We arrived at this restaurant for a meeting. my friend recommended this spot. Well, we were not disappointed. The staff members welcomed us with a smile and we had an excellent feeling. The meal was yummy. We enjoyed every moment and we shall absolutely come back again. We recommend this place to all.

The atmosphere of this place was really nice. The location itself was absolutely beautiful as well. We were able to experience 5 wines. I had lobster tacos. The tacos were over sauced. I couldn’t really taste the lobster itself. The shell I feel didn’t fit well with the meal. I tried the scallops and I had to give my compliments to the chef! They were so well seasoned and tender. Again this was a really nice place and I enjoyed it.
Had high hopes and was extremely disappointed. So we ordered for takeout. Our orders were the chopped burger, sirloin steak and marcarpone cake. The cake and the truffle fries that came with the burger were amazing. 5/5. But the rest, well let's just say we ate because we had nothing else to eat and of course because we paid for the food! The steak had no seasoning whatsoever, the butternut squash mush was bland as well. Also the steak should have come with a garlic demi, either there was none or too insignificant to notice. The burger was supposed to have caramelized onions, didn't find any. The taste wasn't that good either for the price. I don't know whether the kitchen was having a bad day or what, probably if we had dined in, the experience could have been better, probably they care less for takeouts. All in all our experience wasn't very good.
The Thirsty Owl was delicious. I had the Soup of the Day which was a Chicken vegetable in a flavorful lite broth. I followed that with the Chicken Wraps, they were PHENOMENAL. I paired my dinner with a glass of Snow Owl wine. My husband had the Stuffed Shrimp with fresh Spinach and Risotto paired with Tailspin wine also PHENOMENAL. We were so happy the Chef came out of the kitchen and we were able to personally thank him and discuss the details of what made our dinner so good. I give the Thirsty Owl 10 stars!
So, I really, really don’t want to talk bad about any small business during the pandemic, especially one that I think is a family run business. My experience was so weird however, I feel like the owner would appreciate the feedback. First, the owner himself kept referring to me and my wife as ‘kids.’ Not the biggest deal, it just seemed like his demeanor and his way. I loathe/hate being called a kid, chief, boss, or anything there-after. It instantly puts me on the defensive, makes me not like you and feels immediately conceded and disrespectful. Other than that, engaging guy. It was interesting that just before getting there, my wife and I had the conversation that, over the last decade, in our many travels we never received bad service which leads to my main gripe. In so many words, the young lady who was waiting on us was awful. Again, I’m sure she’s fighting the good fight too and really good at something. But, if I’m spending on a decently priced meal, I would rather not have napkins folded literally right in front of me, my dishes moved while I’m eating from it to make room for a new item or just the overall crassness with which she handled our seating. Other than that, cool little place but could use a lot more organization.
