The lighting inside was a bit dark, but there were plenty of tables and seemed clean. Our order took a while to prepare. It seemed like they had a lot of mobile orders. We ended up waiting around 15-20 minutes for 3 bowls, and they did end up forgetting our hot sauces. We could have added them to our bowls ourselves since they have a station with hot sauce bottles, but we didn't notice until we were in the car. The bowls themselves were simple, had fresh ingredients, and was filling. This place seems like a slightly less sodium-heavy alternative to Chipotle for around the same price.

I like that this is a healthy fast option. It's definitely a whole food, you can recognize and name every ingredient. With all the synthetic and petroleum based additives going into food these days, it's good to have safe and healthy options. My favorite part is the Yumm sauce. This stuff is so delicious it should be classified as a narcotic. I doubled checked the barcode using my Yuka app and sure enough, it rates clean of additives. All this stuff is natural actual food, and they made it taste good! Imagine, healthy food that actually tastes good, especially the vegan version without any meat added. Walking in, the store feels very clean and comfortable. At first I noticed the array of do-it-yourself kiosks. I prefer to deal with humans, so I walk directly to the counter and happily enough, there is a smiling face asking if she can help me. I look up and there it is all laid out on the menu board. In no time I had it figured, ordered and paid for with the warm human interaction as opposed to the cold flat screen. This store is well lit with plenty of natural light coming through the large windows. This yumm sauce is amazing in its flavor. I think I have a new addiction for a while.

There were a lot of issues with the order one of the issues was that the salad dressing was literally hot when it arrived. The steak was missing etc. I was contacted by the owner who apologized and sent me a full refund. I will be trying this restaurant again but maybe in person instead of delivery. I feel very grateful that someone listened and gave us a refund. Um. What. First time ordering from here and last time. Why would this be $85?. Paid extra for steak AND for extra serving of steak on all 3 orders and got a small serving of steak on 2 orders and chicken on the other one, definitely not extra. Ok. The dressing was hot. Paid for 3 extra servings of potatos on one order and got what looks to be a regular serving. Worried we might get sick coz if the order is this off ..who knows. Hope not. Wanted to like it!!! The chicken tasted ok. The fruit cups were good except i paid for extra fruit and well .. nothing looks like the photos at all. My family is throwing a fit and won't even eat it. Ugh.

The hostess is attentive and promptly replenished the table salsa once. The server asked for my lunch order at the right time. Just as I took a bite of chips, jajaja. I saw the employees wiping down tables and menus throughout my stay. The food was good, wish I would've ordered something other than the lunch burrito asada. The meat was sweet like sugar not like mole. But I didn't order a mole burrito. I think the prices are great, even outside of the specials. Also, I wasn't offered homemade hot sauces, so that is unfortunate since I like flavor and also heat. In the past I've had the skirt steak plate and the shrimp fajitas. The flavors there were superb. I'd definitely recommend this place.

There are restaurants that seduce you with promise, and others that test your patience before…read morerevealing their intent. Lion & Owl, on this particular morning, proved to be both--a place of evident talent, yet uneven discipline, where flashes of brilliance are offset by lapses that no serious kitchen should permit. Let us begin with the triumph. The buckwheat pancakes arrive not merely as breakfast, but as a composition. A stack of admirable loft and structure--evidence of a properly developed batter, handled with restraint and precision. The crumb is airy yet resilient, each bite yielding gently before dissolving into a delicate nuttiness inherent to buckwheat. A caramelized banana sauce pools generously, glossy and fragrant, its sweetness tempered by the cultured tang of crème fraîche. Toasted coconut chips scatter across the top like crisp punctuation, lending both aroma and texture. This is cooking that understands balance--sweetness checked by acidity, softness lifted by crunch, comfort elevated by technique. It is, quite simply, a five out of five dish. The kitchen, here, remembers what it means to nourish and delight. And then--alas--we encounter its counterpoint. The mushroom brioche toast, in conception, should be a study in harmony: buttery bread, earthy fungi, silken eggs, fresh greens. Yet the execution falters at its very foundation. The brioche--so essential, so central--is pushed past the threshold of caramelization into bitterness. In a bread so rich with butter and sugar, precision is everything; overcook it, and the entire structure collapses under a shadow of char. The garnish, too, feels careless--large stems of greenery draped without intention, rather than composed with purpose. It is a dish that looks promising from a distance but betrays its flaws upon inspection. A two out of five--a failure not of imagination, but of discipline. The brie and truffle macaron arrives as an afterthought--set aside, unannounced, uncentered, as though it were a spare utensil rather than a composed pastry. Presentation matters. It signals care. Here, there is none. And the macaron itself? A confection that should whisper with delicacy instead resists with age. The shell is hardened, the interior overly chewy--signs of time having passed unkindly. The flavor is confused: a sweet, almost vanilla shell encasing a mild, savory filling of whipped brie and timid truffle. Neither side asserts itself; neither yields to the other. It is neither dessert nor savory course, but a muddled compromise. A two out of five, and left unfinished--a silent verdict more damning than words. The mimosa, I am told, is bright and pleasing, though presented without flourish--a small omission, but telling in a restaurant aspiring to polish. A four out of five, competent yet unadorned. The pour-over coffee reveals a lighter roast profile: bright acidity at the fore, a nutty mid-palate, a gently lingering finish. It is, as you observed, "hipster coffee"--intentionally expressive, though perhaps too acidic for a more classical palate. On flavor alone, a three out of five. Yet the experience is marred by a most unforgivable intrusion: a hair in the initial cup. Such a thing should never reach a guest. Ever. And beyond the plate--there is service. Dishes arriving out of sequence. Eggs meant for one guest appearing with another's delayed entrée. A table divided, one diner finished while the other waits. Explanations that do not align with reality. Items placed without acknowledgment or intention. These are not minor stumbles; they are fractures in the very architecture of hospitality. The Verdict Lion & Owl is a restaurant caught between what it is capable of and what it consistently delivers. There is real talent in this kitchen--evident in the pancakes, in the conceptual ambition of the menu, in flashes of thoughtful composition. But talent without rigor is unreliable. And hospitality without coordination is hollow. For every moment of genuine pleasure, there is another of carelessness--overcooked bread, stale pastry, inattentive plating, lapses in cleanliness, and disjointed service. In the end, one must judge the whole, not the highlights. Overall score: 2 out of 5. A restaurant with promise--undeniably--but one that must remember that excellence is not achieved in moments. It is achieved in consistency, in care, and in respect for the guest at every stage of the meal. Until then, Lion & Owl remains... a place that almost is.

Really great fresh food with some interesting combinations. We came here on a whim (no…read morereservations) while visiting my wife's niece at UofO at around noon on a Saturday. Busy but they had a table for us. Very nice decor, rotating menu. We had the buckwheat pancakes with caramelized bananas, dates, and pineapple syrup which was sweet but not overly so since the pancakes underneath were not touched by the syrup ended up being a really nice balance. Bacon was like a cross between pork belly and bacon (very thick) but really tasty. Breakfast Sando was good with in-house ground pork and a nice aioli. We also tried the savory macarons (Brie and truffle) which are delicious. Creamy and a tad sweet. Not too much truffle. Coffee was a bright tangy pour over-not my favorite type but some people really like that style. Oh, and we had a blood orange mimosa which was really good Overall an excellent experience! Definitely going to again when we are in town!

Beer clean glassware! Yes, that is my lead-in title because it's so crazy rare to get truly beer…read moreclean glassware that I talked about it to the couple beside me (Pete and Roxanne who I got to meet were awesome btw). It's less than 1% of the places I visit that are true beer clean glassware astute. There are many that do a good job, but when you see the lacing on glassware that I saw tonight, you know you're in rarified air. FOOD: ok I know most people don't need out over glassware the way I do so let's discuss the food - I went more unique with a lamb sausage and a boar sausage, plus my new friends next to me shared their fries. My opinion? Awesome. Well executed sausage, the fries were really good - crisp on the outside and still perfect potato texture inside while being hot with a fry sauce side that perfectly complemented Service was great, met regulars, had tasty food - but the whale in this adventure was the care for the glassware. This is special - the owner truly cares about your experience when they nail the small details a lot of folks miss. I didn't miss this detail because it's massive in the nuance on your beer but takes special care and pride to get right. Bangers takes pride in giving you a beer in a properly maintained glass, and that's uniquely special. Applause to Bangers for attention to detail!

The food was good, but the pricing felt a bit steep. $17 dollars for a basic Seattle dog and fries feel a little high for counter service. That said, the overall vibe makes up for it.

Great place to grab a drink and hang out, just be prepared for slightly higher food prices.
