First time and will definitely be back. Everything was delicious. Great service. We were celebrating a birthday and they delivered the brunch meal with. A single candle stuck in a piece of potato. It was very charming. Everyone raced about their choices: French toast, potatoes, local soupy, eggs, chowder, johnny cakes, panna cotta, and the ben-yays. I can't wait to go back.

Every one of the six female diners had all good things to say about the food, price and especially the server (Elias?) and the service. There was a welcome flexibility with the menu too. We enjoyed a leisurely lunch and lingered for "old times sake" and were not hurried out. The menu presented a diverse selection and the frittata won the prize! Very relaxing and roomy accommodations too. Going back again for sure.

Food and service was outstanding. The staff are warm, welcoming, and friendly. The ambiance there is beautiful along side the river with soft warm lighting, small fireplace, local artwork, and peaceful atmosphere with a clean, simple, cultural, and natural look. The menu has a creative and eclectic cuisine. Highly recommended.

There were so many options on the menu I wanted to eat. The three of us each ordered different items and each were deliciously satisfying. And the sweets, again three different selections and all so good. We will definitely be returning weekly. Can’t wait to bring other friends to Owl and Dove.
