We went to La Cuisine on Saturday evening. No french welcome, no french music and very few people inside. The decor is just ok. Nice/inmaculate white tablecloths, wood floors and (not my taste) deep red walls... Most of the menu had to be traslated by the waiter (jaja not french but by a spanish speaker). We didnt like much what... More

We had been to graduation at UF and were looking for an upscale restaurant in Ocala. Based on tripadvisor reviews I made reservations for our family. On entering the restaurant, it felt like we were back in France. There was a French greeting from the French owner, French music in the air, curtains between the rooms and more. Everything was...

This was my first visit to La Cuisine. The decor was very nice, and the white tablecloths were changed after each table left. We had lunch there and the prices were reasonable, and the food was good. I had beef bourguignon which came with yam fries. I was curious about the shrimp quiche, so I asked to sample it for... More

The food was good and service was excellent. The problem came when we were there as a large group for a birthday party and at the end of dinner Owner/Manager came to Birthday girl and told her she could not split checks. Everyone uses Debit/Credit Cards these days to pay. The owner/MAnager also took the check back and then split... More

La Cuisine has a wonderful, upscale atmosphere and delicious food. For me it is a special occasion location, because of the cost of the meal.

This was the highlight of our day while traveling to our destination. The owner and his wife stayed open late to accommodate our party...on Easter Sunday. The food was satisfying, not to mention delicious! A 5 star!

Amazing!!! I can't say enough great stuff about La Cuisine. We started with the bacon wrapped scallops and they were to die for. The scallops were cooked perfectly and presented impeccably. I could write a novel about how good the baguettes were. Soft, warm, fresh, sweet, crunchy! We made them come back three times with more carbohydrate heaven. The main... More

Run by french, serving wonderful rustic yet sophisticated food, our table of four loved the dining experience and will be back for sure the next time we are in the... More
