    Great experience, excellent food, nice environment, and great service. I had the swordfish, which was delicious. The Parmesan soup was excellent,--creamy and perfect for chilly weather. Onion soup was also on point. Cocktail was perfect and a good selection of wines. Planning my next trip!

    We love this restaurant. We shared the Brussels sprout/proscuitto salad which is delicious. I had the halibut and my husband the duck. Both exquisite. Crème brûlée for dessert was creamy and yummy. And the one man band played guitar, ukeale, harp. He was amazing

    I’ve been to La Cuisine many times and the Food has always been excellent. I had the pork tenderloin tonight with truffle mashed potatoes and my friend had the filet both were phenomenal. I definitely recommend trying out this place for dinner if you have not been.

    First time here. This is a great restaurant if you find yourself in Ocala. Food is great - had the lamb chops which were excellent. Service is good and ambiance is also excellent. Highly recommend a visit.

    More sophisticated menu than the average restaurant in Ocala. But being French myself I was not impressed. I honestly expected better food. Maybe the French chef was not in the kitchen that night.

    Amazing ambiance, wonderful service and hands down the best meal we have had in the 4 years we’ve lived here. We both got the New York Strip. We arrived to find a nice hand written card on our table wishing us a happy anniversary. Perfect evening - we have found “our place”.

    Excellent dining experience. Food and service were top notch. Prices aren't cheap but much more reasonable than other high end restaurants in the Ocala area. Will definitely return.
