My boyfriend and I were recommended this gem from a local in Schroon Lake and it did not disappoint.
Our server Kayla was a sweetheart and made us feel so warm and welcome. The owner was also very lovely as we arrived.
The food is fresh and locally sourced and hats off to the chef. We shared the salmon special, the beet salad and the mussels.
They had a live band playing and it was my birthday dinner. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
Highly recommend this place! Thanks for the hospitality.

What a wonderful meal! Enjoying our first trip to the cabin - in the Autumn - to experience colors, we made reservations at The Owl at Twilight. We began with appetizers of roasted cauliflower with blue cheese, pork belly on sweet potato puree, and a beet salad - all amazing! Entrees were superb, as was the Malbec from Mendoza, Argentina. We enjoyed panko encrusted salmon on cauliflower rice, beef tips, and chicken saltimbocca. We boxed up half of the huge portions so we could have room for bread pudding, flourless chocolate cake and cheesecake. Truly, the best meal we have had in the Adirondacks and we have been coming to Minerva for decades! For my full balanced review, I will add that the live keyboard was lovely but the singing was very loud for a dinner discussion - the microphone was not necessary in the cozy dining room. Looking forward to our take home leftovers tonight. We will definitely be back!

Such a hidden gem up in the Adirondacks. We always enjoy our visits AND last go round we were treated to a local jazz band! Limited menu and seating so reservations are highly suggested!

This restaurant is located on a rural road located next to a trucking business, as a result somewhat difficult to locate (even using Waze). The food was quite good, and the chef deserves kudos for that! Here comes the bad. They had entertainment, an old fashion corny lounge singer and his keyboard guy. The restaurant is small, but this guy had his volume turned up so high that my husband and I could not hear each other talk and had difficulty hearing the waitress. It made the evening hard to take. As a result, we would not return to this establishment in spite of the good food.

Great dining in Olmsteadville. Food is on point. Daily catch was excellent and portion was generous. Pork Oso Boco is always good. Relaxed atmosphere

Always a great experience and delicious meal at The Owl! We love everything about this restaurant: the ambience, the friendliness of the staff, and there's always regular entertainment and drink specials! The food is always outstanding, fresh, (veggies and herbs grown right in the garden out back) and portions plentiful. My all time favorite drink is the Mint Mojito. The porch is our favorite place to sit, with blankets for the chillier Adirondack nights! But the main dining room is great as well, especially on the Jazz nights, which we all enjoyed recently. We'll see you soon, Owl at Twilight!

Everything was GREAT, and we've come to expect there!! And Gary Hempsey's set was an absolute joy, as well!! 5 *****
The chicken was under cooked and the home made ice cream tasted like a tablespoon of salt was poured into each scoop. Our bread basket arrived after our meals and it was just a baguette cut into pieces for $10. Our waitress was very professional, kind and helpful.
