There were 3 of us and we each ordered something different. Everyone’s meal was delicious. Our server, Jonah, was very knowledgeable about the menu and was attentive but not overly attentive- just perfect. The restaurant is beautiful and the view is amazing.

We dined at the Owl on our 6 month wedding anniversary weekend for Brunch 4/27. We sat on the balcony and it was a perfect day filled with the smells of the fresh honeysuckle blooming. The service was excellent. We had the Crab Cakes Benedict and a Breakfast Sandwich which were both delicious. We are always in search of who has Hanson Vodka, which is amazing and they had everything we wanted. Bloody Mary with Hanson Habanero, Screw Driver with Hanson Mandarin and an Espresso Martini for dessert with Hanson Espresso Vodka. Excellent experience. We will definitely be back. Thank you.
