TV is not known for upscale restaurants. The closest to upscale is Palmer or Lopez. Outside of TV and upscale Ocala has the most.

Lopez is still the best!

Lopez could probably handle a larger group. Small group? Rose Plantation.

I went to Rose Plantation twice and found the ambiance to be wonderful and the food good but not great.

Rose Plantation is over rated.

Harry's in Ocala is upscale. No white table cloths but excellent service and food.

I too like the Rose Plantation but it is closed for certain hours of each day. Another place which is not completely upscale but gives good service and good food is Mezzaluna in Colony.

I don't feel like reading everything again and this is your first post. If you are down here now go to Rose Plantation for lunch. Bring 3 friends and order 4 different things and share. Take notes. I think the outside porch is best but it was a nice day, not too hot, not too cold.
If you have questions ask for Judy or John, the owners. They are very friendly and easy to talk to.

Dear Robin Lady.

You are welcome.

Ahhhh... The voice of reason.

Mezzaluna is not worth the trip for anything--horrible food

If Lopez Legacy is not "upscale" enough for you, I don't know what to tell you. Ambience is great, food outstanding and service stellar.

A ways to drive, but for the special occasion of the MIL's 90th birthday we took her to Bern's Steakhouse in Tampa. It is one of the top rated steak places in the USA. Definitely upscale and definitely good. Dessert upstairs in the Harry Waugh Dessert Room is a perfect way to end a special occasion.

Right now I'm a big fan of Rose Plantation, as I just got back from dinner there this eve, part of a group of 50+/-, put on by a corporate sponsor. We had the best ever filet mignon steak, cooked perfectly rare, a rarity when ordering steak at a restaurant.
