too packed then on a Thursday upon arrival which was nice. The waiter Pablo was very engaging with our kiddos and even pulled out some tricks the girls enjoyed. The menu is pretty expansive with plenty of shareable and individual options, seafood, steak, pastas, other proteins. Large drink menu with a variety of cocktails and mocktails. The lychee martini was great, crisp, cold and not too sweet. Altho the first time I didn't have a lychee in the drink. Food wise we ordered: Scallop linguini (4/5): well cooked, scallops were perfect, pasta el dente sauce was a little too heavy on the butter taste like they melted a stick of butter on top. Could use more spices/herbs Schnitzel (4/5) Perfectly crispy and substantial portion Veal scallopine (4/5) Came with two pieces and side of asparagus which was the star. Sauce not too creamy and a hint of lemon. Baked Alaska (3/5) Fun, enough to share with 4 adults pretty dense Espresso martinis (4/5) No baileys perfectly mixed not too strong and well balanced The place gets pretty packed as you progress into the evening especially at the bar. Space is pretty big, and offers some large tables and booths for various party sizes. Parking is a private lot; would recommend making a reservation.

We came to 844 Gulf & Prime for a New Year's Eve dinner and absolutely loved it. The ambiance is great. Our server Mario was absolutely one of the best servers we have ever had. We did not have to wait for our food to come out, it came out quickly and tasted absolutely exquisite. They never allowed a dirty plate to sit at the table. They came and cleared it as soon as we were done and gave us new silverware after every app and for our dinner. We will definitely be coming back.

What a fabulous restaurant! Reasonable, great food, many menu choices. From the delicious bread basket, to the sommelier, who recommended the wine choises, to the appetizers (i had the tuna tartare) to our meals - everyone was pleased! Our server, Jimena, was the best! Dinner for four plus drinks, $200. Well worth it!! Also, great ambience...highly recommend.

Great food and wine list. Our service with Marty was the best Enjoyed going early for a more quite atmosphere

Lamb chops- amazing, triple tail, fantastic, fillet- perfect, salmon- phenomenal. The most amazing thing was that I left my credit card, figured it out the next day while in Sarasota. I called, they had it, and someone from the restaurant was driving to Tampa and actually brought it to me personally. Amazing top shelf customer service!!

A Wonderful Restaurant for a 25th Anniversary Dinner - - - - - - - - September, 2024 Visit We visited Marco Island for our 25th anniversary, per a recommendation from friends; we're glad we went... what a great trip. We stayed at the Marriott Crystal Shores and the Concierge gave us a a couple recommendations, and 844 Gulf & Prime was one. On a relaxing anniversary day, we got a late start, which was just fine. We arrived and were greeted by Marty who was our server. The restaurant is only a year old; while it looks nice and new, there is also a feel of being a well-established restaurant, as if it has been there decades; perhaps it is because Marty and others have worked in the industry and brought their experience to make 844 that much better than others, a find dining experience. The food was wonderful, definitely in part because I shared it with my wonderful wide, and also because the chef knows how to cook. We enjoyed: - House salad - Bread and butter, and gluten-free veggies for my wife - so fine! - Hogfish with greens and mushrooms and squash - so OOD - Stuffed grouper - very good rice with a miso sauce bure blanc sauce - so GOOD - we didn't ask for it, so we were nicely surprised when Marty brought us, for dessert, a raspberry mousse - WOW! Mai this often make people think of Hawaii, likely because they were invented, in Oakland, CA, at Trader Vic's, with it's tiki/polynesian theme. We've been blessed to enjoy Mai Tais at a few places over the years... and we definitely enjoyed the Mai Tais 844 serves... by far the best we've had, anywhere! This was a short trip; if we'd had another night we would have returned for a second dinner, or possibly lunch... so good. Thank you, Marty and 844 Gulf & Prime! ----- ----- -----

Go for the steak stay for the bananas I've read the reviews about the fish (go to Lee Be Fish up the road if you want the best fish in the area) and decided to go for the steak. Being from the Midwest, we think we know good steak. 844 did not disappoint! Our server Rich was great and attentive (they have a $60 martini on the menu and glad he alerted us before delivering it). As it was late, we ordered right away - a filet and the beef tenderloin. Outstanding is the only way to describe the meal. Filet was perfectly cooked with asparagus and potatoes. The truffles and foie gras paired with the Madeira sauce really complimented the tenderloin and was perfectly balanced. Completely satisfied, we almost passed on the bananas foster. Glad that we didn't! This is our new go to steak house on Marco Island

Beautiful new restaurant with a great ambiance now in Marco! The 844 Gulf & Prime is for those who want to enjoy great cocktails, seafood and steaks. There's a bit for everyone to experience and enjoy with great quality and amazing service. We were fortunate to sit with Marty, what a great cordial gentleman and amazing hospitality. Marty will make your dining experience memorable. We started with the grilled oysters, delicious, took us back to the acme oyster house in New Orleans, delicious and would definitely recommend. Our mains included the Corvina as well as the Scallops. Both accompanied with rice pilaf and veggies. Delicate, light and delicious and the scallops were in a buttery cheesy sauce just amazing. We ended the evening with the baked Alaska, also light and sweet but amazing. We also were attended by Rene, which always made sure our plates, bread service and table was cleared. We would definitely recommend 844 and if you can ask for Marty!
