Check out Oscar Penn in Inverness. Closed Sun and Monday, need reservations. Won’t be sorry. Quiet setting in old house. Conversation possible without the noise in The Village. Don’t tell everyone, keep it a secret gem.

Thanks.

Marks Steakhouse in Icala.

Marks Steakhouse in Ocala. Outstanding.

[Sensei]

Exquisite. Reservations accepted for parties of four or less. Two booths are six-tops, but are available in a first-come, first-served basis.

Beautiful surroundings at the Equestrian Center in Ocala. The stirrups restaurant would be quieter and more reserved. Places to sit in the lobby and enjoy the beautiful surroundings in this hotel. Stirrups is in the hotel of course. Look at the menu online to see if there is a special dish she might enjoy. The villages has the restaurants already mentioned that are ok....Costal Del Mar, Chop House, Nancy Lopez. Hope she has a special birthday!

Michelin star restaurant around here??? I'm not sure who set your expectations about TV but they are way way way off. You won't find anything like that unless you go to the majors aka Orlando, Tampa, etc. Anything around these parts is at best rookie attempts to make it look like it.

Very few restaurants here in TV are worthy of your search. Chop House is the only one I would recommend within TV.

One of the best we've visited was Paulies at the Oaks on 44. That's at the Continental Country Club (outside T/V) right off of Road 44. Food and atmosphere were amazing, service great & the price reflected that. Around $80 for my wife & I and it included two deserts. We go back around once a month but, only because of our budget.

I would suggest leaving Rose Plantation off the list, read the reviews.

[HJBeck]

“Burns” steak house. Almost to Tampa. One of the best in the USA. Bring your wallet!

[Cassieb]

Rose Plantation is overrated.

I like the three restaurants recommended in the first response.

[hotrodgirl]

I would highly recommend Prime Three in Leesburg. Lovely atmosphere, quieter than here, soft music. Nice menu, great food.

There's not a single quality restaurant in TV, country clubs included (or, especially).

There are no Michellin Star restaurants in Ocala. A few in Orlando.

Yelp or Trip Advisor usually have the best recommendations: https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaura...a_Florida.html

Burns Steakhouse (old school with dessert floor) or Malios Prime Steakhouse (modern atmosphere)…both in Tampa. Chops is nice but doesn’t hold a candle to either.

The Inn At Little Washington in Virginia Horse Country. Has its own helipad so presidents can visit. Only Michelin 3-star in the DC area. If you don't have your own chopper, maybe you can rent one. ps: if you don't have your own chopper, the IALW may not be for you. :-)
