Awesome food and service. Fun atmosphere! Definitely come here if you’re looking for something new to eat or if you haven’t had Venezuelan food. Romano the owner and staff are really awesome and makes it like a fun family place to relax and eat. There was cool artwork on the wall as well.

This was one of the best restaurants my wife and I have been to in a while! We highly recommend the Brussels Sprouts but the burgers and truffle fries were incredible as well! But the best part of our experience was our server Romano who was super personable and welcoming! This was the perfect date spot and we can’t wait to try their brunch menu next time!

Great overall experience easy to order menu and food that tastes like homemade food growing up! I had the soup which was great on a cold day. I can’t think of one bad thing on the menu. There was only one person working that day but the food actually came out pretty fast so no complaints.

This was my first time coming, and it was amazing! I ordered the Port Wine Burger with a side of fries and the Blackberry Lemonade. The burger was delicious with great deep tones, and the fries were nice and flavourful. The lemonade had both sweet and savory. We also ordered the Brussell sprouts and French bread, which were great as well. Overall, the atmosphere was sweet and cozy. Our service from Ramon was great and speedy. 4.5 stars, for sure would recommend, just make sure to reserve ahead!

UPDATED REVIEW ::::
We just finished lunch at the new reboot of Ovation . I have never had Caribbean cuisine in my life . I will be having more Caribbean cuisine for Ovation in the future . The flavors were immaculate. . The service was still the same & the vibe was fun and fresh ! Go and have a Caribbean experience. Also the price for the quality of food is wonderful. Come support a local restaurant that works hard to bring an amazing cuisine experience. Can’t want to try everything on the menu!!!!
What a gem!!! I have so many wonderful things to say about this place. This was our first time visiting this establishment. Let’s start with the service . The host was so kind and friendly. They allowed us to sit outside, even with the rain. We didn’t make an reservation. They were happy to accommodate. They have a cute outside seating area. Our server Kimberly was outstanding! We took her recommendation. She hit it on the head !! Beside amazing conversation & just having the best energy she checked on us many times even if we were her only table outside.
The food hands down maybe the best brunch I have had . The Brussels were to die for, my huge pancake was perfect ! The potatoes were stunning ! The croissant sandwich with eggs, bacon, and caramelized onion was ridiculous.
Also we struck up a conversation with the best humans !!! Thank you for being a gem in downtown Milwaukie !!! Make a reservation & tip your server well they deserve it and work hard for it !!! Can’t wait to come back !!

Today was my second time stepping out of the usual and into the fabulous. The food and service are amazing and it’s more than worth your time to drive into Milwaukie if you live in Portland. Everything is crafted with care and attention to detail and the menu is broad enough to serve different tastes and yet stays focused on excellence. I can’t wait to devour everything here again soon!

Amazing location, amazing vibe, wonderful staff, wonderful food. Found easy street parking, walked in and seated straight away. The atmosphere was great with lovely live plants and easy listening music. Truly an enjoyable morning! Will definitely be back and likely making this a regular location for brunch-ing!
Edit to add: have now been back multiple times and have enjoyed every meal every time!

This place is surprisingly really homie and cute! The atmosphere is amazing and the servers are really nice. We ordered the Ovation Burger and the Risotto D’ Automne and both were delicious. It’s a shame we didn’t get the Truffle fries due to a miscommunication with the servers and kitchen but it’s alright. For drinks we had the Apple Jackrabbit and it was sweet and enjoyable. We were billed incorrectly but the server was able to fix it and take care of it. I would definitely come back again!

What amazing food! It brought me back to my years living in NY. I ordered the Pork Belly Cachapa and my daughter got the Beef Patacon. The fried pork was super crispy, the cheese was delicious and the combination of corn pancake with creama was mouth-watering! The shredded beef was extremely flavorful mixed with ham and encased in fried plantains. Absolutely drool worthy. The atmosphere was upbeat and colorful. In addition to the super creative wood art hanging in the art gallery area of the restaurant.

Oh my goodness… I cannot rave enough about this adorable little hot spot. The food was incredible, so fresh!
We cleaned our plates, the drinks were smooth and refreshing (im a huge fan of butterfly pea).
The extra attention to detail and presentation will absolutely make me come back.
10 out of 10 this will become my new favorite place.
Oh and the owner Romano is a ray of sunshine; humble and helpful. Such a sweetheart. Thank you for an awesome evening! Xo
