    It would be nice to have more information on menu. After standing outside the restaurant at the proper reservation time, someone should come out to announce they would be opening for business shortly. Being inthe dark doesn’t work.

    Celebrated our anniversary here. They made it e tremely special. It was a slow paced meal, which we very much appreciated. I had the stone fruit salad, which was delicious, followed by the diver scallops. Again delicious. My husband had the heirloom tomato salad, which he very much enjoyed and also the diver scallops. The whole experience was wonderful. It was a Monday night and the restaurant wasn’t more than half full. Very quiet. Sarah, our waitress , was the most enjoyable person. We had a fabulous night.

    We have been there at least 8 times, however this time the service was slow, we asked for a window seat on our reservation and the sat us at an inside table. The service was slow it took us 40 minutes to get bread, the tomatoes in my salad were terrible and the food was over salted. When you pay this much money u expect better service and food and this time they did not hit the mark.

    Absolutely delicious meal from start to finish. Our server’s name was River, and he was attentive, polite, and always aware. Phenomenal steaks, salads, and the Lobster Mac & Cheese may have been the best I’ve ever had. Great place!

    For the price and the description/dress code, etc it wasn’t worth it at all. It’s a lovely setting with a great staff but the food was average at best. And for the price I wouldn’t even say it was average. Also saw that we were to dress nicely but people were there in shorts, sneakers and tshirts. I don’t mind getting dressed and if it’s a stated requirement it should be enforced. But most importantly for the price the food should’ve been much better.

    Stirrups is, without question, the best fine dining experience in Ocala. The menu is very creative and while steaks are king, seafood and pasta dishes are equally outstanding. Service is consistently on point from the hostess to the wait staff and the manager. Our server, Brandon, was exceptional. He paced our meal perfectly and anticipated our party’s every need. We were celebrating an engagement in the family, and the staff went above and beyond with some extras to make the day super special for our party. Highly recommend!

    You need a bar in stirrups. We were early for our res and there was no easy way to grab a drink and wait. The yellow pony was swamped so we had no way to grab a drink while waiting.
