This was our second time dining here and everything was absolutely perfect!! We sat at the indoor bar for Sunday Brunch. Sarah... was our bartender. She greeted us immediately and informed us that they were serving bottomless mimosas (yes, please!). She wentover and beyond to the point that I even said ?I feel like it?s my birthday!? We enjoyed the chips & salsa & queso, chickenflautas, beef birria corn tacos. Well done and we can?t wait to come back! Read more
Love going to this place I will admit. I have still not sat at a table yet, even though I have been a bunch of times Ambiance is... great. Low lightning ao it would make a great date spot. I enjoy sitting at the bar. Bar staff is top notch and the drinks areflavorful and well balanced. The GM Chris is awesome. As a former bar owner I really enjoy the wide varieties of tequila theycarry. When I had my bars there were only like 10 choices. Now there are all sorts of flavors. Chris and his bar staff areextremely knowledgeable and b take the time to educate about the different tequilas Food is spectacular Menu is small. But thefood is on point. Read more
I Came into an almost packed house but they had seating by the stairwell under some lights, I forgot my glasses so I requested... the table for one. The hostess wanted me to sit at the crowd bar and in my face told the manager where I wanted to sit like Iwasn't standing there. He told her to go ahead and seat me where I requested. I went to the bathroom to wash my hands and cameback to my seat. 15 minutes later I was walking up to the hostess telling her I was leaving because no one came to take my orderand she just said okay didn't even try to stop me from walking out the door. I felt ignored like they didn't want my money. Idid take pictures and when I cool off about the situation I might return another time not on a Saturday night. Longest postever... RUDE Read more
After reading mixed reviews on this relatively new restaurant downtown we decided to go for lunch on a weekday. We were excited... to try the guacamole which they make at your table and it was sooo good! She even added extra pickled red onions after I statedhow much I love them. They really kicked the guac to a new level! Our steak salad and carnitas were both very tasty. You cantell that some of the staff are newer but everyone was very attentive and friendly. They got pretty busy so go early if you can.The decor of this remodeled bank building is phenomenal. From the art work by local artists to the attention to detail everywhere you look, it?s just ????????. I will definitely be back and recommend you give this restaurant a try! Read more
Unique dining experience! Restaurant appears to be in a remodeled bank. It has dim lightening for an intimate ambiance. We went... on a Saturday afternoon and they had a brunch menu only. Our waitress was friendly. We had the beef street tacos, a taco saladand waffles and berries. Salsa and chips were served complimentary. I liked the corn waffles with fresh berries and whippedcream!

We went opening week and had a great time! The drinks were on point and the food was delicious! It all came out pretty quickly... and our server was super friendly as well. We checked the menu ahead of time so we were prepared for it to be a little moreexpensive than your typical Mexican restaurant (hello seared scallops) but you are paying for the experience, atmosphere, andhigher end ingredients which we definitely noticed! This restaurant is definitely going to fit in well with the growing andchanging food culture in Ocala. We will definitely be back! Read more
We had a corporate event in the upstairs area and it was exactly what we needed. The food was excellent and having our entire... party away from the downstairs worked out perfectly. There was even a balcony that allowed us to hang out and see the townsquare. The staff made sure we had everything we needed, Deana did an amazing job and was extremely helpful and attentive. Theyeven packed everyone to-go boxes to take with them of the food we had. The food was outstanding and presented perfectly, as seenin the charcuterie image. It was a great experience and we will be hosting more events here. Great Job Cantina team! Read more
