Review of Ovation Bistro & Bar, Winter Haven

I am always hesitant about trying restaurants based on gluten free while traveling but Oblivion had multiple positive reviews so we tried it. I was not disappointed. While they do prepare all the foods in the same kitchen our server told us the chef takes extra precautions when preparing the food to prevent cross contamination. In all my travels they have been one of the best restaurants I’ve tried. Not only for gluten free (they have a very nice dedicated gluten free menu) but everyone in our group said it was great. Sara was an excellent server even with how busy they were. She was very attentive and understanding about gluten free as her mom has Celiacs also she said. The general manager (I believe his name was Lucas) came by to check on all the tables in between bussing tables to help his staff get caught up. He was very friendly and the staff seemed to like him a lot. This says a lot about a restaurant by how a staff sees their manager.

Celiac friendly?

Yes
