Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Golden Owl Tavern offers a beautiful ambiance and a "great location" that encourages return visits. The bison meatloaf and deviled eggs are highlights for many patrons. While "food was amazing" and "service was excellent" for some, others noted slow service and occasional inconsistencies. Valet parking adds convenience to the experience.

    Food was way too salty and seemed microwaved not cooked fresh. Flank steak was stringy. Crème brûlée was Nutella flavored and the consistency was like Jello pudding not custard. Service was excellent though.

    I have been many times to Golden Owl as I bring seminar speakers there from UNC Charlotte. The food overall is okay. Quick note to the chefs-the new taco appetizer is too much food for an appetizer, it should be a main. Th service is very random. About one third of the times I have eaten there the server has been superb. The other two times, the service has been poor. This was includes lack of knowledge about the food/drink selection, timing of coming to the table and general professionalism. This may be due to staff turnover/new hirings, but the service really detracts from the experience

    We had a reservation but still had to wait. The bartender was amazing I wish I had gotten her name. Management was very rude.

    The atmosphere was great and servers were friendly. Enjoyed our time there. However, service was slow and drinks had to be ordered multiple times. The food was over cooked (multiple people ordered medium-rare steak and got well-done). Overall, for the area, probably one of the best restaurants but still some improvements needed.
