I Brought my mom for a delicious lunch on her birthday today. I specifically picked the Ivy for the fried green tomatoes on the menu (her favorite) which did not disappoint, the southwest sauce is a great touch. We both enjoyed our lunch, the French dip was flavorful and full of meat and the burger was just as good nice and juicy. I took dessert to go home with me 2 hours back to cocoa beach, I'm was excited to see the whip cream is the real deal seeing as it made the trip back and didn't melt!😁 I'll definitely be sure to try this gem for dinner the next time I'm in town.

Everything about this was 5 stars. Service, ambiance, food, and the drinks. This of my current favorite place in ocala hands-down. The drinks were unique and oh-so-good and the food lived up to that standard. The bacon wrapped dates were to die for, and they had the best fried green tomatoes I’ve ever had. We loved the gourmet Turkey croissant as well.

Worth another shot. First off I will say this. The place is beautiful
Decorated lovely. Great bar. Server was friendly. Food looked and tasted good but.... took an hour to get lunch and nothing came out hot. Server told us they weren't serving burgers or steak, I think she said there was issue with broiler or something in kitchen. Ordered onion rings which tasted great but were warm at best. 50 minutes later got baked chicken with mac and cheese. Both looked great and tasted good but both were slightly above room temp. Going to try again as I heard great things about this place and chalking this down to an equipment issue...

Food was delicious and fresh! Our server was very attentive and had a great sense of humor. The restaurant was clean even with them being busy. 10/10 will be back for sure 😊

Took the wife out to try this lovely little restaurant. The atmosphere and decor were great! Staff was super friendly and our server was very knowledgeable of the menu. I ordered the 12oz ribeye (market price today was $34) and my wife ordered the fried Cod. I was really impressed with the sides, the green beans were made with love and bacon, the cornbread was so delicious and I didn't know I liked carrots until I had theirs. I will say I wasn't too impressed with the steak, I thought it could've used a bit more salt and pepper but still a decent quality cut of steak. Wife was impressed as well, she raved about the cod with their tartar sauce which I confirmed tasted great! She also had the Mac n cheese which tasted like it was homemade at my mother's house (creamy and delicious). Overall great experience, I will be back to try more items!
