Had a nice meal with great selection of craft beer. Menu was a little short, could stand a couple more entree choices (there were two). Atmosphere was nice, service was excellent.

This restaurant came recommended to me as one that is vegetarian friendly. Lots of delicious vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options! I had the Olek's Buffalo Stance which is described on the menu as Buffalo Spiced Tempeh, Pickled Red Onion, Baby Arugula, Bleu Cheese Dressing on Baguette. It was wonderful and the portions are huge! Sandwiches come with a side of... More

This is farm fresh, healthy cooking at its best. Very energized and creative menu with unique drinks. In an old house that has been renovated so feels very cozy. Artwork on the walls is local artists as well.

My wife & I recently visited The Owl House for dinner. We arrived early for our reservation but were quickly seated. Our waiter was very attentive and explained the dinner specials. I went with one of his recommendations and was delighted with my choice. The food was delicious! This is definitely a place we want to visit again... soon!

I quite enjoyed this little place. It's literally in a house in a neighborhood. They have vegan, vegetarian, and meaty foods. The owners spent some in in Boston, which is interesting, since we thought this place felt a bit un-Rochesterian.

We stopped in here to see the artwork and decided to have dinner. The food was quite yummy. We had the rosemary and pepper fries w spiced ketchup to start. They were great, devoured in short order. I had the big BLT and it was big and quite good. My wife had the smoked tofu. I also had the smoked... More

Had a great time here. Short wait with reservations. I had a very nice red Callo Tinto, which was a meritage with Monastrell plus others. My husband had a Mojo IPA that he enjoyed enough to order 2 more. He was served in an unusual glass that he loved and the server let him have it. We both had an... More

I have been to the owl house twice so far, neither time disappointed. The menu is mainly sandwiches, but also a couple of special entrees every day. Both times I started out with the nachos with smoked tofu and they are delicious, not typical nachos but very enjoyable. I still have dreams about the saigon sandwich, the waiter (I wish... More

My daughter and I had lunch here on Valentines Day. Our sandwiches were very tasty. They were on the small side so not very filling at all. To have a proper lunch you would have needed to order a soup or a salad to go with them. The service was friendly and efficient considering it was a very busy day... More
