    Our waiter was the worst. She was very unfriendly and she didn’t help us with anything and when we paid they forced to 22% tip! We never returned

    Food was horrible. Buffalo Chicken dip says served with Crispy Kettle Chips and ours were served with soggy steak fries and had blue cheese on top which was NOT listed on the menu. The potato skins were burned on bottom and the cheese was melted onto the plate and rubbery indicating that they were microwaved

    We don't often get to Ovation Bistro & Bar so today's visit was a nice treat! We love the food and the fact they will donate a meal when you order one of the meals designated on the menu! The menu has plenty of variety beginning with the appetizers! You will be sure to find something you love. The service was wonderful and the portions will have you leaving with leftovers.

    This was our first time here visiting the area. It was 2:15 and quiet so promptly seated. Erin was our waitress who was very friendly and attentive. I ordered brisket and ribs. The brisket was delicious and so was the Ovation barbecue sauce. Garden salad was fresh and a good choice. Ribs were kind of dry and just okay. Hubby had ribeye and said it was very good. Had mango margarita that was freshing. Inside is dark but booths are very spacious and restroom very clean. Must try if you’re in the area.

    When we first checked in with Patrick at the front desk he informed us that he would be our waiter for our group. What an exceptional young man! He was very kind and considerate and very helpful in describing the dinner selections. Once ordered the food came out fast,hot and was very delicious. The cheese cake that I had for dessert was one of the best ever.
