Hear from our valued guests
This place is definitely a hidden gem! Absolutely loved my experience here! Upon entering, you get the faint whif of the cigar bar ajoing the restaurant. The playlist was spot on which immedeately sets the mood. The drink selection, alcoholic, non-alcoholic, and specialty off menu drinks, were all equally delicious! The food presentation was amazing even before taking a bite! The meats were top quality, cooked to perfection. What I really appreciated was how well the sides and abundant choice of sauces paired with the main dishes—it felt like everything was thought through to bring out the best flavors. The desserts were delicious and with the after dinner drinks suggested by our waiter (and dj responsible for the awesome dinner music, we found out), Daniel, elevated them to an outstanding finish to a great meal! This experience was designed to have you slow down, embrace conversation, and fully enjoy every course, without being rushed. Great food, great atmosphere, and well worth the price. We’ll definitely be coming back here!!
Service was great, food was beautifully plated and very good. Elevated, yet not pretentious. Do yourself a favor and give it a try. Don’t miss out on the dessert or after dinner cordials.
Absolutely fantastic evening with my wife. The food is outstanding. We had the grilled watermelon which was totaling surprising. The Smokey Spell burger was superb. Wish I had room to eat 2 of them, it was so good.My wife built her own dinner using the tailor made platter and the Honey Cake for desert. Order it at the beginning of your meal so it is done when you're done. Our server Daniel was friendly and personable and on top of everything. A pretty busy evening there, not an empty table
Owl’s Nest has become a favorite restaurant for my family! The cocktails and food are always amazing and service is top-notch. This time, we enjoyed the mango salad, ribeye, tailor-made platter with pulled pork, honey cake, and hidden gem dessert, and we would get them all again! Can’t wait to return.
Finding Owl’s Nest for my husband's birthday felt completely serendipitous, and what a gift it turned out to be! This is hands-down one of the most fantastic restaurants we’ve ever eaten at. We ordered the Texas-style, low-and-slow BBQ create-your-own sampler platter, and literally every bite was phenomenal: wagyu brisket that practically melted like butter, perfectly smoked pulled pork, super tender chicken, and lamb chops that were absolute perfection. The attention to flavor and presentation was next-level! Our appetizer, grilled watermelon with balsamic, feta, and microgreens, was unexpected and unforgettable. So good! Dessert sealed the deal: a layered honey cake that was like nothing I've ever tasted and nothing short of incredible. And then, as if the night couldn’t get any better, Daniel surprised us by singing “Happy Birthday” in Russian, a moment that was deeply touching. His voice (and the gesture) were truly beautiful and unforgettable. Our server, Riley, was super knowledgeable about the menu and genuinely sweet. Everything was special from start to finish. We can’t wait to return.
I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Owl’s Nest, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, clean, and beautifully prepared. Every dish felt thoughtfully crafted with high-quality ingredients and great attention to detail. The atmosphere was another highlight. The space is clean, light, and inviting, with just the right touch of elegance to make the experience feel special without being overly formal. It strikes a perfect balance between comfortable and upscale, creating a setting that’s ideal for both casual meals and more refined occasions. Overall, The Owl’s Nest exceeded my expectations. Excellent food, a refined atmosphere, and a well-run establishment. Highly recommended!
We loved the Wagyu brisket. We were in a rush and the restaurant, server (Mark?) and chef kindly accommodated us by serving the food quickly and providing boxes for take out immediately (did not have time to finish our food). Restaurant’s location is in a tranquil place too. We’re visitors from overseas and we’ll come back here to eat in a much slower pace. We are delighted to have discovered this place. Excellent food and service overall
The food was so good, Texas inspired BBQ with a Ukrainian twist. We went here for a 14 person dinner and the staff and chefs were extremely accommodating. They were attentive, entertaining, and super informative about the items on the menu. The entrees and appetizers were absolutely delicious, all of the meats, marinades, and sauces were particularly incredible (although my girlfriend wanted me to give a 5 star just because of the honey cake dessert)! I would definitely come here again for a special occasion.
Truly a hidden gem! We went with friends for dinner and I was blown away. I had the smoked brisket soup with corn bread that was amazing. Next came shrimp risotto that was creamy flavorful and prepared perfectly. My wife had the surf and turf special which consisted of a cooked to perfection medium filet mignon topped with jumbo shrimp. Desserts are made to order so we ordered those at the beginning. She had a honey layer cake and I had chefs take on Dubai chocolate bar which was a hard shell of dark chocolate with a pistachio mousse. The waiter described it as sinful and decadent…. Let me tell you he was not exaggerating. Everything we had was amazing from the first bite to the last. A 10 out of 10 for every aspect of our experience. To top everything off the waiter sang happy birthday to my wife in Russian. The staff was so friendly. The waiter saw us trying to take a group selfie and offered to take a picture for us. Next thing you know he came back with a ring light and took several photos including one for “the gram” 😂 we will definitely be back! Thank you Owls Mest for a wonderful and tasty dining experience!
My wonderful fiance took me here for my birthday. Neither of us had ever been. This was one of our best restaurant experiences ever! The service was impeccable. Our server Daniel was quick to make recommendations and timed the courses perfectly. He even sang me Happy Birthday in Russian! The bartender was highly professional and made some of the best cocktails we have ever tasted. Everything coming out of their bar feels top shelf. The food is to die for and you can tell the back of house really cares. All in all a wonderful restaurant with a team that shows a lot of love for what they do. Couldn't have been more pleased. Thank you again! Bravo!
