The Shula's StoryEstablished in 1989, Shula's Steak House started with one goal in mind - to carry on the legacy of Coach Don Shula, one of the greatest coaches in NFL history. 30 years later, we've taken that goal and run with it. We're proud to offer the highest quality steaks, fresh-caught seafood, and tantalizing sides.Inspired by CoachWinners are a different breed. Winners work hard, winners value the small details, and winners never cut corners.When Coach Don Shula opened the first Shula's Steak House in 1989, he took his winning formula to a whole new level. He wanted to provide the highest quality steaks in a warm, inviting setting. There's an ethos to excellence - it doesn't matter if you're coaching an undefeated football team, or grilling up a porterhouse - we make sure we live by it.

    Our server, Carmel, was knowledgeable and professional. She was attentive to our needs while still affording us the ability to enjoy our meal without excessive interruptions. The plate presentation was classy and the food was delectable. My daughter raved about the grilled lamb basted in rosemary butter. We are looking forward to our next visit.

    A wonderful pan-Asian experience - The atmosphere is relaxing and upscale and the food is wonderful. A great menu that keeps evolving with the seasons and now has a great selection of dessert to finish a very nice meal. The food presentation is top class. A must visit place to visit in Gainesville.

    Virtually no one around Gainesville knows where Eleo Hotel or Covey Kitchen is located nor have they even heard of them. That is sad because the service in the restaurant is very good and the food is delicious. The only problem for me is that the ambience is not fine restaurant but Florida hotel restaurant. It was my guest’s birthday which was posted on my reservation but the server was not made aware. Immediately upon my telling her she comped one of the desserts. I certainly hope to return to Covey Kitchen!
