This was our first time eating at Ovation since moving to Florida last month and we will definitely be back. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. We also thought our server Tayler was excellent. She was very friendly and attentive, but not hovering over us. We are excited to have such a great place to eat close to home. Also looking forward and making plans to try out Wine Wednesday.

We visited for the first time last May for our date night and we had excellent experience. Service food and atmosphere. So we thought this time we try the take-out / to-go order and were delighted by both! The service is excellent, the staff was once again friendly and completed our order as we expected. The food was amazing.

Good food, casual atmosphere. Great for kids! Best kids menu I’ve seen with fun puzzles and colored pencils. You get a refill pitures for soft drinks on the table.

This is a great option for dining and Davenport conveniently located to I 4. There is both indoor and outdoor patio seating. The outdoor seating is covered and shaded from the sun. I have been here many times and never had a bad meal. The barbecue is very well done and they have one of my favorite salads 1 of my favorite salads ever here. They have a good variety of Alcoholic beverages, and one of the current specials, the peach cobbler cocktail. is is heaven in a glass.

Ariana made our first visit to this restaurant something to remember. She really made us feel welcome . She has a great attitude and excellent customer service! She suggested an appetizer we wouldn’t have tried other wise, which was fantastic. Much mahalos to Ariana for making my Father’s day special. We will definitely be back before our vacation is over!

This was our second time eating at Ovation Bisto & Bar Davenport location. Food was amazing! I have a Gluten allergy and love that they offer a gluten free menu! I had the beef brisket on a gluten free bun with asparagus my husband had the ribs and coleslaw with a Caesar salad and we shared the potato skins. Our server Carly was super sweet and provided amazing service. My husband and I highly recommend this location and we will definitely be dining here again.

Great local restaurant with great food! The brisket was super tender and flavorful as was the grilled chicken. They offered 3 house bbq sauces which were all good, but my favorite was the Ovation sauce which was a rich and sweet sauce. It went well with the brisket and chicken. The loaded baked potato was also well prepared and fresh. Our server, Alex, was friendly, and we had a great experience.

Let me begin by saying that we eat here often due to it being so close. And normally we’re happy with our meal. Unfortunately I was embarrassed as we brought two of our friends that Saturday night….$85 later….Pulled Brisket sandwich the brisket was all fat on both my husbands dish as well as our friends. The Pork sandwich was extremely dry. Sweet potato fries were flat on taste. The salad was nice and crisp and the regular fries were very good. We had onion rings as an appetizer and they were delicious and crispy. Our waitress was great never an empty glass! We didn’t address this issue at the time due to us already embarrassed and didn’t want to make our friends feel uncomfortable.
