Stopped by District Bar and Kitchen for a late lunch/early dinner on a beautiful spring day…read more The temperature outside was pleasant and so my dining companion and I opted for lunch on their patio. We were on their bottom floor patio (which was lovely) but I did spy that they have a rooftop patio as well (what's not to love?!?). Everything from the food to the cocktails to the service was exemplary. For my cocktail I got their Old Colonel's Smoking Gun which was their twist on an old fashioned and was delightful. For my entree, I got their salmon entree. It's glazed and comes with a size of their crispy brussels and cheesy grits. The brussels were delish and their cheesy grits rank among some of the best I've had with sharp cheddar giving them the perfect flavor kick. The atmosphere was so pleasant. It's definitely the sort of spot you'll feel tempted to linger. Get to it!

Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves as we came here on a whim. The restaurant we were trying to visit was…read moreclosed so we headed down the street to check out District Bar and Kitchen. Server recommended the Double Smash Burger a favorite among the locals who frequent, so I went with that and added truffle fries as my side. My wife ordered the brunch special Super French Toast. Both dishes we good but I would say my Burger shined with 5 stars the Super French toast good but average nothing stood out 3 Service was good and we enjoyed ourselves we both recommend you trying this out for yourself as we will be back again to further delve into the depth of the District menu

My favorite place in Ocala. Cool interior, nice wait staff, relaxing atmosphere and TERRIFIC food…read more Save room for dessert or take it home. Been here a number of times, but I don't recall what I've had every time & I've not taken pictures every time. Their dessert menu is off the hook. I've order the peanut butter pie repeatedly and it's the best I've had in 50 years. Orders I do recall: * Tomato soup: the absolute best and a crave item * Peanut butter pie, has a layer of dark chocolate and the pb part has a nice stronger flavor than many. * Key Lime pie - best I've had since moving to Florida! Only bad thing is now do I order this or the pb pie - oh what a challenge & still so many more of their desserts to try * Meatloaf plate - very good. I'd have it again. * Fish fry - I didn't have it, but a friend did and said it was terrific! She shared a delicious hushpuppy with me. * Hawaiian Tuna Melt - has grilled pineapple on it and sort of a wild addition, but totally works & delicious * Chicken wrap with salad and soup, For salad, I picked the pasta salad - it's good, but could use a bit of red wine vinegar or more of it for my tastes, but I like it. For soup, it's been the summer Watermelon Gazpacho- and that's fantastic!

Great ambiance. Quiet setting allowing easy conversation at the table…read more 6 of us went to dinner and enjoyed a wide variety of scrumptious food. Starting with their Braised Onion Soup, followed by their Country Fried Steak with green beans and mashed potatoes. Others had crab cakes and blacked grouper. Everything was awesome. I finished up with a delightful bread pudding!! YUM!! The service was also excellent. I will return. Tell 'em BaddBob sent a ya!!

Very neat interior, and clean. Helpful server. Very nice music…read more The food was OK, served fresh and hot. BUT.... it was not very flavorful, kind of bland. I had onion soup which is supposed to be their specialty. The cheese was melted but not browned as I like to see and broth was light in flavor. We both decided we like the onion soup at a popular chain steakhouse better. I had the meatloaf... not a lot of flavor, kind of boring. My wife had liver and onions and said it had a lot of veins in the meat. We wanted to get he bread pudding which had a wonderful description, but they didn't have any. We'll go back , but will try other entrees, and no onion soup. it seems like most other restaurants these days have a more modern flare for flavor, with exciting flavor bursts in meals. This place seems stuck in history a number of years back. Again not bad (except for my wife's entree) but boring. We saw some other entrees that we have hope for so we will give it another shot in a while.

This is a difficult review! We went as a family of four. We were greeted and seated quickly. Our…read morewaiter was efficient and nice had a good personality. The menu is good lots of options. When we walked in my family felt like it smelled bad. ( everyone had opinions about how it smelled. Smoky, liquory, old meatish, cleaning products) with that being said it made it difficult to eat the food because of the smells. Personally I didn't have a problem because I smelt the smoke and it didn't bother me. The food: we had the fried pickles. They were very good! The sauce is excellent. We ordered 2 meat platters & one sides meal. The meat platters the pulled pork was excellent, the ribs were ok and the brisket was not good. One of us thought it smelled bad. The fries were over seasoned with salt, the onion rings were good, the sweet potatoes were excellent, the mashed potatoes were ok, the corn ok but had good taste, the green beans were good, the Mac n cheese was good! Overall we have been here before a few times and had great food, so I'm not sure what was going on tonight!

My wife and I were eagerly awaiting the opening of the New Wolfy's after a lengthy closure and…read morerenovation following a change in ownership. Now owned by the proprietors of Scrambles, we're glad they kept the iconic name even if there's a new menu. We drove in and parked in the back where there are stairs leading you to a back entrance. We were immediately seated in a booth along Silver Springs Blvd./Hwy 40 and noticed how good the sound insulation was. The place looked clean and new, and our server, who worked for the original Wolfy's for 14 years, acknowledged that the place needed some refurbishing. After looking at the menu, my wife ordered the Southwest Avocado omelet with hash browns ($13.39) (they didn't have grilled potatoes because they were closed for the 4th of July our server informed us) and I tried their Eggs Benedict Arnold with hash browns ($13.29). My wife also ordered coffee. My wife loved her omelet commenting how fluffy the eggs were and how flavorful the sausage, fire roasted corn and black beans were. She also liked the fresh lime cream and avocado slices topping the omelet. The hash browns were meh. My eggs Benedict were good. While the hollandaise sauce tasted good, it didn't look as creamy as the better sauces I've had. The hash browns were not hot and didn't seem freshly prepared...it was our least favorite part of our breakfast. All in all, a good dining experience, although we'll avoid the disappointing hash browns the next time we visit. Breakfast for 2, with tip, came out to just over $37.

My personal favorite was the zucchini fries--we actually got the last order, so that felt like a win! Other standouts were the waffle, the chicken and waffle, and the sliders. I wasn't a big fan of the wings, and the ambiance leans more bar-style than cozy, but the service was quick, they easily accommodated our party of seven, and our server was super nice. Overall, a great spot for a casual group outing.

The kitchen is in full view, and immaculate. The staff were all super friendly and awesome. The many craft beers and unique flavors were amazing. They usually have a pineapple cider, that is really good. The peanut butter and jelly beer just has to be tasted to be appreciated it is so good. Today I had the watermelon beer, which was beyond refreshing, and crisp. The board at the bar is updated daily and you can sample any of the beers upon request. This is a must go for anyone living or visiting the Ocala downtown.

We loved the cozy vibe of the place and our server was absolutely wonderful. Unfortunately, the ramen left a lot to be desired. I ordered the miso ramen and the broth was honestly like drinking water, completely bland and with almost no flavor. I tried the ramen my friends ordered as well, and unfortunately, none of them had much flavor either. The shoyu had the most flavor out of the ones we tried, but even that one was still missing something. Our server was amazing, though. She offered to change my bowl, but since I had already tried the other ramen options, I decided to keep it. She brought me soy sauce and spicy oil, which definitely helped. I also tried the pork gyozas and unfortunately they weren't the best I've had. I probably wouldn't come back for the food, but I'd definitely stop by for a beer if I'm in the area. They had some really interesting options and they were nice and cold!

The food was excellent my partner had a breakfast, and I had the chicken with cheese and mushrooms, and it was absolutely delicious. There was a wait which simply proved that it was cooked in the kitchen and didn't come out of a bag shipped from Afghanistan. Defrost didn't thrown on the plate. The atmosphere in the restaurant is just absolutely amazing. It takes you back to the days when cafés were cafés. The relics on the wall are not the ones you find made in Japan and shipped in for decor. The real handmade type relics or hand-painted. The place is very patriotic and just a pleasure to be there. Everyone in the place seem so friendly that even though it was our first visit, we felt like it was home. I would recommend this establishment to absolutely anybody traveling through the area. I know it won't be my last trip. In fact, I'd say it will be my first of many.

Continuing with our effort to try out different breakfast joints after church service on Sunday…read moremornings, I suggested Northgate Diner to my wife after expanding our search north of our church. Northgate wasn't on her list of restaurants to try out but we were intrigued by the positive reviews. From the outside, Northgate was showing its age. The menu indicated they opened in 2002 and it probably needs some updating...including the prices on the menu. The parking lot was quite full...a great sign! Our first impressions were that service was friendly and there seemed to be quite a lot of regulars who dine here as we heard a lot of conversations indicating familiarity. We were told to sit anywhere and we chose a booth. My wife and I ordered coffee and water to start out...their coffee mugs are quite big and they are attentive with refills. I ordered the Western Omelet with home fries and wheat toast and my wife ordered the Farmer's Omelet with tater tots and wheat toast. Breakfast was good with generous portions...both of us took home leftovers which was still good the next morning. All in all, a very good breakfast place (they also serve lunch) that we would likely return to. We thought the value was there. Lunch for 2 less tip was just over $30. They have a surcharge for credit card payments.
