Ovation Bistro Lakeland Priority Seating

First visit. Overall disappointed by the atmosphere, service and food. Server seemed to have a hard time hearing the customers over the dining room conversations, which caused incorrect orders. Booths and tables weren't comfortable. Burger and chicken breasts were extremely dry, fries weren't fresh, no presentation, and we waited over 30min for our main course. Appetizers were okay but the main entrees were a huge disappointment. We shared the feedback with our waitress and the management offered a free dessert for our troubles. You don't know until you try a place. I hope you have a more pleasant experience, it just wasn't in the cards for us.

Steak Wedge salad was mediocre, bit into a rotten grapes tomato and 4oz steak was tough varying degrees of rare to medium well, despite ordering medium rare. Buffalo Chicken sandwich was really good Lobster Mac n cheese not worth the additional charge. Overall...probably not going to revisit.

This place was amazing. We celebrated my sons 14th birthday with family and they made his day memorable. The GM came by our table and was very welcoming. Our waitress went above and beyond and was super sweet. The food was delicious! There were so many options to choose from. Let’s just say we will be coming back and we will definitely recommend this place to our many friends and family.

The food was good, the prices are acceptable, the service could have been better.

Everything was brilliant, what my visit with a friend I hadn't seen in a few years, so much more pleasant. my wife and I make it our new date night place.
