    Great food, everything was delicious. We live close by and have been here a couple of times, love that they have a community table for walk ins since reservations are hard to get. I have a cough and jokingly asked if they could make me a hot toddy. After initially saying no, they procured the ingredients and surprised me with one, which I thought was super extra!

    We used to be huge fans of Owen & Engine & can see now why this is becoming a local favorite.The place is beautifully lit and feels welcoming. Tuna tartare was very fresh as well as their specialty dish Ossobucco veal shank. Blood orange margaritas were definitely the hit of the evening. Christian & Lupe definitely made us feel part of their own family
