Incredible experience. The hotel is beautiful. Everything is very grand and lush while retaining the strong, rough and masculine feeling of a horse baron's property. It's truly amazing to see...make sure to take a drive around the property in the daylight.
The food was really good. I dine regularly at "high-end" restaurants and I know that price does NOT mean quality. Stirrups is the definition of the phrase-you get what you pay for.
This was a special treat for my daughter and me to share a meal here for my birthday. I eat steak regularly and I wanted something different so I had the venison. It was cooked perfectly and pictured in my review. Delicious!
The service was impeccable. Thank you so much Sarah! Our service team of two made sure our glasses were always full...even the water. Sarah was highly knowledgable about the menu and my gluten allergy, even down to the possibilities of cross-contamination and house sauce ingredients. She truly enhanced our dining experience while keeping us safe.
The prices aren't terrible. The a la carte menu can get pricey if you're on a budget. The entree's are very reasonably priced. Alcohol adds and you can easily spend double the money on appetizers. Forget the budget and enjoy tho..this place is worth it!
Do not visit Ocala, FL and miss this experience. Make reservations well in advance.
