   Lobster rolls were overpriced for only getting four bite size pieces. Same price as our burgers were kind of crazy especially since it was mostly cream cheese. Everything else tasted good, Samantha did a great job stepping in when they were obviously short staffed for early lunch rush

   If there’s one dining experience in Florida that soars above the rest, it’s Elevation 89 at the Ocala Airport. This isn’t just a meal—it’s an adventure, a culinary journey that pairs exceptional food with the thrill of aviation. From the moment you enter the sleek, modern space, with its floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the runway, you’re transported to a dining destination unlike any other. The menu is a masterclass in American cuisine, offering everything from perfectly executed beef stroganoff to indulgent seafood risotto. Each dish is crafted with precision and passion, ensuring every bite is memorable. Seasonal specialties on the "Flight Plan Menu" keep things fresh and exciting, while desserts like their bread pudding are simply irresistible. Pair your meal with a selection from their full bar, and you’ve got an experience worth savoring. What truly elevates Elevation 89 is its atmosphere. Watching planes take off as you dine adds an element of wonder, making it perfect for both casual lunches and special occasions. With impeccable service, reasonable prices, and a setting that feels both elegant and inviting, Elevation 89 isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a must-visit destination that proves airport dining can be extraordinary.

   Valentine's Day menu was okay, just a slight variation from the regular menu, which was also available. Lobster Bisque was disappointing, no Lobster in the Bisque, had to pull claw meat out of shell with no pick available and then cut up claw to place in the Bisque base. Too messy. Not worth the effort. Service is always great.

   Food is absolutely the best attraction, but being at our local airport. The atmosphere is awesome as well. Staff is excellent. Need to get out there more often.

   Food and service was great. The ambience could be enhanced with lower evening lighting that allows for the runway lighting to be more prominent. Seems like a missed opportunity.

   Best food in Ocala! Hardest thing to do is decide which entree to order.
