Gregory Skinner So, I was there on a slow night but the atmosphere was shocking to find in the middle of Ocala. Super chill and good drinking. What a good spot to decompress at on a slow night.

Andersen Chris “MasterShake” Once again we "belly up" to the bar area. Andrew our bartender made it a great experience. We love French style food, and this place does not disappoint. Not many people can say this but some of the best frog legs we have ever had!! Cocktails were great, staff was amazing, the vibe is awesome, live music just added to what I would say was a A+ dining experience. Keep up the great work and we cant wait to come back.

Elliot Very good restaurant, I definitely recommend. Nick was our server, very nice and very professional. The food was very good too, we had the jambalaya, the chicken friend grits, and the best dessert, the deep fried Oreos. The portions were huge.

Adrianne Pauline Wanted to give my kudos to my server, Ree (Regan), she was very sweet and personable. Made the experience very lovely and made sure all our needs were met. She was very kind to us and the other people she was taking of. Adam, the visiting manager, also came to visit and say hi. Funnily enough, he’s the GM at the Cheddar’s from where I reside! Crazy to have seen him a ways’ out on a little camping trip. But again, he was very sweet and attentive! Cheddar’s is delicious. Ambience is relaxing and EVERYONE needs to order their Painkiller!!!!

Stephanie McGhee Mojos on Silver Springs Blvd is phenomenal. Our server Wendy was amazing. The food was absolutely delicious. I definitely recommend Mojos for lunch or dinner and the Blvd location is wonderful.

Debajit Das We stopped by on our way from Orlando to New Orleans. The food is rich, flavorful, and always served fresh. We went with Express Thali and it didnt disappoint. The butter chicken was absolutely outstanding, and their Bhature was perfectly soft. The ambience is clean, elegant, and perfect for both family dinners and special occasions.

Tarik Beckford Not from Ocala, but my son is going to school up there. First time ever being in this restaurant and every time I visit, I will definitely go there. The food was great our server Trinity was grade a top-notch. They accommodated me adjusting the menu and it was very happy. I got the shrimp with the honey garlic Gator sauceseems like it’ll be great to go ahead to watch the games or fights. I’ll be back.

Santiago Araujo This place is so good! I have been here twice and I love it! The Hot Mess appetizer will keep me coming back just for it. The burger was also really good. The hot mess is a 100/10

Steven Laird First and foremost I was very impressed with the service of the hostess when we entered to the booth with the service of our waitress. My wife and I were in town we decided to grab a quick dinner before hitting the road. That’s when we were blessed with a waitress named Baylee H. This young lady was very polite professional and hit every single point of customer service. As it was football Saturday little bit busy she never once let the rush get in the way of the service or professionalism. Food was cooked to perfection was fresh hot and very decent portion sizes.

Trentertainment Kevin M. Was the best server I could’ve asked for! As busy as the restaurant was, he was attentive, personable, and consistent! I I’ll be returning to this very restaurant specifically because of him! Food was STELLAR! I got the 8oz steak combo with shrimp. For the price of $29 for those 2 entrees plus 2 sides. Unbeatable! Everything tasted amazing, and came out within reasonable timing. Thank you Longhorn and Kevin M. I’ll be back!

Korra S This place honestly impressed me. I am not a huge Spanish food person so I was hesitant to go, however my aunt wanted to celebrate her birthday here so I gave it a chance. We started with empanadas (delicious), burrata, and salsa. The salsa doesn’t feel homemade/fresh but was still enjoyable. However the dinner was outstanding. I ordered the Mar Y Tierra. I would definitely order this again, next time over noodles instead of rice. It was very tasty. Service was great too.

Ashley Cross Food was exceptional, everything was fresh, hot, and delicious. We put in a reservation and did have to wait about 15 minutes to be seated still, also our server was very short with us. Beyond that the environment was wonderful.
