Food was great. Just be aware that the bacon wrapped dates are small and a bit pricey for what you get Signature fried shrimp was delicious so wax the Mac and cheese Service was outstanding and the place is perfect for date night

Good food, excellent service and a nice place. Was in Ocala for some training and this place was recommended to us. We were not disappointed by the food or service. Prices were reasonable, and the place was extremely clean and staff were attentive. Would recommend.

Nice place for lunch! Old school charm, elegant setting in a historic building. I had the Thai chicken salad which was very good, and my husband had the Crispy Baked Chicken which was just ok. Meals served with crescent rolls (good) and cornbread (a little off flavor to it. Reheated maybe?) Service was great, staff was friendly, darling bar area.

We have been residing in Ocala for over a year and a half but it took that long for us to finally try this place. I have had it bookmarked since we moved here but I cannot give a reason why we haven't visited. We are downtown a lot so there should be no excuse. It was a Saturday, earlier in the evening, when we decided to dine here. We went to the movies earlier and were sitting in the car deciding on what to do. Since we were parked in front, hubs suggested here. The restaurant was definitely busy but it did not look packed upon entering. A host walked us to a table in the back. I must say, the set up of the tables and ambiance were definitely unique and I loved it. It was very dark in the restaurant so it was difficult to read the menu. I loved that it was darker than most places. Our server greeted us and took our order for drinks. He was not enthusiastic or personable but still did his job. We also ordered the Bacon wrapped dates as an appetizer and added a side of bleu cheese dressing. We had a very similar appetizer in St. Augustine with bacon wrapped dates that had a bleu cheese compote of some sort and the ingredients were incredible. I wanted to recreate that it was definitely close. I ordered the fried shrimp. There was a lot of food involved! I had a salad that came with it but I think recall it being too impressive. The fried shrimp came with Mac and cheese, green beans, cornbread, and a yeast roll. Of course I did not finish it and took some to go. It was okay. I did think the shrimp was cooked/fried fresh as opposed to the shrimp being fried then frozen. All in all, I did enjoy the ambiance and I would like to visit again. I would like to try other items on the menu and maybe sit at the bar. The lunch menu appears to have different items than the dinner menu so I definitely want to try lunch as well.

Place is a higher class restaurant for me. But the crispy chicken is the best thing on the menu. There are STRICT on the menu. I have eaten at both locations over the years and when they were location on 40 in the Ivy house. They are a little slow on service for a group of 12. I would never go there in a small group as they are not my type of place. I only like 1 item on the menu and I do not drink alcohol so there is no reason to go here unless it is for someone else. Wife does not care for it.

Impromptu ladies trip to Ocala for my friend's birthday and we happened upon this very cute and quaint restaurant and decided to try it out! We were seated right away (we went early) and the furniture was very trendy and unique. The staff were all friendly and helpful, offering suggestions for food on favorites. They did not steer us wrong. We started with drink and I had the Bees Knees mojito which was AMAZING! I love mojito and this was top notch! I went outside my norm and got the Baked Krispy Chicken with a side salad and macaroni and cheese. In addition, it came with vegetables, a dinner roll and the most amazing cornbread! I do not typically eat cornbread but this was irresistible! They topped it off with a piece of birthday cake for my friend's birthday! If you're in Ocala, I highly recommend visiting this place!

We came here while visiting Ocala for the day and were pleased with our visit. Upon arriving we noticed that there were some outside seating areas in addition to the indoor area. There was also bar seating available. The decor and theming of restaurant was very fun and antique like! We came around 1 on a Saturday and had a short wait before getting seated. All of the staff and servers we interacted with were kind and helpful. Our food came out in a timely manner as well! The food portions were fair considering the price. I do feel that food was okay. We thought the breading on the chicken was interesting, but nothing to write home about. Overall we enjoyed our meal though. We enjoyed our time here and if in the area we would consider coming back again!

What a great find! We were actually at the gardens and drove about 40 minutes to get here, but it was worth it. We went to the original one by the Woodland Gardens, but they were closed as they had a fire and they referred us to this other location. Wanting to scout the area we didn't mind the drive to get here. What a beautiful restaurant! And the service was fantastic! We were not dressed as nicely as I would like to have been dressed because we were basically in exercise attire from hiking, but they let us in and they were kind about it I would recommend nice casual wear or resort wear here. What a great menu of Southern foods with plenty of selection. They were all served so creatively and beautifully! Everything tasted fabulous. There were four of us in the group and we all were very pleased when we left with the portion size and the taste and quality of our lunch! And I cannot tell you how great that iced tea was after coming off a long hike! It was fabulous! Our waiter was soo friendly and welcoming. Explaining everything to my younger Littles. The restaurant is beautiful. It gives a Charleston vibe to me and I'm all for it! . Beautiful decor, comfortable and unique seating. The chandeliers were gorgeous, adding a nice touch to the design of the restaurant. I've included some pictures of our lunch for you. If you're in the Ocala area, this is in the trendy part of it. I will definitely go back when I'm over there. They do have some outdoor seating tables for a beautiful day. Don't miss this one!
