Upon sitting down, we struck up a conversation with a couple who were waiting on two other couples. They apparently have a standing "breakfast date" at Live Fire every Sunday morning. My wife ordered an omelet served with breakfast potatoes and artisan bread and I ordered a classic breakfast with scrambled eggs, potatoes and artisan bread. Breakfast was very good. What stood out to us was how fluffy the eggs were and how savory both the potatoes and artisan bread were. All we could think was how this feels like breakfast elevated to another level...not the usual breakfast fare. We will surely be back and perhaps try their lunch and dinner offerings the next time we're back.

Wonderful restaurant in an otherwise nondescript location. Have eaten at Live Fire several times…read morenow and every time has been solid. It's awesome having another local, non-chain restaurant in Ocala with management that clearly cares. Ribeye was cooked perfectly and love the broccolini and the twice baked potato. The whole dish is simple but really well prepared. Pecan salmon is also really good, with a subtle sweetness and crunch. Highly recommend the butter toffee cake for dessert. The outside of the restaurant shouldn't fool you as the inside is surprisingly nice and really like the inclusion or real local art for sale on the walls. Service every time has been very good, keeping everything nicely topped up and checking on us. Overall, if you're looking for a quality, local restaurant in Ocala would highly recommend.

WARNING-- DO NOT BOOK FOR TENT RENTALS!! I booked with party time rentals for my wedding on…read moreDecember 2nd 2023. I paid 3k for a sailcloth tent 44'x63'. When we booked the tent we were told we would have a morning delivery. On the day of delivery they did not arrive until 1pm, the crew took about 2 hours to measure where the tent would go. Finally they brought the cloth of the tent out to set up, come to find out they are missing half of tent... they called their branch and we're told that the other half would be there in one hour. 1 1/2 hours goes by and the truck finally shows up but he goes to the wrong address, backs up into a fence and almost ran over a 20k horse. The owner of the house called the police but we did not have time to wait since it was almost dark. My dad had to go with our sxs to take the tent off of the truck OURSELVES to get it over to the right property. The driver of the truck reeked of weed and was not being helpful at all. We requested to speak to a supervisor multiple times on the phone but we're always told we'd get a call back, NEVER DID. The only reason the tent was eventually put up is because MY family had to physically bring the tent to the workers.I was not going to leave a review but since we have not heard back in over a month and did not receive any type of reimbursement for our $3,000 tent that was not put up in contracted terms I had to. Long story short, DO NOT BOOK- ESPECIALLY FOR YOUR WEDDING, WAY MORE ADDED STRESS THAT COULD OF BEEN AVOIDED!!!

Many times in planning, we would be discussing something and whether we should give more direction or input, and we'd end up saying "I trust Jackie," or "Jackie's got this."

We recognize and are so grateful for how hard to worked to find solutions for us, we cannot thank Jackie and Party Time enough! They are high end, and you get what you pay for.

BUYER BEWARE. We were having a fine time working with Anand to create our wedding mandap decor…read moreuntil simple verbiage in his liability insurance needed to be changed. This was standard verbiage every other 3rd party vendor we worked with had no problem changing for our venue, but per his own "legal counsel" he could not change the verbiage. This was a contract with a large hotel venue and I'm assuming he's never worked with larger clients and as a result was not prepared to offer the correct liability insurance. He kept saying this is "not standard" when literally every other person we were working with said it was.. He then turned on us and accused me and my husband for not properly preparing him to work with our venue. How are we supposed to know what type of legal documents he is supposed to provide as a vendor? That is quite literally the job of the vendor to figure out, and again this tells me he's never worked with larger clients. In addition, he knew at signing which hotel we would be working with and it is his job as a vendor to ensure he is prepared to handle an event at the venue in the signed contract. He ended up wanting us to sign a form that essentially put all the blame on me and my husband if anything at all went wrong with the mandap structure as well as allow him to cancel at ANY time up until the wedding. Obviously, we could not sign this and found another mandap vendor who could change the verbiage and provide quality services. This back and forth about the insurance verbiage went on for months and Anand was a poor communicator with me, my husband, my wedding planner, and my venue's event coordinator. It was 3 weeks before the wedding when he decided to give us an ultimatum causing me significant stress as a bride to find a new vendor. We dropped him as a vendor due to his lack of service and reliability, not due to the changes in weather as he may claim. I cannot stress enough that this company is not prepared to work on larger venues or provide any type of liability insurances. You might be able to rent a few chairs or decor items from them, but save yourself the stress and hassle, and spend a little money to get a better vendor for your wedding. It should also be noted this is the first review in YEARS he has received which is suspicious. He also claims that we asked for a "custom mandap" when there is nothing truly custom on our mandap. As with every decorator there are different items and ways to set things up, but we did not specifically have him craft anything that he cannot reuse. He has already posted the mandap on his website and will be able to reuse every material that was "custom." Therefore, there was no loss of business, but he attempted to charge us thousands for this work. We adhered to the cancellation policy in the poorly written contract and cancelled our agreement as it is clearly stated and forfeited our deposit.
