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!

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

Everything I've had at Elevation has been great and the prices fair, well as fair for what you get. Food tastes fresh. I'd rather go to a locally owned restaurant like Elevation that cooks your food there, than a chain restaurant where food is prepared in a factory and then reheated. Recently saw they were now serving Breaded Pork Loin sandwiches and had those when visiting friends in Indiana and loved it, so had to try it. Elevation did it great! Though I neglected to ask for more yellow mustard and pickles. I've had two of their mixed drinks and they're too good. One is all I can handle, but they taste so good, you want more.

We recently visited Elevation 89 at the Ocala airport and overall had a pleasant dining experience…read more The restaurant has a clean dining room with calming colors and décor that create a relaxed atmosphere. One of the highlights is the excellent view of the runway, where you can watch small airplanes take off and land while enjoying your meal. The service was friendly and attentive, and the food was good overall. We both ordered rice bowls with stir-fried vegetables and our choice of protein--one with chicken and the other with shrimp. The flavors were enjoyable; however, both bowls seemed noticeably watery. We're not sure if the extra liquid came from the vegetables or the rice preparation, but it was enough to be noticeable and took away from the overall enjoyment of the dish. Menu prices appear to range from around $10 into the $40s, offering options for a variety of budgets. One disappointment was that Elevation 89 is listed online, including on web searches and Yelp, as offering a Sunday Brunch. We specifically chose this location because we meet once a month to try a new brunch spot. Unfortunately, upon arrival we learned there is no Sunday Brunch currently being offered. We were disappointed by the inaccurate information and hope the online listings are updated so future guests can plan accordingly. Despite that issue, we enjoyed the clean environment, good service, and especially the unique runway views and watching the small aircraft come and go.

Ocala isn't the type of place that a fancy, $16 burger is easy to come by. It's even harder to…read morefind such a burger, and feel good about it, because I'm not a fancy-burger kind of guy. The Yelloow Pony Pub and Garden was a pleasant surprise to me, as was the World Equestrian Center as a whole. Located inside the WEC Hotel, the Yellow Pony Pub is a British-style pub with excellent but short selection of sandwiches and pub fare, liqour, and respectable selection of beers. The atmosphere is pleasant, upscale, and fun in an understated way. I visited on a lunch date, but think it would be a wonderful stop on a Friday after work with collegues, or on the evenings, when it appears that they have live music outside on the patio.

The best…read morething about Swampy's..you can order a drink and go and sit on the wall and put your feet in the beautiful clear water. Oh wow, what a place we live, it's so amazing! If it's during the day, tube floaters, paddle boarders, and small boats pass by making for some fun entertainment. However, the food and service are really lacking but has been for years. And it really doesn't matter...due to the atmosphere, people will continue to come here no matter what! It's literally that great! If you are at the bar ordering a drink due to the fact you will wait for a table, no matter the time of day...Do not get stung by the huge amount of bees that surround the soda station and the right side of the bar. I understand that the bartenders and servers are busy but service and attitudes are to the extreme! I think that businesses forget to tell their employees...people are PAYING to eat here. Most on vacation and don't want an attitude. But again, due to the atmosphere...most people will overlook the attitudes. Anyway, the food is severely lacking. We are locals and have eaten here many a time. Just remember the prices on the menu are not because the food and service are amazing...it's because of the atmosphere. P.s. please stop serving glass to people who are drinking and heading to the water.

On top of that the waitress, an older lady, said would you like that with garlic nan bread or regular. I said garlic, thinking the nan bread came with it like in traditional Indian food restaurants. Well when the bill came, it was a 3.99 up charge. In total it was 32$ for a subpar Indian dish. If I would have paid 14.99 it's more acceptable. Also, the pieces of chicken were small, almost like diced instead of bigger chunks. See pictures. The curry sauce is what made it. But other than that I'll go for a burger if I ever comeback
