    We visited here for Father's Day Brunch. We knew it would be pricey, but what the heck? Unfortunately, our meal didn't come until 30 minutes after we ordered . Good food, beautiful room and presentation. disappointing service. They did comp my husband's waffle and apologize.

    Stirrups staff is incredible with huge hearts!!! Michelle was our server , she is so caring and truly interested in those she serves. The whole team helped my mother and I through a beautiful but difficult celebration of my parents what would have been 69 years anniversary. Stirrups was their favorite restaurant. The staff is impeccable the food extraordinary. So lucky to have WEC in Ocala! We will make many more wonderful memories at this truly 5 star restaurant. Thank you all !!!!

    My wife and I enjoyed our 55th Wedding Anniversary with this Stirrups. It was our first time visiting there and we were very pleased, impressed and very satisfied! The employees are interactive, exceptionally pleasant, friendly, caring and they pleasantly and respectfully bless you with courteous, kind, thoughtful true SERVICE! Their care, pleasant service and respect for their “guests” is exemplary and sets an amazingly pleasant atmosphere! Try it you will not regret your decision! Prices are higher than “contemporary resturants” but as my Father always taught me…”long after Price is Forgotten… QUALITY IS WELL REMEMBERED!!!” This is my summation for this wonderful Stirrups and their Exceptional and TOP Quality FOOD, SERVICE, ATMOSPHERE, BEAUTIFUL FACILITY AND QUALITY PERSONNEL WHO ARE 5 ***** STAR IN EVERY WAY!!!

    The food and service are always top notch, one of a kind, incredible! The new menu out a few months ago includes many more gluten-free choices. Stirrups is always our very first choice for first class dining!
