Ovation Bistro & Bar, Lakeland

the food was great I had chicken & ribs my wife had steak and ribs she was really happy with the ribs they were perfectly seasoned with BBQ sauce. My chicken breast was nicely grilled juicy not too salty very good my wife's steak was perfectly cooked. The server, Angela, was great, very attentive. The manager came by to check up on everything. A great experience we will return.

The food was absolutely delicious!! I had the shrimp and lobster pasta, and it is to die for!! The atmosphere is great, and so was the service! They were very attentive and made sure that everything was ok throughout my meal! Definitely recommend you go check them out! I will definitely be back, and probably will be making them a regular place to visit a few times a week!

What is so different about Ovation Bistro and Bar is the service that the servers provide and the wonderful food that the owners Fernando and Joel have came up with for their menu. They have a little bit of everything for everybody. If you want to get a wonderful crispy chicken sandwich or some lip-smacking ribs, they have it. What sets this place apart from everyone else is that they actually care about the quality of their food and the quality of their service. More than likely one of the owners will come up and talk to you during your visit, and to me that is so special. If you give Ovation Bistro try I promise you will not be disappointed. Even if you're just looking for some desserts and a drink. Ask for Carrie or Laura, if you're looking for a drink. They make the best margaritas!

The food is always great. The staff goes above and beyond for the guest. I love how the owners and managers care by coming to the tables and checking on you. Must try if in or around the Lakeland area will not be disappointed. Recommend the combination plates best bang for your buck. Will be back again and again.

You'll be hard pressed to find a more enjoyable place to eat in Lakeland. The food was fantastic and service was great. Best steaks around here. The steaks are thinner than normal, still great, so make sure to order a little rarer then you'd normally. This way they're cooked to perfection around the edges. Get the caramel and sea salt cheesecake. That thing was gooood. The Moscow Mules were on point too. Try this place and you'll not regret it. I'll definitely be taking my in-laws here to make brownie points!
