Crystal is the best chef in Eugene and Kirsten has the best wine palette. Together they are unstoppable. You will not be disappointed ordering anything from the menu and since it's always changing there are always amazing things to try! I do not go out often but when I do I always come here or go next door to Lemon & Olive. 10/10

Eaten here twice, truly excellent food and a wine list that covers all my bases. Smoked potato is a truly unique and amazingly delicious dish. Must visit if you're in Eugene.

Really great food!! I loved the atmosphere and how attentive the staff. There's a variety of drinks. Everyone was super friendly and was extremely attentive, the burger and fries were delicious, my son loved the pancakes and grapefruit juice.Kid-friendliness: My son loved the pancakes and everyone kept making him laugh. Super friendly atmosphere.

Just an incredible experience! The food is truly sublime. I can not recommend it enough.
If you're ever in Eugene, Oregon, there is a way to get amazing food. Just head to Lion & Owl. We met some friends for drinks and an excellent meal. From fresh northwest oysters, to delicious salads with creative flavor combinations, to beef cheeks with a winter squash side, we were thrilled with every offering.The atmosphere was kinda weird, which, if you call Eugene home, is probably what you were raised on. For outsiders, it took some getting used to.

Food and drinks are always great, ambience is adorable, certain staff are always reliably condescending and rude. My final straw was a host who was dramatically put out by the idea of having to clean a table to sit my party as if it was our fault that there weren’t tables available. From here on out I’ll only do takeout.

This place is amazing. Art and flavor blend perfectly, and the atmosphere is well-thought out, cozy, yet open. The food is so unique and overly-delicious. Our server MJ was the absolute best and made our experience so fun. Thanks MJ! New favorite spot of ours, definitely will be back!
While the food and service here are justifiably legendary what I want to comment on is what, in my experience, is the most thoughtfully and carefully crafted wine list I can recall. Instead of being extensive and pretentious it's thorough, matches the cuisine beautifully, and offers wines that span the usual gamut of local and international favorites as well as very special wines rarely seen on restaurant menus. Bravo!

Went there for brunch on a weekday. Reservation service: easy to use, no fee, loved the automatc reminder.Service: waitstaff was attentive, timely, and some of the best I have experienced.Food: I had the open faced omelet- flavors were good and while I am not sure what I was expecting, this wasn't quite it. It was more like scrambled eggs with some neatly arranged potatoes/cheese/etc. on top. I should have expected that, I guess.My daughter was talking about the Lion and Owl burger for days- it was the best she has had in a while. It was juicy and the perfect toppings and flavors. The fries were perfect- thick cut and delicately fried to perfection.We shared a slice of the warm butter cake w/apples. That was better than I expected and I highly recommend sharing a slice - it is generous.Overall: we enjoyed trying Lion & Owl and will return to try other menu items and a repeat order on the burger & fries.

I was Christmas shopping and I wandered into this place. It is a bit nicer of a place than I would normally go but I decided to give it a try and I’m glad I did! The service was excellent and the food was very good. It was a little pricey but still well worth it. I ordered the burger and fries and I must say the burger has to be the my favorite in town. I hope to find myself back here again soon!
Fancy feeling place
