Locally owned steakhouses are a rare sight in Gainesville, but three standout when it comes to tender and flavorful cuts.

Embers Wood Fired Grill

3545 SW 34th St., Suite A, Gainesville; 352-380-0901; embersofflorida.com

A Gainesville fine-dining staple since 2009, all of the 100% USDA Prime Beef at Embers is prepared over a wood-fired grill. Choose from the New York strip, filet mignon or, for those with a heartier appetite, the 24-ounce bone-in ribeye or the 22-ounce porterhouse. Top your steak Oscar-style or with a homemade béarnaise sauce. Those not looking for beef can select from the duck, chicken or lamb chops, or a variety of seafood dishes such as the king salmon or yellowfin tuna. All entrees are served with two sides. Be sure to grab a cup of Embers' award-winning Blue Crab
