Ovation: Dining and Entertainment

We visited Ovation Restaurant on Camp Bowie this past weekend when our friend wanted to introduce us to her new favorite restaurant. She told me about her favorite dish in detail so when we went I followed her lead.

We arrived for lunch into a dimly lit space. Most restaurants try to utilize all the natural light they get from the usual storefront windows. But Ovation's space is truly focused on the nightly entertainment. Therefore, all outside light has been blocked off, ceilings and walls are dark as well as the furniture. The presence of a small stage area and equipment can be seen from all the tables. I can only remember colorful glass pendant lights scattered around the bar area but not much more appeal. I suspect the food and entertainment are the two things to come for at this restaurant. We did not hear music but we did have a fabulous lunch.

My friend and I had the blackened grilled salmon which sat on a bed of potatoes, spinach, and onions. The salmon was wonderfully seasoned and perfectly cooked.
