    Many choices of creative freshly made menu items. Lovely curated drinks and a most amazing, informed waitress in Allison made for a lovely family night out!

    Andrew, our server, was great and friendly. Any negative thoughts are not related to the service…for the most part. However Andrew was handed a very large party and our service went downhill as he tried to get to everyone, but the party kept him very busy. Food. Just ok. My daughter’s lobster risotto was very good, but my pecan crusted salmon was bland and dry. Fried green tomatoes were not the standard flavoring with a spicy Cajun ranch sauce, but with an odd mix of corn and crab that just didn’t hit the mark. Bread pudding was more a crème brûlée custard dessert than true bread pudding. Good, not great. All in all, the visit was fine, the server was great but the food was disappointing and the room was overly loud and echoing. Just not up to expectations.

    Amazing food, always great service. Alex once again has proven to be the epitome of a great server. Always attentive (but not overly so) and he always makes sure that everything goes well. Kudos to the entire staff as they are always polite, professional and go out of their way to make sure that our dining experience is good. Best bartender in Ocala.

    Met some family for a quick dinner while passing through Ocala. Great choice. The food was great, Rachael our server was efficient and pleasant. The meatloaf was a big hit, my chicken picatta was delicious!

    Everyone in our party of four agreed that this was an excellent dining experience. The wait staff was very attentive and our meals were served promptly. All four of us ordered something different and nobody was disappointed. Meals included the filet mignon, lobster risotto, fish & chips and short ribs stroganoff. We will definitely return in the future to sample other menu choices.

    Food is average- the filet was excessively salty and barely edible. Service was less than attentive. Failed to clear appetizer plates when meal came and had to be asked. Asked for drinks took an excessively long time. This is definitely a one and done place.
