    We showed up at 5:45 for our priority seating and were told we could not be seated due to a party of 40 being accommodated. I understand that, BUT they had our contact information and never reached out to advise they could no longer accept seating that evening due to the unexpected large party. Just be professional, save people the trip. They did offer to seat us outside but it was VERY cold that evening.

    Dinner for two on a Monday night. Atmosphere was average. Service was average(somebody going through the routine), didn’t tell us the specials for the night. I was hoping the food would save it, but unfortunately it was nothing special.

    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.
