The Early Owl Reviews
Could not get a server to get even coffee and water after being seated. Waited 15 minutes with no acknowledgment that we there, party of 5.
They were moderately busy at best.
We will not be back.
I recently had a very disappointing experience working for the unprofessional company, The Early Owl. I was employed there part-time for just one month, while I was looking for a full-time position of 30+ hours per week. To my shock, on my final paycheck, I found that they had deducted $40 for meal expenses, even though I had never been provided any meals during my time there. This unexpected and unauthorized deduction left me feeling taken advantage of and resentful towards the...read full review
I recently had a very disappointing experience working for the unprofessional company, The Early Owl. I was employed there part-time working 2 days roughly every 8 days for about a month, while I was looking for a full-time position of 30+ hours per week. Continuing to watch them hire more people.

The Early Owl is a charming restaurant with a unique atmosphere, providing a great place to eat. The rooftop bar offers a good vibe, though the music could be better. The menu is available after a brief wait, and the staff, including the fabulous Paige, is working to refine their service. Shante, a server, has been noted as awesome, being attentive and friendly. The food is a highlight, with sweet potato fries and the chicken salad wrap being particular standouts. Other popular dishes include the Chorizo and Carnitas, as well as the corned beef skillet and veggie skillet, both praised for their generous portions. The smash taco burgers are also amazing, and the salmon entree with wild rice and flash fried Brussel sprouts has received positive feedback. The upper deck and patio areas create a pleasant setting for diners and are accommodating for larger parties. The restaurant has an open, industrial vibe that suits larger groups well. While the restaurant may not fully cater to vegan diets, it does offer vegetarian options, which have been appreciated. However, it's essential to note that the tomato soup is not vegetarian due to the presence of chicken stock. The coffee and drinks are solid highlights, with a 1950s-inspired aesthetic. Overall, The Early Owl is a solid brunch spot worth visiting, with room for improvement in service and menu accuracy.
