When we pulled in the parking lot we wondered if we were led astray by all of the great reviews…but, our experience lived up to the high ratings. B&B was exceptional! Favorites: shrimp app, the seafood special, the mocktails, and lava cake. Our server, Baylee, was a joy. We are from Louisville, which has one of the best independent restaurant scenes in the country, so when we are blown away it says something. GREAT PLACE!

We ate outside. Beautiful night Excellent service. Dungeoness crab bucket. Comes with sausage and corn. Very tasty. They give you scissors which helps cut the crab to get more meat. We got Brussels sprouts which were very tasty. Highly recommend this place

We dined at Ovide for dinner Halloween night and then had breakfast the following morning. Both meals were fantastic! Chef John does an amazing job for dinner and we always love to see Chef Charles in the morning for breakfast. Our regular server there, Ms. Ashley is always a pleasure to see and takes very good care of us. We are certainly repeat diners.

Our server, Joel, was outstanding. He was honest and steered us the right direction in what to order. My filet melted in my mouth and the Brussels sprouts were out of this world. My husband loved his ribeye and potato skillet. It was so sweet that they gave us a delicious dessert to end our incredible anniversary dinner. We cannot wait to come back!

Rachel was our server and she was amazing! Friendly and talkative! Calamari appetizer is my favorite! Fish and chips is good also! Visited here 15 years ago and wanted to stop by again. We had reservations at 5:15 and by the time we left an hour later, the place was crowded with a long wait line! Go early!

The service was fantastic. The 20oz steak was cooked perfectly! The Brussels sprouts were the star of the show!!! Followed closely by the pumpkin pie and crème brûlée.
