Braised Onion - Ocala

This place is the figurative and literal interpretation of a diamond in the rough. It's 50 miles north of where I live, which is a terrible long way to drive for a disappointment. Let us talk about the environment; it is very intimate by the presence of at least three other pairs on the date night. It took us a while to get space, but after we sat service was impeccable. The French Braised Onion soup has quickly formed for it. It was the best I ever had. They have done an excellent job to marry flavors together. My wife had the Braised Short Rib Stroganoff. I gambled on the Aubergines Parmigiana; I rarely order it because most restaurants rarely get right. If I had to describe with a word, I would use perfection. Finally we shared their bread pudding for dessert, my wife rarely ordered bread pudding for the same reason I rarely order Eggplant Parmigiana . Most restaurants rarely get it right. It was the highlight of the day dinner. I loved eating at Braised Onion. I'm looking forward to Date Night with Lobster Mac 'n Cheese.

My husband ⟟ were just passing through and were looking for an interesting place to grab lunch. We googled restaurants near us and clicked on Braised Union. Thought it looked like an interesting place. We had an excellent experience. The wait staff were so friendly and helpful. Even shared the history of the restaurant. AND THE FOOD....everything was beautifully presented and so fresh. We are already making plans to come back and bring friends. Our favorite items so far: appetizers Maryland Crab Cakes (the mango salsa- amazing ⟟ am not big fan of mango). And the desserts....the Chocolate Mousse the Bread Pudding are to die for. Excellent experience!!!

The food was totally awesome. Service was perfect. Great restaurant for Sunday brunch.

This restaurant is definite proof they do get what you pay for. It's so full of yummy goodness,and the staff was completely and totally professional. I highly recommend this place. It's a little off the main path and it costs a little bit more than your average restaurants but I can tell you it is worth every single bit. Can't wait to go again.

Had to try the onion soup at a place with onion in the name and it didn’t disappoint! Short rib stroganoff was perfectly creamy and the pow pow shrimp had the right level of spice. Extensive hole made dessert menu made it hard to pick but we ultimately choose the 3 layer signature cheesecake. Service was friendly and prompt too. 5 stars all around!
