Review of 18 South Ocala…read more I just flew in from New York after being away for six months, and as always, 18 South did not disappoint. They've refreshed their menu, and I was pleasantly surprised by the new protein options and specials. We ordered the 18S Dinner for Two -- a perfectly cooked ribeye and filet, accompanied by two prawns, two fresh salads, and two house-made sides. Everything was prepared beautifully, and the portions were just right. Pairing it with selections from their great wine menu made the evening even better. The atmosphere is warm and special, the kind of place where you immediately feel welcome and taken care of. The service was attentive and genuine, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. 18 South is consistently one of my favorite spots in Ocala!

The drinks were $15 each and there was only one bar tenders upstairs. She was super overwhelmed that we had to keep walking back to the bar instead of someone serving us.

We were greeted with a smile and given menus, the waiter was super nice he was patient and knowledgeable about the menu. The bartender made excellent drinks but definitely had a sour face... she didn't seem happy. We enjoyed our drinks, wrote on the wall and had some great conversations with other people there. The floor is sticky and it seemed different than before. But overall it was a good experience and the drinks were good! Unfortunately they ran out of the butterscotch liquor so I had to change my order.

I stayed here because I had my two doodles with me and Hilton accepts dogs. The large pasture was perfect for walking dogs versus a tiny strip of grass out back that most hotels have. It was fun watching their reaction when they saw the horses. The two horses belong to the manager that lives on the property. They are in excellent shape and are friendly. The front desk, lobby and restaurant are impeccable and up to date. The service was excellent. I didn't go in the pool or jacuzzi but it sure looked inviting. They were beautiful, clean and well maintained. The room was lack luster. Maybe I got a room that wasn't updated because I had the dogs? The carpet was old and the ac make grinding sounds at different hours of the night. The refrigerator was barely cold. There was no freezer and no microwave. The furniture was worn out but thankfully the mattresses were heavenly! Hope and her husband were kind to give me more information about the hotel restaurant. I met them when their doodle puppy came out to play in the pasture. All in all, it was a good time and I would stay here again. Just please do something to make the room stop feeling like a cheap Holiday Inn.

I hate to leave a bad review, but this was my second order in a row where something was forgotten…read more this time the shrimp I added to my salad was forgotten. I had checked the bag after I left while waiting at a light. I didn't get to check the rest of the order till I got home. The farmhouse beef was missing the glaze, and the wings were missing the blue cheese (we ordered extra). The food is always good but people don't want to be missing anything from their. Order. Yes mistakes happen, but this is the second order in the past 3 weeks. So this is obviously something that happens often. I shouldn't have to check my bag. That doesn't change the fact that they forget things. I'll give them one more shot.

Once at the restaurant, we experienced an initial wait to be seated (10 minutes) Then after being seated, we had to exchange menu's for some reason, and there was some confusion as to who or whom would be our waiter/ waitress? We finally got our waiter "Chris" he was prompt, mater of fact, and professional. I ordered the spinach salad and a grilled chicken breast on the side, while Dawn ordered the fish and chips. The restaurant is clean with ample lighting over the booths and track lighting through out. I got to see a co-worker (friend) and her family which was pretty cool. The wait for service after our order was placed wasn't too long. The spinach salad was worth the wait and outstanding! The chicken was grilled to perfection and Dawn said her Fish and Chips with smashed peas were delicious. Our waiter, Chris made several trips to our table and made sure we were good to go. Overall, after a little minor and humorous amount of confusion; The meal and service turned out to be excellent. The price is about normal for the area, and just a little pricey for everyday dining.

The music is usually dance-friendly hip hop and RnB, and the DJs get people out on the floor. Coming from the Northeast in December, the open air space is a welcome change. I've only had one meal here, and it was great. But the real magic is the crowd of people dancing. The waitstaff and manager are friendly and accommodating. The bartenders are sometimes slammed, so it might take a few minutes to place a drink order. I love this place and would recommend it to anyone who likes to dance to Usher, Mary J and Cardi B.
