    As always the food served was top notch. Service from host to Manager was polite and friendly. We were greeted and checked on by all staff who were happy to serve even though it was a holiday. We were provided with A++ service from the time we walked into the restaurant til the time we walked to our car.

    Our 4th time dining here and unfortunately it was not good. First 3 times were outstanding. Today several of the sides were horribly undercooked and some were overcooked. Dressing was pale and the consistency of oatmeal. Brussel Sprouts Au Gratin were overcooked and mushy. Our 1st Thanksgiving Buffet we ate here was outstanding. Our 2 dinners here were perfect. Today's buffet was disappointing.

    The food was plentiful with lots of options. The only exception was the appetizers. Only cheese and salad. The cocktails were a bit pricey but very good.

    We had a delightful experience at The Braised Onion. The most wonderful things were the genial and knowledgeable service from Joanne and the second was the quality of the food. We had both the Poached Pear Salad (the pear the perfect sweetness to compliment the vinaigrette) and the half-Caesar wedge which was also crisp and well presented. The classic liver and onions with bacon was very American and well cooked. They generously allowed a substitution for the mashed potatoes with asparagus. This Louisiana native really enjoyed their version of shrimp and grits. Shrimp were perfectly cooked; the sauce had the perfect seasoning with generous portions of andouille sausage. our pre dinner cocktails were well executed; the rolls (with their garlic and parsley topping and the whipped butter) were spot-on. A wonderful evening in Ocala.

    Perfection as usual! We have increased how often we go to the Braised Onion in an attempt to try everything on the menu and you cannot go wrong with anything. The short rib stroganoff is hands down the winner though!
