Charming atmosphere and surprisingly well prepared and presented food. The airstream bar and seating is cozy and a quaint touch. We had the oysters, Cesar and beet salads, gnocchi, salmon, Cornish hens and cake. Everything was delicious. Personal and friendly service. We look forward to coming back!

I had long anticipated my return visit (2022) to this place, and it didn't disappoint. True, I was bummed my server from then was no longer there, but I met new ones in Kaisa, Declan and Mia, each eager to tend to my needs.

I got the open faced omelette with kale, pesto and squash, with a side of bacon. The eggs melted in my mouth, the bacon was just right, and the squash, succulent. My only regret was not being able to wash it down with a mimosa, as I was driving for work

We attempted to visit this place on Saturday 10/12. A man told us they were busy and would look for a table (for two). He did not look. He went and got food and drinks and THEN decided to tell us they were full and would be all day and would not take a name for a waiting list. No. Waiting. List. WOW. No apologies, no smile, just…we aren’t going even try to accommodate you and we are definitely not sorry about it.

Thank you for showing me where I should not waste my time or money. Never again.

I tried them several years ago and had a similar experience but decided to try them again. Spent $100 on what we thought was a good spread but left pretty disappointed. Won’t be coming back for dinner again.

This is a place we wish we had close to home.
We visited in early June and had a delicious experience. The whole place has a great vibe and delicious selections. We had their:
- Roasted carrots ?
- Simple Green Salad ?
- Salmon ?
This was a quick stop since we were on a road trip but we wish we could’ve visited again. This place will stay pinned on my maps for future reference in case we’re ever in the area gain. ? ?️ ?️

What an amazing explosion of taste and texture with beautiful, artistic plating. The buckwheat pancakes with berries and hazelnut are a standout. So is the foie gras toast with hazelnut spread and Marion berry jam. And then there are the cocktails.

I had dinner there for the first time last night and was completely blown away by it all. Every dish was beautiful to look at, and heaven to smell and taste. Good service, and not inexpensive, but worth every penny paid. I am looking forward to coming back for dinners and brunches in the very near future.

Tasty food, but Overpriced and small portions (I’m looking at you, ridiculous brisket!) and that fancy pour-over coffee just isn’t good.
Been here twice and I wouldn’t choose to go back.

If you are ever in Eugene, you gotta try Lion and Owl. This is my first time in this city and this was for sure a highlight. Every dish we had was delicious, every person we interacted with were high level customer service IQ folks and the ambiance was on point (just go and see).

So what would I recommend??
1- Banana bread. Even if you don’t like banana bread, get it and thank me later.
2- Chips and caviar. I believe it was trout eggs but they were smoked and legit tasted like smoked salmon. Maybe the surprise dish of the day.
3- Brisket and eggs. Souv vide and smoked and DELICIOUS. great choice for a mai brunch dish.

I could go on but I need to get back to my date. ?

Horrible food, way too much salt and overpriced for that matter. Plus, they will sneakily add your phone or email (e.g. if you make a reservation via email) to their spam list and keep sending you ads and marketing updates. I would never eat there again.

We had the lamb meatballs which were delicious, the cod cakes were good, the pork chop was excellent as was the brisket. I got the torte which was very decadent but my friend got the strawberry butter cake which was so delicious. Ambiance was nice, it was very clean and our server (Zoe) was very knowledgeable on the menu.

Yummy food! Miles and Jeremy were great! Everyone else was also amazing! The food was so good! Especially the Portobello Sandwich and the Butter cake were especially good! I really want to come back in the fall & winter to see what food you have then!

Vegetarian options: Portobello mushrooms and MANY salads. Probably others but I'm not sure

Parking: Street parking and I believe I saw a parking lot for Lion & Owl

Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs! & I believe the door was pretty wide. I can't say anything about the bathroom, but it's a very simple layout
