The atmosphere of this place was really nice. The location itself was absolutely beautiful as well. We were able to experience 5 wines. I had lobster tacos. The tacos were over sauced. I couldn’t really taste the lobster itself. The shell I feel didn’t fit well with the meal. I tried the scallops and I had to give my compliments to the chef! They were so well seasoned and tender. Again this was a really nice place and I enjoyed it.

Lovely atmosphere to so in for a wine tasting or dinner. The staff was winning and accommodating talking and entering we got star we wanted and killed what e we had. Cute married couple that was adorable had their weekly date night next to us and loved it so much they said there were heading this place a regular. Bowie was yummy and salad was refreshing.

This was my first time here, lovely environment, live music, and a very nice bar. They offer their own “restaurant week” special which consists of a 3 course meal for $35. The food was fantastic!

Best service, vibe, wine and relaxing but fun energy. Restaurant week did salad, filet mignon and cranberry bread pudding w riseigling. For sure top five meals. Bread pudding rivals Germany I never finished a desert ever I could have licked the plate. For sure impressed.

This was our second stop last night, so just wine and dessert to cap off our celebration.
I can’t believe I have never been here before, but to be honest, my husband and I are not wine drinkers.
2 of us ordered a few glasses of wine and were very pleased (2 types of Riesling and an Ice Wine). The waitress was very helpful with steering them to ones they might like.
Dessert was split among the 5 of us: 1 bread pudding, 1 slice of peanut butter pie, 1 slice of Flourless Chocolate Cake, and 1 Creme Brulee.
This is seriously now my favorite place for dessert. There were more items we didn’t try, plus dinner entrees that sound amazing!
Wonderful service and a warm, inviting space to spend time hanging out and enjoying drinks and food. Cannot recommend this place more.

I had high hopes for Thirsty Owl, but my recent visit was nothing short of a disaster. As a former loyal customer, I was excited for restaurant week, but the experience left me extremely disappointed. We arrived around 2:20pm and were told we couldn’t be seated until 3pm, which was understandable without reservations. However, when we tried to order an appetizer at the bar while waiting with our wine, I was told the kitchen was so backed up that they couldn’t take any food orders at all. It’s baffling that a restaurant wouldn’t even allow guests to order an appetizer while waiting at the bar with drinks.
When we were finally seated at 3pm, we learned they were out of both the burger and the apple crisp, leaving us with only two options for mains and desserts. Already frustrated and hungry, we waited nearly an hour after we got there just to place any kind of food order. When the food finally arrived, the chicken was chewy and disappointing. I asked for extra ranch and was told, “we might be out of that.” After waiting another ten minutes and asking again, I was given barely a teaspoon of ranch.
Throughout the meal, our waitress never checked on us, never refilled our waters, and didn’t even ask how everything was when bringing the check. The only thing she made sure to ask was if we cashed out at the bar. The service was terrible, the food was subpar, and the overall experience was awful. I won’t be returning to Thirsty Owl, especially with so many other quality restaurants in the area that actually care about their customers and provide real service. Take care, Thirsty Owl—hopefully you can turn things around, but I won’t be back.

It was a good experience. Not the best but good. We were sat at the bar while we waited for our table. Waitress was nice, we thought the food was delicious. There are GF options on the menu but for the main course you have to ask. Honestly the experience wasn’t bad, food was good. The bread for the board I believe reminded me of pizza dough. Was very tasty, we’d go again!

Clean, top notch service, tasty dishes.
We were upgraded to private party room upstairs free of charge! All the wines for the wine tasting were very good.

Good wine, good food, friendly staff. Tastings are cheap and if you spend $30 on wine they’ll refund you the money for the tasting! They have seating at the wine bar or outside on a covered porch and they serve lunch. Ive only gotten the cheese/meat board but I hear the lunch is really good. They’ll even occasionally have live music which is also pleasant.
Heads up though, there is very limited parking and you might need to park on the street nearby

Mark, the chef, was our server and he was amazing! Helped make great suggestions, had great conversations, and made sure we were 100% satisfied! The food was incredible! The halibut was so crispy, buttery, and juicy!
