Primary Tavern Restaurant & Bakery - Ocala (FL)

5 /5 Lisa Waite: What a delightful restaurant! We were so pleasantly surprised! We asked for a restaurant recommendation from our hotel and they suggested the Primary Tavern. It was close by so that was a plus, but even if we had to drive farther, this place would still be high on my list! The service was flawless! The food was all freshly made with high quality ingredients, perfectly seasoned and served piping hot! The breads were mouthwatering! The atmosphere was elegant and with black and white tablecloths, lighted centerpieces, lovely decor, cheerful music and very comfortable seating. I highly recommend this restaurant for dinner, but Im sure breakfast and lunch here would be every bit as delightful!

5 /5 dylan mcdaniel: My family and I stumbled across this delicious restaurant while sitting in traffic after a long 14 hour drive. We walked in and were immediately greeted with friendly smiles and the most amazing smells! We met the owner and chef who was so kind- but the food is what sold us! We ordered the bread that had spreads the dough was so soft and the perfect texture, our entrees were the star of the show. We ordered the two fisted BLT- the bacon was perfectly cooked and the flavor compliments each component of the sandwich. Next we got the primary chicken salad, hands down best chicken salad we have ever had, the bread was so fresh and the pine nuts were that crunch you didn’t know you needed! We also tried the SPO and each bite was full of flavor and freshness! If you are in the area please go check out this freshly cooked and baked restaurant! Bonus they have an amazing bakery as well!

5 /5 Dave Cornthwaite: What a gem! After 6 weeks on the road this is the best food we’ve found in the States. It’s a farm to plate restaurant, created with passion and sustainability. The menu is hand written and filled with character. We opted for the quiche and Havana pot roast, topped off with delicious hame made cake. The staff were awesome and there was something gloriously contradictory about the decor (think dark leather, walls covered in wine bottles, then football on a big TV) which just added to the Tavern’s uniqueness. If you’re passing by, don’t miss this.

5 /5 Roberts: Was pleasantly surprised by this tavern that is much much more. Love the atmosphere! The wall of mirrors is Harry Potter esque. Love it. The food and desserts were incredible!

5 /5 JohnCat Terry: What a great experience! Please don’t judge this building by what it used to be. The Chef has put her heart and soul into this completely renovated building and menu. We had the ‘Ruben Gets Baked’ which is a DELICIOUS opposite flip of the classic sandwich, and the ‘Meatloaf Wedge’, also very good. Portions were perfect. Delicious little zucchini salad was served before dinner and was so much better than the normal boring house salad served everywhere else. She is so very thoughtful with her dishes and the atmosphere. Service was perfect as well. We will definitely stop in every chance we get.
