Have always loved this restaurant. Yesterday my husband picked up a dinner for us. The shrimp and Mac and cheese were very good as usual. However. The vegetables were soggy frozen vegetables. How disappointing!!!! Couldn’t eat it!!! Wouldn’t give it to my dog! How easy it is to steam FRESH vegetables. This is supposed to be a great dining experience. STAY away unless crinkled cut carrots and water limp cauliflower and unrecognizable broccoli is worry of your $$$$$ 😢😢

Picked up a dinner for us The veggies were soggy frozen crinkle cut carrots and soggy cauliflower and broccoli. The listed it as veg medley AWFUL. What reputable chef would serve such a thing???? Steaming FRESH broccoli can be done by a 10 year old. Shane on this place. And the prices are NOT cheap.

My first visit was a group business dinner with 18 people. The head waiter, Evan, did a great job of taking care of the attendees. He had 2 helpers. The private room was amazing with a quiet sliding barn door. Appetizers were outstanding with Pimento cheese fritters being popular, bacon wrapped dates and fried green tomatoes to top it off. Best filet mignon I’ve had since moving to FL. Perfect pink and warm in the center. All side were great as well. Told my family it put Mark’s to shame and was less expensive!

So I had mixed feelings about this place after a terrible cardboard filet I ordered 2 weeks ago. It was memorably bad! So were the veggies that accompanied it, lousy!

So with that being said. I have had nothing but good experiences here with 2 dishes. The salmon salmon, and butterfly shrimp. They actually clean their shrimp here properly, WOW! THAT IS HUGE HERE IN THIS AREA- IM SUPER IMPRESSED!

The ambiance is very lovely and enjoyable. I do recommend this place above most all in the marion county area. Good food here is rare and appreciated! Thank you for the beauty of this restaurant. The consistently good dishes, and good service. Keep it up, and check on the quality of those filets please 🙏

It's okay. Overpriced. Quality is okay but honestly, you'll get more bang for your buck and better environment over at Harry's. It was okay but wouldn't go again.

This review is long overdue. My wife and I have visited several times, often bringing friends and family to enjoy the great food. The food has always been excellent, and the staff is very friendly. My personal favorite is the shrimp and grits.

My mom and I were in Ocala for a doctor’s appointment and this was the first place that popped up when I searched for food. I’m so glad it was because not only was the food great but the atmosphere and service was top tier too. The amount of food was crazy for the price and we had so much left over to take home. The cornbread had to be one of our favorites on the plate. We really enjoyed the pimento cheese balls and even my Caesar salad was so good it needs to be mentioned. I can’t wait to bring my husband back next time we are down from north Florida.
