Elevation 89 features American Cuisine in a unique atmosphere overlooking the runway and featuring nightly views of spectacular sunsets. The name of the 150-seat restaurant, established in 2021, references the pilot call signal for the Ocala airfield—which is itself based on the airport’s elevation at 89 feet above sea level.

    It was fine for what it is….a national chain restaurant that doesn’t promise fresh out of the ocean seafood or much variety but it was open on Christmas and met our family’s needs. There were no issues or problems.

    We were here for Christmas Eve dinner and the staff went all out to take wonderful care of us. Really a terrific meal and for a group this size it could not have been better- multiple servers brought our food to the table so that everyone was served at one time; the staff made wonderful suggestions and knew everything about each dish, as well as being friendly and very welcoming. Everything we had was delicious, and several of our party agreed that the staff were the best they had ever encountered. Great job!!!
