We celebrate our 15th anniversary. Thanks a lot, Violet, for working so hard to make our anniversary as unforgettable as possible! Besides being so patient, caring, and extremely professional with me. Everyone loves the food, and we appreciate Gabi's excellent service and hard work. We truly appreciate your business. We highly recommend your restaurant. Also, we are looking forward to doing more events in the future.

Very cool atmosphere. Had lunch with the family there. They had live music from a musician 🎶 who was amazing and very talented. He added to the cool vibe of the place.
On to the food. It was good food for lunch, and if you like out of the box food, then it's a win for you. I'm too picky and do not care for jams or PB on my hamburgers. They are gracious and will make a burger without the frills. My wife loves the frills, so it was a win for her. They have a good kids menu with the basics, but good variety. Everything was reasonably priced.
The atmosphere for me was the best. Woods and metals, lots of cool accent decor throughout the restaurant. It looked like they might have a nightlife there, too. Lights around the cieling in one of the areas just called out for a good time of dancing and music. It's definitely a nice place to check out and enjoy a meal and beverage. The staff was friendly, courteous, and nice. I wish it was closer to where we live but worth the stop if in the area. Enjoy!

The first time I went here I had the Napa burger and it was amazing!

I recently went back for one and to grab my husband a cheeseburger too. I was saddened to find out the Napa burger is no longer on the menu.

Instead I tried the French onion burger which came with the caramelized onions bathed in broth and sherry along with Swiss cheese and mushrooms. It was delightful.

I highly recommend their food. You’re supporting a small business and eating quality food.

What a happy find. We were traveling back home to Gainesville from Northbound I-75 early Sunday evening and decided to make a pit stop in Ocala for gas and food. We both were craving something a bit healthier than fast food and decided to check out the Crazy Cucumber No. 352 Eatery & Bar.

OMG! Quick to sit, quick for service (most likely because it wasn't busy.) Our waiter Ben was attentive and courteous and checked on us at appropriate times.

We shared the Angel Hair Fried Onion (which unfortunately at this time is only on their seasonal menu) and my hubby had the "Ivy Salad" with grilled salmon, while I enjoyed the "Spinach Salad" with added grilled salmon.

I have not been this impressed by a last minute dining decision in a very long time. The fried onion was so light and crispy with a little side of arugula and Cucumber slices and it was a perfect amount to be shared by two. Caution: the onion is prepared as long stringy shreds so eats better like you're eating and twirling spaghetti on a fork. 😋

Both of our salads were very fresh, but the grilled salmon was the star of the show! A slight crisp on the outside and perfectly cooked on the inside. We both agreed we would like to try this again when we come back through Ocala. Two thumbs up 👍🏻👍🏻, five stars, ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️ and a yum yum yum! 😋😋😋

YUM!! Okay, new chef, changed their menu, it's so good. I had blackened snapper tacos. Loved the flavor. Snapper held up well. Hubby had the Cappelini Pomodorro ( sorry over the mangled spelling) he all but licked the bowl. His Smoked Maple Old fashioned was a little sweet, he fixed it with an additional shot 😏 They have a singer/ music ever Sunday. The o e this Sunday was awesome! New favorite lunch place.

The bartender Sam make fantastic drinks and will never let your beer run dry, the food will blow your taste buds out of the back of your throat. The manager Violet is extremely rude to the guest and her employees. I requested a channel to be changed to a popular sporting event and the manager walked away with an insulting look on her face.

Server very slow to get drink order and return with them. Changed the menu and not for the good. Ordered burgers and fries. Simple right? 20 minutes later the server comes and tells us our burgers are ready just waiting for the fries. Little later we are told they gave one of our burgers to someone else. A little later we are told we were just waiting for fries. At that point we left. Will never go back. It WAS one of our fav casual dining options.

Such a cool atmosphere, and creative menu!! Something for everybody, and unique creations in both food and beverage options. Staff was great, and food prepared expertly. A really great find! Had to be somewhere else in the complex, but was intrigued by the menu. SO glad we stopped in! Pricing was very reasonable - but we spent more than average just trying out so many of the options.
