We love Ivy on the Square, located on the square in downtown Ocala, just minutes from WEC. Their amazing shabby chic décor with a modern warehouse vibe complete with brick walls and exposed pipes sets the stage for their delicious appetizers and entrees. Ever tried fried green tomatoes? It’s a southern delicacy. Here’s your chance!

But there’s lots of other delicious eateries on the square. Check them out! And if you are looking to adventure out, Butler Plaza is located in Gainesville, Florida which is about a 30 minute drive. Butler Plaza offers over 2 million square feet of the best dining, shopping, and entertaining experience. Visit www.shopatbutler.com to learn more.
