Ovations at Wolf TrapGreat Pre-Show Dining Experience!I ate there for the convenience of dinner before a show at Wolftrap and was delighted with how good the food was! For a buffet style restaurant, the choices were surprisingly good - excellent options for healthy eating and a nice wine list! The salads were fresh, the salmon was delicious and the roast beef from the carvery was a lovely medium rare. Two good vegetable choices, asparagus and roast brussel sprouts and fresh fruit was available for desert (although I did splurge on one of the yummy cupcakes!). Overall, a very lovely dining experience and one I will happily repeat!6/9/2013 12:00:00 AMPre-Show BuffetWe had hit Ovations for a pre-show buffet. Outstanding food. Great service. Beautiful view of the park lands around the Filine Center at Wolftrap. We got there at 5:30 and were done with a leisurely dinner by 6:30. I would recommend going later next time.6/8/2013 12:00:00 AMFirst TimeIt was not what i expected. I was actually pleasantly surprised. While the atmosphere was casual it had just enough elegance to make it a unique experience6/8/2013 12:00:00 AMBetter than expectedI never expect much from buffets....or restaurants with a captive audience (this one is basically the only game in town at Wolftrap). Ovations was a nice surprise. Above average food. Not spectacular, but definitely some very tasty items among the usual dry buffet chicken options. Service was great - friendly and speedy. And the atmosphere (on a beautiful night) cannot be beat!6/4/2013 12:00:00 AMFinally Ovations for OvationsWe have been going to Wolf Trap for years and have usually eaten at Ovations if a dinner was not available at the member's deck. We agreed the food was mediocre at best, but went because it was convenient to be at Wolf Trap and parked ready to attend the performance. What a surprise!! We were expecting the same mediocre food and got excellence.6/4/2013 12:00:00 AMWolf Trap EventWe attended Ovation Restaurant for dinner prior to a concert.

The wine is very reasonably priced.5/31/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat ExperienceThe new buffet only policy coupled with significant improvement to everything on the menu including the desserts made our first show at Wolftrap this summer a great experience. Congrats to all who were part of the changes.5/25/2013 12:00:00 AMExceeded expectationsDinner for 2 before the Prairie Home Companinion Show. Food was better than expected, very good. Nice ambiance.5/24/2013 12:00:00 AMDinning at Ovations at Wolf TrapI have dined at Ovations on several occations and our over all experience each time was very good. This last time however the prime rib was dry! That supprised me since it is normally my favorite dish. The variety of choices on the buffet is fabulous, the food is hot and constantly refilled so there is seldom an empty serving dish. Everyone in my party was very complimentery about the buffet and the staff. Your servers are extremely polite, very helpful and a joy to talk to. I can say I have recommended Ovations to all of my friends who attend performances at Wolf Trap and all are extremely satisfied with the choice. Please keep up the good work.5/24/2013 12:00:00 AMBest Option for a Wolf Trap NightThe food was quite good for a buffet with lots of variety and good flavors. There was something (hot and cold) for everyone in our group as well as much more than anyone could eat. I especially enjoyed the brussel sprouts and the asparagus. The evening we were there was cold and windy which took away from fully enjoying the food but our servers helped us to make the best of it. We had early reservations 5:45 and were very glad we did for many, many folks waited and waited for seats. Anyone with plans to attend a show at The filene Center will find Ovations a convenient and delicious choice.5/24/2013 12:00:00 AM
