Restaurants near Orange Springs Methodist Episcopal Church and Cemetery

This is a beautiful historic restaurant. The food is outstanding as is the service. As a result it is very popular and reservations are recommended even for lunch.

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.

As always Marks was wonderful. We love coming here! Our server (I can’t remember his name) was spectacular. Never wanted for anything and he made sure we had drinks without asking and checked in frequently. We had the pickled beet risotto and it was spectacular! Glad we went with the recommendation. As long as Marks is around it will forever be our go-to for wonderful food and service!

We had a delightful experience at The Braised Onion. The most wonderful things were the genial and knowledgeable service from Joanne and the second was the quality of the food. We had both the Poached Pear Salad (the pear the perfect sweetness to compliment the vinaigrette) and the half-Caesar wedge which was also crisp and well presented. The classic liver and onions with bacon was very American and well cooked. They generously allowed a substitution for the mashed potatoes with asparagus. This Louisiana native really enjoyed their version of shrimp and grits. Shrimp were perfectly cooked; the sauce had the perfect seasoning with generous portions of andouille sausage. our pre dinner cocktails were well executed; the rolls (with their garlic and parsley topping and the whipped butter) were spot-on. A wonderful evening in Ocala.

We went for our Anniversary. The whole experience was excellent. All of the staff was very accommodating and very pleasant. Great time.
