   authentic french cooking with an excellent nod to those of us who need to be gluten free. I was more than pleasantly surprised at the gluten free and gluten free possible dishes were there for the offering. My only suggestion is to have,if possible,a gluten free bread of some kind to better sop up my escargot!

   “Fine dining” as good as we’ve experienced in this part of Florida. Expect higher prices, good ambiance and very good service which it had, but overall value was less than expected. For instance, ribeye steak special was very good, tasty and cooked to preferred medium rare, but for $72 ? It didn’t measure up in terms of quality which at that price I’ve had far better elsewhere.

   This was our first visit to this restaurant, and we were very pleasantly surprised despite the positive reviews we had read. We had a mussels appetizer, which was excellent although the mussels were not as plump as they could’ve been although that may be the season, we had bouillabaisse and grouper as entrees. Both were excellent with plenty of seafood, well prepared and excellent flavor. We shared the daily soufflé for dessert, which was blueberry, and was phenomenal and perfectly done. We will definitely return.

   We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary at our favorite restaurant, La Cuisine. Everything always seems so special there, from the service to the food and ambiance. Their delicate soufflés are always the way to finish the perfect meal!

   This is not a fast food restaurant. It is a place to really sit down and enjoy your companions, the ambiance, the excellent food, wine and desserts. If you're looking to rush in and rush out, don't go here. I would definitely make a reservation. We had the boneless beef ribs and gratin potatoes, which were excellent, as was the onion soup and even the burger. Breads and cheese tray were wonderful. I highly recommend La Cuisine for fine dining in Ocala. We have been there before and the entertainment is very good but there was none the evening that we went this time.

   We were welcomed as soon as we arrived. We were seated immediately, the waitress was very attentive. Our drinks came quickly and the French martini I had was yummy. The food was presented well, great flavor and a very nice service size. It is one of my favorite restaurants for special occasions or Sunday Brunch. Don’t miss 👍👍

    As a recent resident to Florida from the Northeast I’ve been searching for a good restaurant. We’ve tried all the recommendations in the paper and from new friends but La Cuisine is the only restaurant we return to for excellent food, great service, warm inviting venue, and reasonable prices. This is truly an exceptional dining experience.

    Food and service was disappointing. Grouper was not the best quality and prepared with too much butter. Swordfish was also not the best quality and a bit overcooked and tough. Service was not that great; e.g. had to ask twice for wine list, no butter with bread, etc. Don't mind spending top dollar for great quality food and service, but La Cuisine just doesn't measure up.

    Amazing dining experience! We had high expectations based on the reviews, but somehow we were still blown away. The menu, service, and food were excellent. Even the attention to the smallest details - and you will know what I mean when you are there - show how much the owners care about making this place special. My wife and I each ordered 4 courses but we left wishing we could have tried more of the menu. It was totally worth the drive from Orlando, and we will definitely be back.

    Unfortunately the service was very slow. We ordered a burger without a bun for someone who was gluten free. They delivered it with the bun. Then when it was brought to their attention they took it back. Brought it back a minute later without the bun but the bread crumbs were all of the burger from the bun they just removed. We then brought it back to their attention as this is a allergy and they finally remade it. We had to probably wait twenty minutes for another one.

Service is always top notch and the owners are very visible and always make sure you have enjoyed your meal. This is authentic french food at its finest!

    What a disappointment! Last year same time we had an amazing meal so we anticipated the same this year. I was so looking forward to foie gras on gingerbread having had it last year. Reading the menu tonight, the same preparation was promised. Unfortunately when the dish was served it was a far cry from the delicacy served last year. Instead of a single piece of well prepared liver, we were served small nuggets sat atop a piece of soggy bread. Unclear the pairing with balsamic reduction. Such a shame. We ordered the bouillabaisse and when it was presented to the table, one serving included the toast with rouille and the other dinner did not. We had to wait for the second serving of toast which rendered both dishes tepid. We were told the missing toast was dropped on the floor and the servers thought it best not to serve that piece. Should be grateful I guess. Lastly, while clearing the table, the server dropped a dirty knife into the lap of my dining companion. It was a shame and since the restaurant is a good 49 minute drive, I can say I will not return or recommend this once promising eatery to anyone.

    La Cuisine is a fabulous French Restaurant. We went for Husband's birthday and the waiter wished him a HB upon seating. Food is off the charts, it is delicious, sauces are amazing. The owner came over to make sure everything was going well and at the end of our meal they gave us 2 champaigns in honor of his birthday. We will surely go again, it is a fine restaurant with excellent food.

    Disappointed: Four of us dined there last night, and walked away very unimpressed. We each ordered an appetizer and four entrées, and a glass of wine ahead of time.The foie gras and escargots were nice. The imported French cheese plate had a Manchego, a Comte and another goat. Manchego is from Spain and the goat cheese was not French that we could tell either. You would expect a nice double cream, etc. These seemed like Sam’s buying club bought cheeses. When we asked the waiter. he really just shrugged his shoulders. We also also ordered the steak tartare. House grind good, but Very bland - there should’ve been some seasoning mixed in with the meat. As for the entrées, we ordered a beef Bourguignon, which was the best of all four entrées. The mushroom Tajine, which was just used to serve the meal. It was not used to cook the meal in as customary. This dish lacked proper seasoning, and missing walnuts. the brie cheese they did put in should have had the rind cut off. I ended up with strands of rind in my dish. I did not finish it. We also ordered the cassoulet which was pretty clear they used canned beans, the duck Confit was not confit but roasted. It was served with a sausage that was std - didn’t even ask or see the pork belly. . And lastly was the chicken airline breast. The Cremini mushroom demi-glace, did not taste homemade but very familiar to a canned soup. I’m not happy having to give this review, but after spending over $300 on this dinner, I expected a better meal. One of our dinner guests that evening was a chef so maybe that didn’t help?

    We thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The food and service were OUTSTANDING. The fois gras sublime and the escargot even more so. To say the food was delicious was an understatement. The souffles for dessert were the best we've ever had here in the states. Our server was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Timing of the meal impeccable. The only thing that was difficult was the noise level, as the tables are quite close and later in our meal there was live music. While most of our party this didn't bother them, but there is one person who is severely hearing impaired and it made listening and participating in conversation difficult. But they still REALLY enjoyed the dining experience. We will definitely be back.

    Service was exceptional and the food was wonderful, as always! While we appreciate having live music, it was extremely loud. We were lucky to be in a separate dining room, but it was still uncomfortably loud. While traveling from Gainesville to Ocala, we encountered an accident on I-75 and we’re going to be 20 minutes late for our reservation. When I called and asked if they could hold the reservation, they kindly agreed and even gave me a decorated plate with a birthday scoop of ice cream after dinner! It was a nice surprise! We always look forward to special occasions at La Cuisine!
