    The host was gracious, kind and helpful. Our server, Sofia was personable and informative. She gave great service without being obtrusive. The overall ambiance was very comfortable and the playlist was fantastic. Thank you for a great time!

    Service was amazing! Cannot speak highly enough of the girl who was taking care of us. The drinks were not fantastic, which were we bummed about. They had a decent list of Italian reds by the glass and wish we had gone that route. The mushrooms were our least favorite part… we did not realize they were a cold dish and we both took one bite and pushed the bowl to the end of the table. The burger was the best part! Very good, the bun was slightly crispy on the interior and the flavors were great. The pepperoni pizza was decent, but would not go out of my way to go back for it. Overall, cool vibe… I wish we had even liked the cocktails, as we would have considered coming back just for drinks and ambiance… but will likely not be returning. There are too many great places in the city that deliver.

    I made this reservation for a client outing and the evening didn’t disappoint. Our server Sophia was fantastic and made some terrific recommendations. The prices are solid and the quality of the food and drink was top-notch. I’ll be back for sure.

    The place is great, nice decor, super nice staff, except that the front door is located between a strip club, potheads smokin on the corner, and homelessness under the forever scaffold. Not the owl’s fault. When the front door opens it gets pretty dank. Otherwise the food and cocktails are excellent!!
