The vodka selection was only Titto's or House brand. God knows what that was anything we asked for from the bar either they were out of it or had only one shot left, and it was a big group of us 10 people overall very poor service and food was also very poor quality .

Limited menu (not sure if that is game day related) not as good as Hollywood menu. All they are trying to do is turnout as much food as possible before the game starts. Won’t be going to this ovation ever again. Quality not as good and there is a tension about getting in and out before the game starts.

Very very slow service and incredibly out of order. They brought out my appetizer first, then my girlfriends main dish and then my girlfriends appetizer after and then my drink after that and then like 30 minutes later they brought out my main dish. It was decently busy given it was Valentine’s Day but not so much that it excused the services. Also pretty overpriced for the amount of food given. Maybe for a light lunch, not good for a nice dinner.
