    The food was ok but pricey for what you got. I had liver and onions with mashed potatoes and green beans. The liver was very chewy not how I like liver. The potatoes were in a small ramekin not buttery had a crust on top. My wife had the blackened grouper and was good but very pricey. Their French onion soup was awesome. My wife had their lobster bisque and it was good. Our waiter was one of the best we had from almost all restaurants we go to. His name is Alex excellent service Not sure I would rush back to eat here

    Wanted to try a new place to celebrate valentines with wife and another couple. Huge mistake!!! Thought that this would be a good choice as they are very pricy. Love good food but what a disappointment. The prices are very high and the quality is not there. Service was horrible as the food was not served promptly and we commented to the waitress about the service. She states that they were very busy as it was valentines day...dugh what is a restaurant for. don't tell the customer that they are very busy!!!! Will not recommend this establishment. Food was not hot and was not tasty as I had expected. I was embarrassed that I had invited my good friends to attend and they were also very disappointed. The management needs to train the staff that they are in the RESTAURANT BUSINESS. Service and quality that is the element that supports their pricing.

    What an excellent surprise. My friend and I came from different ends of the state for a long awaited girls lunch. We stumbled upon this local treasure and we had a wonderful lunch at this gem in Ocala. Our server was excellent. The food was beyond expectations. I even bought dinner for my hubby. Delicious. We enjoyed the onion and chicken appetizer plus the braised beef and crab cakes. The chef is a very gifted person. We will be back.
