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.

The special menu item to celebrate the release of the Beaujolais Nouveau was a wonderful rendition of a classic French dish. The other regular menu items served at our table were also delicious The service was impeccable Miranda Madison's repertoire for the evening was perfect for the occasion - and beautifully sung. Overall a Very Fine outing indeed

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

Absolutely wonderful food and exceptional service. We'll be back again soon.

Overall, we had an excellent experience. Our waitress was exceptional, and the food was quite good. The drinks were probably more reasonable, and the food itself was a little bit on the pricier side. The reason I didn’t give five stars is because you had to buy the bread. This would have been fine, but they were five of the thinnest slices and short of an herb bread that you could ever imagine! All five slices combined were like having one piece of bread. I think this is something that the restaurant needs to reconsider.
