Review content:
I have been to Ovelia quite a lot actually, my wife and I live on the block and go there for brunch at least once or twice a month, and I have also gone for dinner and lunch as well. We were always attracted to the ambiance, decor, roominess of it all, but I have to say as of late, it has just been downright dissapointing. I understand every restaraunt goes through growing pains, and we all have ""off"" nights, but my latest dining experience was the icing on the cake. I brought my wife and sister for lunch. My sister told the waitress that she is a vegetarian, and she replied ""Oh that's too bad"" as if my sister had done something wrong. Whether or not she meant to, she came off as very rude and disrespectful. Furthermore, of all the food we ordered, the pita was the only part we enjoyed. The shrimp in my wife's salad was extremely overcooked and lacked flavor, actually it tasted to me like it was frozen at one point - BIG no no. I ordered the portobello burger thinking I was getting a lighter meal, but the bread was so hard I couldn't even bite into it, and there was so much goat cheese on it, it was just... overkill. I guess it did end up being a light lunch because the grilled vegetables and side salad were the only edible parts of the meal. Finally, we ordered a frozen cheesecake for dessert. Frozen is an understatement, a chainsaw wouldn't have been able to cut that thing. The bits that we were able to chisel off with a steak knife tasted so strongly of freezerburn, the three of us couldn't even finish half. At the end we just paid the check, and decided that the next time we wanted lunch, we'd take the walk down to cafe bar instead.
Pros: It looks nice, is never too crowded
Cons: Food was disgusting
