Restaurants near Ocala National Forest

Came in for an early Christmas celebration with friends. Our party of 9 was served exceptionally well, all receiving our food close together. Food was delicious, with some great twists on classic dishes.

Always great food and wonderful service with a genuine smile.

We had an amazing time with friends, as always! We LOVE the food, service, and atmosphere! Our waiter Nick, was great. He and his helper made sure our drinks and bellies were full! Everyone had delicious meals and raved about what they ordered. I order the 50 OZ tomahawk ribeye, with the exquisite brussel sprouts and button mushrooms! It was cooked perfectly! I also ordered the carrot cake for dessert. It was so delicious as well. Ask for Nick the next time you go.

My review is biased because I love FishBones. The service, food and ambiance is great! The entire service staff is fantastic but David is our favorite! He is knowledgeable, always giving us really good food and drink recommendations. He is the best! We were there yesterday and had the lady dragon roll, grilled oysters, and bang bang shrimp for appetizers. We had the grouper with crab meat and baked potato - every thing was delicious. Our parents had the steak and shrimp scampi with baked potato and salads as well. We also had the scampi with the grouper. The food was amazing. The entire table raved about the food but we always do! The ambiance is nice when dining outdoors in the evening. Beautiful night, food and company! This is a great place for any occasion but top notch for a special occasion! Highly recommend! Our food with tip was a little over $100 per person and that included 2 drinks per person for a party of four. I think the value is excellent for the quality and portion sizes. Most dishes are shareable.

We took our daughter, who was visiting us, there for dinner and she was very impressed with the service, ambiance, food and the overall experience. It’s one of our favorite Mount Dora restaurants.
