Braised Onion - Ocala

We visited the restaurant to check it out for our wedding dinner coming up next month. As someone who is quite particular about food, I can confidently say that this was the best meal I've had in Ocala and it ranks in my Top 5 of all time. The General Manager, Trevor, was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, taking the time to discuss everything with us. He is a true professional and an invaluable asset to the restaurant.

My husband and I visited this restaurant for the first time, and we were absolutely amazed. The service, the ambiance, and the food were all perfect. We started with the onion fritter as an appetizer. For dinner, I had the lobster risotto, while my husband enjoyed the roasted steak. It was the best meal I've ever had, surpassing even my experience at Gordon Ramsay's Hell's Kitchen. Everything was seasoned to perfection. I can't speak highly enough about our dining experience—the staff was attentive, friendly, and very professional. For dessert, we took home chocolate mousse and a pint of Tahitian vanilla bean ice cream, and they were heavenly! We've definitely found our new favorite restaurant!

This was a lovely experience. The waitstaff were friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome. The food was outstanding; the short rib was tender and perfectly seasoned. The homemade potato had a delightful flavor with a hint of cheese. The shrimp and grits were excellent as well. I opted for the half salad with Greek dressing, and it was refreshing. For appetizers, we tried the Pow Pow chicken, which was light, crispy, and had just the right amount of spice for my taste. Overall, I was very pleased with the experience, and we plan to return.

This place is the figurative and literal interpretation of a diamond in the rough. It's 50 miles north of where I live, which is a terrible long way to drive for a disappointment. Let us talk about the environment; it is very intimate by the presence of at least three other pairs on the date night. It took us a while to get space, but after we sat service was impeccable. The French Braised Onion soup has quickly formed for it. It was the best I ever had. They have done an excellent job to marry flavors together. My wife had the Braised Short Rib Stroganoff. I gambled on the Aubergines Parmigiana; I rarely order it because most restaurants rarely get right. If I had to describe with a word, I would use perfection. Finally we shared their bread pudding for dessert, my wife rarely ordered bread pudding for the same reason I rarely order Eggplant Parmigiana . Most restaurants rarely get it right. It was the highlight of the day dinner. I loved eating at Braised Onion. I'm looking forward to Date Night with Lobster Mac 'n Cheese.

My husband ⟟ were just passing through and were looking for an interesting place to grab lunch. We googled restaurants near us and clicked on Braised Union. Thought it looked like an interesting place. We had an excellent experience. The wait staff were so friendly and helpful. Even shared the history of the restaurant. AND THE FOOD....everything was beautifully presented and so fresh. We are already making plans to come back and bring friends. Our favorite items so far: appetizers Maryland Crab Cakes (the mango salsa- amazing ⟟ am not big fan of mango). And the desserts....the Chocolate Mousse the Bread Pudding are to die for. Excellent experience!!!
