    Always a great experience at La Cuisine. Introduced some friends and they will be back also! Cannot beat the braised short ribs and the Steak Tartare is one of our favorite appetizers anywhere. The service was amazing as always! You just cannot go wrong with this gem!

    Yet another fantastic dining experience at La Cuisine! This time we brought friends who had not been there before, but kept asking about it. They loved it! I tired something different this time—the Beef Bourguignon over fettuccini noodles. It was SO GOOD. French comfort food. But before the main course my table shared escargot. My guests said it was the best they ever had. The salads were so fresh, and of course you can't forget my favorite part of the meal—the fresh baked bread! Everybody loved their meals, and the owner, Elodie was nice enough to stop by and say "hi" for a bit. Looking forward to many more visits to La Cuisine!

    We are regular customers of La cuisine and have always had outstanding food and service so decided to have our Easter dinner there. I had the duck dinner and it was perfect. My wife had the special salmon dinner. The salmon was perfect, the sides were horrible. The broccolini was unchewable and the other side something from the rice family ( the waitress was not Sure) was unchewable. , the waitress said she would tell the chef. Also, we have always had excellent service but I think our waitress was new and needs a little more training. We were never asked if we wanted more bread, she never asked if we wanted another drink until the check arrived, didn’t remove the appetizer dishes until we handed them to her and never cleaned the crumbs off the table. These are not big things but for we consider a five star restaurant in Ocala we think this waitress needs a little more polish.

    We enjoyed our visit and our menu selection were delicious! But we were not aware that brunch would not be served due to Easter Sunday also our server, Kelly, never mentioned the 3 “specials” for the day . All & all very charming - the homemade ice cream was fantastic- passion fruit chocolate! We will return !
