Ivy on the Square

About Ivy on the Square

Ivy on the Square is a Southern spot at 53 S Magnolia Ave in downtown Ocala. A Square landmark under new ownership as of October 2026, with a new menu, a grand reopening on October 28, 2026, and Sunday hours. It sits in the middle of the downtown dining scene, a short walk from the Square, the Marion Theatre and the bars and venues that keep the area busy most nights of the week.

People pick Ivy on the Square for date night, a family dinner, or a meal with friends before something on the calendar. Diners rate it 4.8 out of 5, which puts it in good company on this list. The details on this page, address, phone and hours, come straight from the restaurant, and the kitchen team runs the show day to day, so the menu can shift with the season and with what is fresh. For reservations, large parties or a quick check on the wait, call ahead at 352-622-5550.

Good to know before you go

Good to know: It is open on Sundays, which is worth knowing because a good number of downtown spots close that day; the kitchen and bar run later on weekend nights, so it works after a show or a late event downtown. If you are making a night of it, pair dinner here with something from the events calendar: there is almost always live music, a market or a show within a few blocks.
