    The South of the border bowl.
    Jim C.

    The Owl Spirit Cafe is so Port Townsend, a comfortable ambiance, eclectic decor and healthy and tasty food. I enjoyed the Bahn-Mi sandwich which was their very flavorful and juicy version using roasted pork belly. It was the kind of sandwich that once you pick it up you do not put it down. Our service was very good and a really nice meal.

    Had a great late lunch at Owl Spirit Cafe after a morning of whale watching. The food was fresh and delicious and the bohemian feel to the place was nice. Friendly service.

    Pork Belly Bahn Mi Sandwich. So good.

    Nice little cozy cafe with a variety of food ( gluten free as well) that you can try. Service is excellent. Prompt and friendly. Price is a bit high. But quality of food well worth it.

    Taco Salad

    Unfortunately, I did not enjoy the food here. I got a taco salad to go and it was just disproportionately filled with beans and corn. I think that the price for the food is again, disproportionately expensive and the food was just bland and undesirable. It tastes as if they just opened a can of black beans, rinsed it under water, and plopped it onto lettuce. Unfortunately, I would not return to this establishment.

    Taco salad with beef
    Heidi C.

    Very generous portion of taco salad with beef! Not pictured are the bag of tortilla chips. I think this is big enough that it can be shared between 2 people or possibly saved as leftovers. For $20, this had me full way past dinner. Regardless, this is a cute place to stop by for a lunch or dinner date with very cool and cozy art. The desserts at the counter are also really yummy, especially the brownie with miso sauce! Don't get caught red handed eating dessert while waiting for pick up like we did. Shout out to the cashier who had a good laugh at that lol. You can also order ahead of time on the website to save some time for pick up!

    One half of the Bahn Mi sandwich.

    What a great find! This is a wonderful little restaurant just off Water St. It is small but has a full menu and decent beer selection. We're vegan and went with the Bahn Mi sandwich which as simply fantastic. Excellent bread, spicy vegan mayo and tasty mushrooms. We also had the potato and asparagus soup which was creamy and filling. Good service (a bit slow when they're busy) and a friendly and relaxed environment. Really enjoyed it each time we came here.

    Adorable dining area

    Do they exhibit art? Who?

    Yes! There is always art on display on the walls and for sale. The artists change pretty regularly, local artists mostly.

    Sounds perfect, but would there be room for 7-8 friends to all sit together (celebrating a birthday dinner)?

    You'd have to move tables around but bc it's so small they're very communicative, the biggest table seats 6

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by a friendly server and immediately impressed by the beautiful decor. There's also a bar area off to the right if you're looking to enjoy a drink. After being seated, we had time to look over the menu and decided on the fish and chips and the Northwest Burger. The burger name alone caught our attention, and we had to try it! The food was delicious and freshly made. Both dishes were full of flavor, and the quality really stood out. Combined with the fantastic service and inviting atmosphere, it made for a great dining experience. A bonus for pet owners the restaurant is dog-friendly if you're bringing your furry friend along. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating area. We had a wonderful experience and would definitely come back again!

Was a nice place to take a break and grab some sustenance.

The menus -which change seasonally- has something for everyone. Fish OF COURSE, burgers & sammies, salads, pasta, a famous and much loved clam chowder and a full bar. Cozy, older crowd who come for their favorites and know what they like. The waitstaff are seasoned veterans who keep everything flowing smoothly from start to finish. My husband had his very favorite salad, an "Ahi Tuna Nicoise" ($32): Thai basil encrusted yellow fin tuna, hearts of romaine, hard-boiled egg, grilled asparagus, sesame gochugaru, Korean chili fingerling potatoes, served with Chinese mustard vinaigrette. I had the "Tide & Tail" Sandwich ($22): a panko fried Bering Sea cod filet with wild Oregon Bay shrimp, sharp white cheddar cheese, Red Dog Farms organic mixed greens, preserved lemon-pepper aioli served on a Crusty Crumb Bakery Focaccia, with a choice of side. I chose a small house salad. It was all fantastic! Couldn't have asked for anything more. Will definitely come back on our next road trip. Maybe it'll be less windy and we can eat on the outside patio next time. Fantastic find!!!

That's pretty much what we got here though not overwhelmingly good. First I'll say that other recent reviews pointing out differences in this cuisine vs traditional Mexican American or authentic Mexican dining and the very nice staff are not far off. Of course it's all personal taste and expectations. So here we were only moderately pleased with the food and drinks but it was a marvelous place to spend a little time near the water in nice outside tables with light blankets folded over the backs of seats for chilly times on the deck. The margaritas (hers spicy and mine standard) were good enough though served in a chimney glass which is different. The tacos we ordered were pretty good though not the best ever by any means. The hot sauce was "house made habanero " I guess in generic bottles after asking for Cholula. It was ok but not my preferred sauce. And the chips and salsa I asked if they were included and brought to the table but later found that they charged us for them???? Not a fan of that from an expense and a transparency standpoint!! The chips are house made and not uniformly made with thick chewy parts and a lot of crumbs. House made salsa reminded me of a house made version of jarred salsa. The staff was very nice and accommodating and two cute sisters dominate the service scene which was fun to watch. So I don't know that we will go again but glad we tried it. Wish I could give this a better review but it was just OK.
