This was a very high end and expensive restaurant right in the middle of the horse capital of Florida. They also sold meats at their butcher shop. Too expensive for the area and they are now no longer there.Good day, we are here and sorry you missed us. Our Summer/Fall hours until season are Tuesday-Friday 530-830 PM and Saturday 12-8 PM. Hope to see you next time. Cheers!

Have eaten here several times.... breakfast each time.... but they also serve lunch. Had basic meals.... eggs...bacon... potatoes... toast... all served promptly and all well prepared. Priced a bit above the "average" diner.... but worth it. Kinda hard to access off of Rt 200.... head for Home Depot and come in behind the restaurant into a large parking lot. Plenty of seating inside.... nice, neat, clean interior.... attractive.

My four girlfriends and I went to Arthur's last Sunday, March 3rd, for our "ladies day out" shopping trip in Ocala. Made reservations in advance for brunch at noon. The Sunday brunch buffet was excellent. It included omelettes with choice of ingredients including Salmon, also served prime rib, fish, chicken, pork, cold shrimp, a variety of salads and veggies, and many other offerings. I finished my meal with a delicious Espresso Mousse (I had two, they were that good). In addition to the excellent meal, we were attended to very thoughtfully by our server, Edward, who was not only attentive and professional, but also very personable. My girlfriends and I enjoyed having a male server for our day out. =) To top it off, we were treated to unlimited Mimosas and a very nice female vocalist who made our day that much more enjoyable. All in all, I highly recommend, and we will definitely plan another brunch there soon. Bon Apetit!

Great steaks! The rib eye could have been easily split. The soft shell crab special was a bit over breaded for our tastes but still delicious. The sides are also large and sharable. Some of the best cauliflower sides we ever had. (cheese-ily delightful) Service was outstanding. If you're a couple be sure to ask for booth seating. Can be very romantic!

We went to Ivy's on the square with a large group from our from our development, before Christmas. Although it was a Wednesday but still crowded. the service was somewhat slow and the menu was limited. The food was good only slow to come out and the orders were a little mixed up. I wouldn't make Ivy's a regular stop but I probably would go back just to see if we got there on an off night !

This is the second time we've dined at this venue. Nice atmosphere, nice menu (with just enough choices...I get concerned about freshness when a place offers too many choices)...they had a couple of specials, which one person in our party of 4 ordered and was pleased with it.

We had a gift certificate from a friend plus Harry's coupon for my recent birthday so...an evening at Harry's was a given.I'll get our one complaint out of the way first...parking...yikes! Parking spots are limited and seem farther away when it's raining. And the booths are a wee bit tight. Andrew,our server, was polite, informative, friendly, efficiant...perfect service. Thank you Andrew.My drink of an old fashioned was made correctly (Tom drinks beer), the loaf of bread with that awesome whipped butter was delightful and our meals were...super.

We stopped in for lunch on a Friday and it was about half full. We had the Pulled Pork Quesadilla and the Roasted Pork Fajitas. Both were good, but nothing outstanding. The Fajita platter was barely sizzling. The waiter was pleasant and checked on us regularly without being overbearing.
