Our first time here, we were a party of 13.
We had Faith S as our waitress and she was very attentive, never forgot anything our table asked for and always prompt with refills. Faith was AWESOME!! Great food! Great service! We will come back!
The place is really nice. It was the first place to visit for dinner on our vacation. As an appetizer, we ordered fried BBQ wings, which my kid was very satisfied with. For the main course, we had Encore shrimp pasta, the Chichen Ovation with mashed potatoes and Cesar salad, and the ribeye with broccoli and garden salad. Everything was delicious, we were glad to choose this place to eat! The waiter was very attentive. The time for waiting was appropriate.
This restaurant was outstanding. The food was amazing. We ordered the chicken ovation ( chicken, spinach rotated tomatoes, ghost cheese) and steak. The sauces on both of the dishes were out of this world. One of the best meals that we have had in a while. Our server Erin and Izzy are great
Enjoyed our visit for dinner the other day. I came here with a friend. I got a flatbread and salad. My friend got a steak. We both enjoyed our food.
Staff was friendly and efficient.
Very casual and relaxed atmosphere.

We were there for lunch! Excellent service right from the friendly greeting at the door! Our server recommended the brisket sandwich to my husband and he LOVED it with the sweet potato fries drizzled w/ honey glaze! I had the wedge salad w/ the brisket and I will agree! Best brisket EVER. Great prices, food and service...we'll definitely be back!!
I had the pleasure of ordering take out today, December 14, 2023 from Ovation in Winter Haven. I have had a rough week and need some comfort food. I got off work at 7 and did not want to cook or have fast food. I ordered the pork chops, broccoli and mash potatoes. Oh my goodness! I have enjoyed one of the best meals I have had in a long time. The pork chops were so tender and juicy, I think I could have used my finger to cut them. The broccoli was great, enough for two! I forgot to order butter for my potatoes but they were still good. I had to call them in the middle of eating just to let them know how great it was and how comforting it was.
Interesting place, completely opposite that I usually like, as fine dining and arty atmosphere.
Atmosphere was not the best, dark and not too friendly for a family with 5 years old, but… food and service was excellent. We liked everything we ordered, I had ribs, perfectly cooked, seasoned and served!

I can’t remember the last time i had food and EVERYTHING was perfect. This was the case at Ovation Bistro. Our server Izzy recommended a lobster mushroom sauce for my wife’s sirloin and i regret not getting it for myself! It was delicious! Awesome experience will definitely be going back soon!
Enjoyed it so much we went back a third time now too this time miss faith was amazing too this time as every time it's 1000000******** stars from us I hope to be working there soon 🙏 we commemorated our 19th anniversary there on September 3rd and enjoyed every moment ❤️ Izzy is amazing and y'all have great food great staff great atmosphere and overall a great place to enjoy a meal meeting or even a date night or going out with friends even they have a bar and all
If you ever wanted to go to a place where the moment you hear smoked steak that is wood grilled, your mouth instantly waters, this is the place. The moment my family and I entered, we were greeted by the owner into a simple yet elegant atmosphere where you can go underdressed or overdressed and not feel like you are standing out.
The service was welcoming from start to finish, and the moment I chomped down on their suggested Prime Rib, my taste buds exploded from pure satisfaction. The meat was tender and well seasoned as well as their sides. This is a bistro restaurant I definitely see myself coming back to.
Mercedes and Mike were top tier So amazing!!!! Very attentive. Mercedes remembered me and had everything come out right for me. I love it here!
Our server Daya was fantastic, very attentive and friendly! And the manager Mike offered great service as well, definitely made the dining experience one to remember! The Jerk Mahi sandwich was very flavorful, will definitely be back!
Cannot say enough good things about this place. We have been wanting to try it and are so glad we did. The staff was extremely friendly. Our server, Shelby should be kloned so the world has more excellent servers. The food was truly tremendous! Great flavor, came out hot, steak just like it was ordered, inviting food and drink specials. I have the chicken alfredo and it was superb. Restaurant was very clean, which makes a big difference in my reviews and desire to return again. I could go on forever, I think. Met the GM, Robert who came by the table to ensure we were enjoying the meal and ourselves... And indeed we were. Please, if you have not tried this place, do yourself a favor and go there. I can assure you that you will NOT be disappointed.
Thanks to Shelby, Robert and the rest of the staff for caring and making it show!!!
We ordered through Uber eats to get delivery for a large group. The food was tasty even though our drinks and a couple side items didn’t arrive. That was remedied through UberEats but doesn’t change the fact that the items didn’t arrive. The chicken tenders were extremely hard and difficult for the kids to bite into/chew. All of the other items were cooked as requested.
We usually eat in but decided to order delivery this time. We did request utensils but they weren’t delivered. I gave 4 stars because service inside is always friendly and we enjoy visiting this location. We like supporting Ovation and wish they could stay consistent when ordering online through a delivery partner.
Our food was perfect! The brisket was so tender it fell apart and the coleslaw was excellent. I have never had better beer cheese and pretzel bread!! Our server was very attentive. We never had to ask for anything; she had it on our table before then. We dined in Winter Haven and highly recommend this restaurant!!!! Thanks to all who stopped by our table to check on us, even the District Manager!!!!
Y’all need to make MERCEDES your server when you come here. She definitely deserves a raise the way that girl gave us the most wonderful restaurant experience ever. She’s very much a sweetheart and is on point with the customer service. I traveled all the way from Philly and I appreciate that she didn’t leave me unsatisfied and was entertaining me unlike the other restaurants I’ve been to in Florida. Anyways she’s the best my food was hot and amazing and I’m happy I can’t wait to come back again to see her and eat that delicious food again omg
Erin our waitress was awesome and would recommend this place to anyone living in area or visiting. Crispy wings were delish. Chicken and brisket with baked potato too. Erin was so kind to look for us in parking lot after we left with a bag we had forgotten. Good Person and great waitress!
Mike was really friendly and came over and spoke with us. Very happy with our food and our waitress Mercedes. Also the bartender was the best. They made the whole experience great. Mae us feel special. Looking forward to our next visit.
