The duck dish was over cooked and the arepa was extremely hard to eat as the outer crust was uneatable. The sauce was the only highlight of the dish. Braised greens were all one note and mushy. The Marichou was under seasoned and very bland.
My friend and I had an incredible time at Owamni. My compliments to the chef. Truly one of a kind experience. The food was outstanding from start to finish ( presentation, flavor profile, texture, all natural and full of character). There’s not a place that’s more unique than Owamni in Minnesota, in my opinion . I highly recommend this establishment, and I wish you prosperity and success.
What an amazing experience start to finish. We have been wanting to try this restaurant for a long time and it happened to work this weekend. If we could’ve ordered one of everything on the menu we would have. The food was cooked to perfection and the service was excellent. Can’t wait to come back.
