Our final fling after 3 weeks in Florida and this was our blow out meal. 2lb of wings (possibly maybe 8 wings per lb) VERY loaded skins, 2 full racks of ribs which frankly had no business having THAT much meat on, melt in your mouth brisket plus pretty much every side going. Our server Jason was a fellow Brit, funny, sarcastic and generally a lot more entertaining than the usual 'have a nice day'. He was a pretty good magician too. We were well fed, well looked after and it was all delicious too. A great experience to end our holiday. Less

Very impressed with the drinks, food, and ambiance! Bartender (Alex) was amazing, loved the variety of drinks she recommend to me. Would highly recommend Ovation Bistro & Bar. Less

First time for us at this restaurant. Wife found it and the reviews were great. Well, the reviews were right. Great food, excellent service, and reasonable prices. Will definitely go back again. Less

The service at this restaurant was a little above average our waiter Tyler was OK but not very attentive. The steaks were either overcooked or undercooked so I would say pretty average. I know this place gets good ratings, but the restaurant was somewhat dirty and unorganized. We did eat here for Easter dinner so maybe they were understaffed. I will say the appetizers were very good. Less

I don’t normally write reviews, but my recent visit to Ovation Bistro made it impossible not to share just how incredible the experience was—largely thanks to our phenomenal server, Susie.From the moment we were seated, Susie set the tone for the evening with a warm, genuine welcome and a smile that instantly made us feel at home. Her knowledge of the menu was impressive; she answered all our questions with confidence and gave thoughtful recommendations that truly elevated our meal. (Pro tip: if Susie suggests it, just order it—you won’t regret it.)What stood out most was her attentiveness without being intrusive. She anticipated our needs before we even had to ask—whether it was refilling drinks, checking in at just the right moment, or making sure everything came out just right. It’s rare to find someone who balances professionalism with such authentic hospitality.And let’s be real: the food at Ovation Bistro is already top-tier—juicy, perfectly cooked steaks, bold flavors, and a cozy, upscale atmosphere—but Susie’s service made it unforgettable. She turned a great meal into a truly memorable experience.If you're dining at Ovation, ask for Susie. She doesn’t just serve dinner—she delivers an experience. Five stars, hands down. Less

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Ovation Bistro in Davenport. Susie, our waitress, provided exceptional service, ensuring our order met expectations and offering a pleasant experience. I look forward to returning. Less

We came in and Susie was our server. She was absolutely amazing. Very attentive, great attitude and personality all while doing her job with a smile. We had the Pretzels with Beer Cheese they were nice and hot. Susie recommended them and they didn’t disappoint . She is a great asset to the team and they need a server like her at every restaurant !!! Less

This place is fantastic. From the outside of looks like a basic diner. Once you enter you will quickly realize how great your dining experience is about to be. The staff are ALL friendly and welcoming. There are great food options that are expertly prepared. Drinks are also properly prepared and creative. The food is great and not overpriced. You want to try everything because it is so good. Less
