Looks very interesting. Is it in TV or on the outskirts?

We were there last week, and we will return. The entire complex looks like it could be a fun place to drop in for the exhibitions. In the same class as Marks and Berns but the room is a step above of both.

Stirrups at the World Equestrian Center in Ocala. We have been there twice and will return soon. Food, service and ambiance are outstanding. Request Jersey as your server.

Is there an issue there with it being exceptionally noisy?

Not noisy at all. Both times we were there they were very busy and it was not noisy.

When fine "dinning" just ask for the complementary feedbag.

The menu is fantastic. It is a bit high, so tell me it's excellent. I love a great meal, but I also hate having to pay $10 for a potato.

No, you need to ask them to pass out the ear plugs:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

Agree, as you can see in the photo, the tables are spaced nicely. Stirrups is in a 5 star hotel, The Equestrian, Stay - World Equestrian Center

Well, it was a late night last night and my computer helps me out with most of my spelling needs but every once in a while we both miss to only come somewhat close to being correct.

Was it a big one?

The smoked gouda gratin is outstanding and enough for 2 to 3 people. The heirloom tomato salad with house made mozzarella is amazing. The other evening I had the house made gnocchi with the foraged mushrooms. I would definitely order again.
The restaurant is busy and reservations are a must. There is a dress code. No shorts, torn jeans, flip flops and hats for both men and women. It is a dining experience.

When I hear the words fine dining or upscale it usually means a menu I will not like, expensive and a presentation on the plate that is not needed but adds a fee dollars to the price. So I took a look and most everything up to the steaks is not for me and the steak plates are $50 plus sides which is too much for us. The only place I am willing to pay that price is when in Aruba. I will stick with restaurants in or near the Villages like Longhorn or Texas Roadhouse.

I love a good typo. Actually, "dinning" can quite often be the case in TV when you are trying to have a conversation with each other or with another couple, but you are seated near one of those huge groups where everybody keeps getting louder and louder, all at the same time. That's dinning -- TV Style.

Don't feel bad about your typo, twoplanekid. I have typed some real beauties. . .

I was late to meet a friend because I could not find a place to park. When I finally found a parking spot, I sent a text that said, "I will be there in a few minutes. I had to ho around the block first."

Rather pay $20 for a meal than $70 when the $20 meal is just fine and you don’t pay extra for sides. Plus I can wear my shorts and a t-shirt.
