Metal found in wife's mashed potatoes... I'm surprised that the person putting on the lid did not notice it unless it was intentional!

Convenient location in the store plaza area. Lots of parking for Friday night. It was busy. We went about 7 PM. The server was great and attentive. The menu had a big variety. We got the shrimp appetizer sauce with nice and spicy. The shrimps were large. I have the sirloin steak With garlic mash. My other side was a Caesar salad, which actually took the highlight of the menu. Nothing crazy but I enjoyed it. They had a decent wine selection. I got an Italian Pinot Noir that was enjoyable. The dessert menu was delicious. I had a pineapple upside down cake super simple lots of other classic dessert items on the menu. The spa is good for a first date or large group. I would definitely come back again.

We searched for a nice restaurant on our way to Disney World from Port Charlotte and found Ovation. It was a Very Good Choice!First and foremost, Patrick. Or as we call him, The Man Patrick! We arrived shortly after opening, and he was about the only one serving and making cocktails, and he may have been greeting and seating some too. Anyway, he was doing all this while providing excellent service. Husband had the berry mojito and I had James peach cocktail. Both delicious. Husband had the Lamb shank, and he loved it. I had the potato skins with brisket. Very good. Son in law had a huge burger and daughter had the nachos with the brisket which they also had high praise for.The place was clean but I would say it is ready for a refresh and I think it would be really great Thank you for the hospitality Patrick we'll be back.

Erin was our server. We sat outside on the "patio" which is in the strip mall parking lot because it was cold inside. It took a while for service once we sat, once we ordered drinks and apps, once we ordered entrees, and once we got the check. Were they short-staffed? I don't know.Margaritas were so-so. bbq flat bread was good. My Caesar salad was bland. I ordered a chicken and ribs combo. While ribs fell off the bone, the chicken was dry. Garlic mashed potatoes were okay. Medium well lamb chops were cooked well. Overall not what we expected in terms of service, ambiance or food quality based on other reviews.

Everything went well! A nice restaurant in Winter Haven , about 30 minutes from Warner University in Lake Wales. I had their "Special Prime Rib", which was very good. Moderately priced menu, decent selection. Nice atmosphere, good service.I would return..

From the outside, not sure what to expect as in the middle of a strip mall. Inside, the decor was nice. We had a great waitress that explained things well. The food was really good. I had brisket and ribs combo that was really tasty. We had a bowl of tomato basil soup that was also good.

This place was exceptional! There is not a ton of places in this neck of the woods and I had to stay here overnight for work so I took a chance on this restaurant and boy was I lucky I stopped by. I sat at the bar and the server was super friendly Service was awesome. I ordered the salmon which started with the garden salad and came with a side and I chose to do the loaded baked potato. Wow!!!

As steakhouses go this Ovation location will definitely give you what you expect. The staff was great, the food was equally delicious. I had the ribeye with a parmesan crumble crust and a loaded sweet potato, my wife ordered the lamb chops which she was kind enough to let me have a bite (don't worry I shared with her too). We also had the pretzel bread with beer cheese (which is good enough to return for alone) and the Brussels sprouts. No complaints!Why the 4 stars and not 5? The negatives; The patio tables are hard to keep clean and it shows. I pulled my fork from the napkin with a cooked gain of rice stuck in between the prongs. All in all; they took good care of us and addressed the minor issues quickly and efficiently with pleasant service. Food was all fantastic. Don't be afraid of the patio just make sure that the tables are cleaned. Definitely going back!

Very disappointed. Why take reservations if you have one waitress, one bartender, and one cook? We're not going back. Too bad, because we've taken other groups there.
