   The food was great and the service was also. A good variety on the menu and the drinks were good too. This is a great find in a small town. We have been here several times and we have never been disappointed. I would highly recommend it.

   The decor and ambiance were excellent. The food was not so much. The fried shrimp were exceedingly over salted and detracted from the overall meal. When ordering anything, ask the kitchen to go easy on the salt and brine.

   The food was delicious. I had the fish tacos for my main dish. I have to say they were the best ones I’ve ever had.

   Sat outside for the Barkus Parade and Kelly was our server. She was great, the food and wine were exceptional and we had a great time. See you again next year!

   My husband & I went to the owl cafe for a post Valentine’s Day dinner. We have been in the past & enjoyed the crab cakes. Unfortunately they were not very good this time. They were covered in a gross thick yellow sauce. So much so that I could barely eat it. Then I ordered a steak for my entree & asked for everything to come plated so none of the food items were touching each other. My entire plate came out covered in the same yellow sauce as the crab cakes. I had to send my food back in order to eat it. By the time I received my meal my husband’s food was cold.

   Staff needs training, hostess seemed clueless & tried to give us plastic ware for dinner. Said kitchen was backed up.
