    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.

    I made reservations and was asked, "Is this a special event?" I said it was our anniversary. I guess I was hoping for a free dessert or something. I was wrong. The steak was a little on the tough side and the short rib was a little dry. The service was very good. Probably will not go back.

    Braised Onion never fails to impress and to exceed my expectations. Food is fresh, well prepared and enjoyable. The only thing I have noticed is that their prices are getting a bit too steep. This will not deter me from going there but it will have to be less frequent. We like to support local and Braised Onion is that.

    Wonderful dinner with family while attending a horse show at WEC. Well worth the drive to enjoy a varied menu with classic delicious entrees. The fried green tomatoes, onion soup and lobster Mac and cheese made great starters along with their homemade bread. Our server was exceptional and very attentive professional. The mains we enjoyed included liver and onions, a sea bass over pear salad and salmon with the most incredible potatoes Great drinks and desserts too!
