“ Great food and amazing service. I have Celiac's Disease so I'm leary of going to restaurants and usually choose to eat at home or bring my own food when I'm traveling. My father suggested this place for a special lunch during my visit to Ocala. I'm so glad we went. I'll definitely be back! The place was beautiful, understated, and well kept. Watching the planes come in and out was just the cherry on top. ”
“ Fantastic food and amazing service! They were very accommodating and friendly. Fun, lowkey, and modern ambiance. ”
“ Elevation 89 was wonderful, my sister took me there, the service was great as was the ambiance of this place. I loved it, it is right within Ocala airport and you can watch the planes. The food was awesome. I had a wonderful sirloin burger and Mac and cheese, let's say the best Mac and cheese I've ever had. I'm taking my husband there for our anniversary date. Really wonderful restaurant!!!! ”
“ This a great place and our favorite for lunch & dinner.The staff is well trained and the food is always good. The plate presentation is off the charts it is so good. My only negative is when they are busy and the restaurant is full it can get noisy which is a problem in most other restaurants. The staff and the food more than make up for the noise level. Tim Petty ”
“ The menu is very diverse and something to appeal to any palate. The atmosphere is simple, but the background of the airport is almost hypnotic and interesting. Th staff is prompt and accommodating. I had the elk and it was excellent, sort of unique in this area. I would recommend and we will repeat. ”
“ It's a Tuesday night and we just wanted some good food for our anniversary, it being a weeknight there wasn't anything fancy, just good food and good uninterrupted conversation between my husband and I. Guess what we got here?! FANTASTIC FOOD and great conversation! I liked our server. Only problem we had was he never refilled my water and he brought the check before we could ask for dessert. I guess we didn't look like we have money so he didn't pay as much attention to us. However he was all over the table next to us where the lady and husband acted as though they were rolling in it. Hopefully he's more careful in the future as to how he judges people...he even said so himself that he waits on a regular that he later found out was loaded...I didn't judge you for waiting tables for a living.... ”
“ 1. Parking, surroundings and entrance. Park anywhere at the airport for free, and you are really close to the restaurant. 2. Seating and ambiance: modern simple seating with views to the landing strip. 3. Service: We were treated like family by Aaron, he was a fast and provided excelent customer service., a big plus. 4. Food: I had lamb portrhouse, which has grilled lamb steaks topped with a roasted garlic demi-glaze served with mushroom risotto and grilled asparagus. Grilled asparagus were cooked aldente to perfection, the mushroom risotto was rich in flavor serving as the compliment for the grilled lamb steaks which were thick, and juicy, the only cons is that the three pieces contained large amounts of bones, muscles and tendon (sinew) but othewise the meat I was able to eat tasted good, well seasoned and well cooked. From 1 to 10, I have to give it a 7.5. ”
“ Seeing the mixed reviews I was hesitant to go in. I took my parents here for Father's Day and we came around 1pm. We called ahead to make sure they had seating and they said they would put us down but no guarantees. We were sat within 2 min and our server Aaron was great. He was so attentive and kept filling out waters and popping in to see how our meal was. I subbed my fries that came with my burger with the soup of the day which was roasted red pepper and Gouda soup. It came out hot and was delicious. It was so comforting on a cloudy day. Tasted similar to a tomato soup but with more rustic flavor. I would have put some fresh Parmesan on top. Normally red based soups give me reflux but this one thankfully did not. I also woulve done some garlic crostini or half of a garlic bread on the side for dipping. For my main course I ordered the captain which is a burger with blue cheese , jam and grilled onions. It was amazing and normally I don't like blue cheese but it added a great flavor profile to the burger. The onions were grilled perfectly not too soggy or hard , just perfect glaze on them. I did not like the bread since it was too soft and fell apart on one side so it was flaking off as I ate it. Overall it was all great. My bf gave me some fries and they were pretty plain and could use some seasonings. ”
“ It's Date Night! We chose Elevation 89 at the Ocala Airport on a Friday night. The sea scallops and toast points were FAB-U-LOUS! So very good! My wife got the flying goat burger. Her favorite burger anywhere. I selected the Cajun Snapper entree and it was delicious. But what totally made our outing was the spectacular service we received from Ashley. She made a custom martini for my wife that was ON POINT! She didn't hover, but she was very aware of our every need. Highly, highly recommend. ”
