Stirrups Restaurant

Stirrups Restaurant | The Equestrian Hotel | Ocala Florida by Ethan Tweedie

Stirrups Restaurant is a site to behold, massive 2 story ceilings, custom millwork and a 1,500 bottle wine cellar! For the main dining room image, we must have spent an hour lining up each chair so the image would be just perfect! If you ever go to The Equestrian Hotel you must dine at Stirrups! Here is the description from the designer, Roberts Design Group

“On the first floor of The Equestrian Hotel, Stirrups Restaurant is a timeless representation of luxury dining. As an elegant southern steakhouse and fine dining experience, we wanted the space to be refined with Parisian inspirations. The custom millwork and fine details, like the chrome door handles that mimic stamped leather, complete the look.

As one of the unique outlets found in The Equestrian, its design is honored as a part of the hotel's nomination for the 2021 Gold Key Awards in the category of "Best Hotel Luxury."
