Rooster & Owl

I don't impress easily. I have high standards, but I also understand different classes of restaurants. We came to celebrate my 70th birthday. My wife picked the restaurant. We arrived right on time and were immediately seated at a corner table with a view of the entire place. Our server was Ginger, who was very personable and knowledgeable. We did the tasting menu with wine pairing. The food was excellent, as expected. What was both surprising and most impressive was the efficiency of the staff. As soon as we finished a course, the table was cleared and cleaned, and new setups delivered. Explanations for every dish and wine selection were on point. Chris, the manager, had a significant presence, keeping an eye on everything. He has the presence of an owner. Suffice it to say we were suitably impressed. Two Michelin stars. Well deserved.

Phenomenal food experience. I always judge my fine dining experiences by a simple question “was it worth the price”? And Rooster and Owl resoundingly was. I went with a group of four which is perfect because it allowed us to order every dish off the menu. I’m still thinking about the Kampachi, lobster autumn roll, duck breast, and goat cheese cheesecake. Service is what you expect, just amazing in every way. A very special night with friends and a meal I won’t forget!

Absolutely phenomenal food all around. Every course that we tasted and shared were full of flavors and were well presented. Pasta, steak, quail, striped bass, desserts - all fantastic! Cocktails were good, the R&O Fashioned cocktail particularly was great! Service was attentive throughout. The meal here was very expensive, but perfect for a special occasion.

Wow, if you’re looking for a wonderful culinary experience, this is your place. To preface my food review, this is my first Michelin star restaurant and I didn’t really know what to expect. I can say this place really makes it feel like a “normal” restaurant and wasn’t trying to be over the top fancy or anything which I appreciate. They let the food speak for itself which it certainly did. Every dish is unique and comes plated in an array of colors, flavors, and aromas that just delight all of your senses. I didn’t even know what most things were, I just knew that everything was delicious and I had to savor each and every bite. Our favorite courses that really stood out included the banh mi, scallion naan, pan roasted quail, and hummingbird cake. Id also highly recommend the wine pairing which was a great choice to go with our courses! As if the food wasn’t good enough, this place has the best service I’ve ever experienced. They truly work as a team to make sure you are taken care of, it was actually insane how well they worked together. Big shout out to Kennedy who was amazing and answered all of our questions about the food/wines. The detail she provided and recommendations she made were 10/10, I was blown away by her knowledge and hospitality. To top everything off, we decided to dine here for an anniversary and we were greeted with complimentary champagne and a personalized note. As I said, this is really a dining experience instead of just another great meal. Give it a try!

The food at Rooster & Owl is extremely good. They change their menu seasonally and everything is delicious regardless of what’s on the menu. I would recommend Rooster & Owl for a party of 4 or fewer. They may want to reconsider their large party policy (5+). Service had some highs and lows with kinks to work out, but once they do, Rooster & Owl will be among the very best.
