    Lots of choices on the innovative menu, from meatloaf to dishes with truffles. My partner enjoyed the short ribs stroganoff over pappardelle, while I had the lobster (Cold water, claw meat) in a cream sauce over spinach. Both were delicious! We had a reservation for 7:30 and were seated promptly at a comfortable table. Service was friendly and efficient. We will definitely return 😎

    We liked the onion fritter, shrimp cocktail so so. Wife enjoyed “short ribs”, but my pork loin was tasteless and tough. We did enjoy the risotto and veggies were good. Dessert was great. Our Server was cordial, professional and informative. We will try again , but this experience was less than expected.

    As always, we were welcomed by the staff and promptly seated. Service was excellent without being overwhelming. The food was perfectly prepared, served hot, and tasted great. The deserts were made on site and were very good. A perfect evening out.

    Great service and ambiance and their fried green tomatoes and beef Wellington wontons are to die for. The Mac and cheese wasn’t a favorite of mine but the short ribs were delicious.

    The quality and taste of the food was excellent. The cost was comparable to the quality. The service was also excellent and personable!

    Hands down a win win on everything we ordered! From the Beef Wellington wantons to the Swordfish special…the Beef Stroganoff was off the charts too! Oh and the homemade ice cream was insane! Matthew, our server was fantastic! Personable, made great suggestions and delivered cocktails timely! We will be back again on our next trip to Ocala!
