My wife and I had a fantastic brunch at Ovation. Try the Bloody Mary - delicious! I had the Eggs Benedict and my wife had the Pancakes. Both were expertly prepared. Romano has created a cute comfortable café experience where he treats his guests like family. We enjoyed the great meal and the experience and we'll definitely be back.

My wife and I had a wonderful dinner, and we hear the brunch is somehow even better. The owner/server was fabulous, the food so tasty and unique, and there’s a great ambiance both indoor and outdoor seating. We can’t wait to go back. I wish we got pics of all our food, but at least we got a couple pics of dessert.

Very bizarre slow service. More than 30Mins for drinks to arrive. More than 30 mins after this for food to even be ordered. No updates or apologies from staff at anytime.3 of our party ordered croissants with French scrambled eggs. And received incredibly dry overcooked fried eggs.We would have ordered several drinks had we been offered at any stage. We headed down the road for drinks after.Sad sad experience unsure how the ratings are so high.

Staff were very nice but very slow. Took 30min to get a round of mimosas then another 30min before they took our order. Half our table ordered a dish that came with “French scrambled egg” and all dishes came out with overHARD eggs. No one asked if we wanted a drink refill throughout our two hour service.

The owner is a delight! The chef made the most delicious meals. The salmon was wonderful. And while it’s a small place, it is a great place to try.

My only complaint is they aren’t open for lunch. Charming servers, fabulous food, quality ingredients and an upscale bohemian atmosphere.
