    This was our first time visiting Stirrups with friends who live in Ocala. We had a lovely evening! The service was impeccable, the food was delicious and the upscale ‘equestrian’ vibe was so enjoyable! We will definitely be back on our next trip to Ocala!

    Incredible as usual and expected. Rented the golf cart for a couple of hours drove around went to the chapel and meditated. The Roberts family really exceeded the quality level with this piece of paradise. Although we live 10 minutes away, it's like spending time at a resort. Food and service is top quality. Emma's the pastry shop is like going to France without the airfare. If you are coming to or live in Ocala, this is a must visit. At the very least put it on your bucket list.

    Service was good. Food was a disappointment. Steaks weren’t cooked properly; had to send back 2x. Went for a special anniversary dinner celebration and received no special celebratory dessert. Highly overpriced for mediocre food.

    This was our first trip to WEC and our first time dining at Stirrups. It was an amazing evening - the food was exceptional, the dining room is so beautiful and elegant, but the best part of the evening was our service by Manny. He shared with us that this was his first night as a server and he was the perfect ambassador of hospitality. Thank you for this lovely experience...we will be back!

    Stirrups & WEC is stunning. Service & hospitality is top notch. Worth the hours drive for a spectacular dining experience. Would suggest trying the deviled eggs at least one time and then the rest of the appetizers. Steaks are prepared perfectly but so is the burger. The backed potatoes are enormous along w all the other sides. While it is $$$$ to dine at Stirrups it is worth it if you are looking for an elegant (yet casual) dining experience.

    As usual, we were treated like royalty. Haley and Dominic were perfect servers - well trained, smart, efficient, and friendly. As usual, the cuisine and presentation were exquisite. We also appreciated the beautiful way in which the food portions we did not finish were packaged for taking with us - and the extra bread rolls and spreads that were included in the bag. We just don't receive that kind of pampering anywhere else! Thank you. We feel blessed to have Stirrups in our community.

    We come to stirrups about once a month. This was the worst as far as service was concerned. We waited over half an hour for our wine to be poured, had to ask for bread service, and the cleanup after each course was poor. We love their food but I hope they get a handle on the service issues.
