This is where I enjoy going. I was the self appointed Orchid Lady. Want a nice new drink ask for Tia's Green. Tia's muddled cherry is my next try and I am not big on sweet! Gary is sure to be Jazzing something! Phillip Glassman offered to host the Art Auction should that be the direction The Art Couple I may be representing go. Very Excited Brunch is delicious!

Casual sophistication meets fine dining! Excellent upscale meals and drinks served in a relaxed atmosphere in restored historic building. The staff is incredible! There are themed nights such as "Wine Down Wednesday". Live music is provided several nights a week. If you go on a Saturday night, make sure you have your dancing shoes on. Also, if Louis is on duty, ask him to make a Dirty Martini for you!

Loved this place. The food was excellent. Perfectly cooked and the presentation was outstanding. I had the Chilean Sea Bass and it was perfect. Great appetizers and drinks also. I’ll definitely be back to try some new dishes.

The food is incredibly good. Really unique for this area; almost something you'd expect to see in Silicon Valley or Seattle. Very unique dishes. The chef, Lance, came to our table and had a chat with us about the entrees, making sure we were satisfied. We were also very pleased to hear that the chef had world class training and had won many awards and recognitions. Our server, Desiree, was absolutely fantastic. Great with drink recommendations and very attentive; an edgy look but a fantastic personality. Tavern is definitely a must see in the Ocala restaurant and night life world.

It's so appetizing. The staff was friendly and sociable. The bill was fair for the quality of the food. Food is similar to a cafe in Indianapolis I liked.

Great Sunday Brunch: live Jazz band w/ an amazing, unique menu (for a vey reasonable price). We should support this distinguished, local business over the Perkins & Bob Evans restaurants. The Chef/Part Owner (Tony) is extremely warm, welcoming & accommodating, and so is the rest of the staff.

We had a great time at Tavern on the Square for lunch today! Chef Tony was wonderful, describing the dishes and specials. We met a great person, Sharon who offered her expertise on the restaurant and it's offerings and basically what this place offered. Both were available through our lunch.The food was beyond wonderful made with loving hands. We are planning two more visits within the month.

I always have good time. I just wish that every time someone spills a drink they can come dry it right away. Is do dangerous specially for women in hills.But I love the place. I'm there every weekend.
