Default Romantic Restaurant

Special birthday day coming up for my lovely wife. Looking for a romantic restaurant in Ocala for just the two of us.

Thinking La Cuisine or Stirrups. Haven't been to either of them. But they seem like places my wife would like.

Comments or other suggestions?

Thanks

Stirrups is fabulous. Not only is the service and the food extraordinary but the building and the grounds are beautiful.

Add to that, Among Mark's Prime, Remington's and Mesa de Notte, it is the quietest in terms of ambient noise

All the above are good.

Three Six Bistro in south Ocala for someplace different, very intimate.

I agree. Three Six Bistro is a hidden gem and very special. Reservations are required. See reviews from residents in the Gourmet Club Website Page 2.
Sean, the owner/chef, will visit your table at the end of your meal.

Milano's Italian Grille
5400 SW College Rd

(352) 304-8549

STRONGLY SUGGEST
that you make a Reservation online
as they have a few “Fully Enclosed”
booths in a Secluded Area in the Back.

Wait Service and Food
were both EXCELLENT !!

Go to the Equestrian Center in Ocala if you want fine dining. And I mean FINE and expensive. Truly an experience you two won't forget. Many shops to browse, horses to gaze at, things to look at. Amazing!

You do realize that's Stirrups, which has already been mentioned many times

Milano's in Ocala is owned by the same group that own half of the Villages C.C., but has a nice ambiance. It's located in a strip mall.
We go about once a year when in West Ocala.
Great Pizza's and Hoagies

I've been to Stirrups. It's over the top good. It will spoil you for other restaurants. BUT bring big bucks.
Worth every cent.

If we were getting hotdogs from a cart and eating them while walking around a crowded park festival, it'd be "the most romantic." The most romantic is wherever my husband and I are dining out.

If romantic equated with expensive, we'd never have a romantic dinner, ever. So glad the two aren't equal.

Buy your gal a wrist corsage and take her to Denny's. Tell her you love her when the dessert comes and feed it to her one spoonful at a time. That'll be the most romantic restaurant, this year.
