“Outdoor seating” means in the hallway of the hotel Lobby. For over $150 a person we figured we were going to get more for our money. The menu is a bit deceiving. The people are nice and the wait staff is good. Just not what we expected.

Wow!! Who knew that kosher food could be this amazing!! Every meal, including the breakfast buffet, that we had at Ovo was outstanding!! It’s a little pricey, but worth every penny!

Unfortunately, the Shabbat meal fell short of expectations. Given the price, I was looking forward to a more impressive experience, not just a variety of cheap dishes, but it didn't quite deliver.

Food was great Service was horrible, asked for a server multiple times as it was 10PM and my reservation was 9:30PM, I was told to be patient, after patiently waiting for 30 minutes. The outside section where we sat smelt like a smoke box, with them allowing a party of 12 to smoke cigarettes and cigars. Was horrible that they allowed that.

The vibe at OVO was nice, especially the outdoor seating. However, the value was not there. The prices were exorbitant and the portions pretty small. There were not any many kid friendly menu options . I would not dine here again soon.

We ate outside and didn't regret our decision. It wasn't as loud or as cramped as indoor and was the perfect temperature for it. The food was amazing- it was an endless amount and we were very happy with the variety. Thank you.

The food was delicious. The room was too dark and was very cold. Was very disappointed in the waiter service . They are understaffed and we didn’t get all the food we asked for. I’m still waiting on g for my Diet Coke and ketchup😀. Not sure if I will go back although the food was divine.
