This was our first time at Ovation Bistro in Lakeland. The staff, especially Robbie, were personable and attentive throughout our visit. Food was very good. The burger was flavorful and a good size for lunch menu . The establishment was darker inside than we would have liked .

Disappointing. Pork chop and asparagus was over cooked and so was their pretzel bread. The server was great and was very apologetic regarding the food. Not once the manager came to our table to speak to us. We definitely won't be back.

I will start by saying, it was a Monday evening at 7pm. I took my gf for her birthday, and made a reservation. I could have taken 40 ppl and we could have all sat immediately. There were only 2 other tables sat and nobody at the bar. Wine racks on the wall were completely empty, wall at our booth was gross and had food spots all over, music didn't match atmosphere, and prices were too high. The food was very good though, and we loved the French soup and our recommended specialty...
