    Dining at Genevieve's at the Equestrian Center in Ocala is an extraordinary experience. The staff both front and back of the house is totally on point with a smile and witty sense of humor, genuine and authentic to the core. The Michelin starred Chef is a taste filled surprise, the food is creative, full of flavor and beautifully presented. The ambiance and service is exceptional. Our server, Sydney could not have been more perfect, remembering everything, knowledgeable, sharp and quick witted.
