It was wonderful and delicious!!!! My husband had Ahi Tuna plate and was amazing. I had grill swordfish marinated with delicious spices and it was superb!!! the only thing is that I found the onion soup a little bit salty... The Chef, our server and ambience was very pleasant!!! Great job!

If you like history (the bar back is from the 1800's), check out the Owl Grill & Saloon after a show or for lunch. The ambience is great although the food was a little uneven and the very pleasant server forgot part of our order twice. Try to get a booth at the back of the bar area. I think... More

We have eaten here several times and always have great food. Try the blue cheese bread. It is amazing.

Since the change in ownership, I have noticed that things are not quite what they used to be. At first, the new owner kept things pretty much the same, but that has changed. The first to slide downward was the stroganoff. I thought maybe it was an "off' night so tried again...this time the filet was not up to par.... More

The place has recently changed hands but I think it's the same chef. We have been eating at this restaurant for about 20 years and the quality is consistent. Good steaks and seafood.

We made reservations for the table by the fireplace and we were seated there as soon as we walked in the door. Our server was attentive; drinks and bread were refilled when needed. My husband's steak was not as hot as it could have been but my Halibut was delicious and we enjoyed our meal. I would would go back!

We hadn't been to The Owl in years and were too tired to drive to Roseville, so decided to eat in town. We are so glad we did. Everything about our experience was fantastic. Our waiter, Tyler, was extremely friendly, knowledgable about the menu, answered all our questions, and was attentive to detail without hovering over us. The food itself... More

It was just OK food, The owner was a more than helpful when it came to ordering wines from different regions and gave us samples before we purchased. The steaks were good, but not above avg. Fun place to meet for drinks and poopoos

From the moment we walked through the door, the service was terrible! We stood there for at least 10 mins before anyone even attempted to seat us. There must have been at least 5 different servers that walked right by us without saying one word, like can I help you? Not only did the staff walk right by us, but... More

Even after the Ownership changing hands, I still really enjoy and prefer this restaurant to most in the area. I enjoyed the rack of lamb. Not as good as before, but still very good. My 13 year old daughter was very happy with her filet mignon and she's a bit of a food snob with a very developed palette for... More
