    The food was great. I was a little disappointed by the size of the steak tartare which was an appetizer. I wish they would have it as a main course. I loved the floating island which is my favorite dessert and the size of the dessert was amazing. It has been few years since we ate at la cuisine but we are never disappointed. Great French restaurant. I would recommend this restaurant

    Christmas Eve dinner at La Cuisine has been a tradition with my family since it opened. It is a beautiful way to connect with family over great food. The food is always the start of the show and has remained excellent since the beginning. With fantastic service in a romantic setting, you couldn't ask for anything more perfect for the holiday. Try the Foie gras on Gingerbread! The roast duck is also very delicious, and the tomato risotto is lush and a must-have!

    We live in Crystal River. Unfortunately there are only a few really good restaurants in Crystal River. Instead we have to drive to Ocala for a really good restaurant. La Cuisine is one of those. We really should visit more often. As world travelers we are familiar with the European style of restaurant service. Yet here we have it in La Cuisine.

    Great experience at La Cuisine yesterday. The food was sumptuous and absolutely amazing. We both had the carrot soup and the filet. Both were worthy of a Michelin Star. Our server Kyle was attentive and very helpful. He added to our enjoyment of the evening.

    Our food was absolutely delicious and the service sublime. We wished we hadn't eaten so much because we had no room for dessert. We will go back to La Cuisine at our next "special" dinner opportunity.
