This is one of those rare places where everything you get is incredibly flavorful. The salmon I had here is the best I’ve ever had in my entire life.
Also, the service was fantastic too. The hostess was very kind and our server was charismatic, accommodating, and nice. I highly recommend this place it was delicious and beautiful. If I am ever back in down, I’ll certainly return here.

Had a wonderful meal for what started out as 11 people and grew to 15. The waitstaff easily accommodated the increase in our party with ease. Had the chips and dip, zucchini bread and foie toast to start with. We also had the Cesar salad which was very tasty and breakfast sando. The eggs were very fluffy. Also had a bite of the Porto with bacon which I would get next time, the bacon was amazing. Some had coffee which was a pour over, a style that I do at home. Everyone in our party enjoyed the meal.

IMO, beat place to eat in Eugene. Hands down. Have never seen the same menu twice, seasonal offerings made to perfection. Highly recommend dining family style so that everyone can try everything brought to the table. Beautiful plating, excellent service can’t say enough good things.

As an out-of-town visitor, I consulted online resources to identify suitable lunch establishments and was drawn to this restaurant based on its advertised award-winning chef. I visited with my husband and a close friend. I ordered the pancakes, which were served with a mint syrup that unfortunately resembled cough medicine. My husband and friend both chose hamburgers, which were of average quality, while the accompanying fries were satisfactory. Based on this experience, I do not anticipate returning to this establishment.

We had the seasonal pancakes which were very good. However the Menemen was pretty small for $25 and not that great. The crispy potatoes were fine but a small portion for $7. Over all the meal was decent but over priced for the portions.

We arrived shortly before closing, and we were still welcomed. The food, the decor, and the atmosphere was superb. Fresh, local ingredients are combined in surprisingly creative and delicious ways. We started with a Last Word Sour, and it was one of best cocktails I have ever had. The burrata, heirloom tomato, and nasturtium tartine was exponentially more flavorful than we imagined, as was every other dish that followed. The dish with panisse was delicious and well-balanced, the tomato sauce on the rigatoni was so bright and fresh, and the salmon was cooked to perfection. We finished our meal with a lemon semi-freddo, and it was combined with a corn-based crumble that was shockingly delicious. Thank you, Lion & Owl for a memorable meal!! 10/10!!

Every time we dine here the service is amazing and the food is outstanding. Their wine list is fun and cocktails are perfect compliments to the menu. Can’t wait to come back
I will never eat here because of what they did in 2020-2023. Forcing people to conform to an untested, and as it turned out, dangerous lie. I'm sure they just were not aware enough to know better, but regardless, I haven't been back since that time they asked for proof of the jab or you couldn't dine in, and I will never go back. I don't support fascism.

We just left the restaurant. We were told these were shareable plates and discovered that they were not. The salads and side dishes are barely enough for one, and the entree dishes were sorely undersized for the money spent. Don’t advertise a New York Strip Steak and serve a $35 end piece which is 1/3 of a steak. We spent a CONSIDERABLE amount of money for a meal, that was delicious, but sorely lacking in quantity for the price. Unfortunately, we will not be back. This is NOT a family style menu.

This place is incredible. Some of the portions can be small, but everything is designed to share. The flavors are wonderful. The menu changes often to provide the freshest ingredients. We took a little long to leave (catching up with family), and the manager offered to buy us each a drink to move outside to seat other reservations. This is our go-to place when we feel like truly treating ourselves. Service is wonderful even though it is always busy.
