    My husband and I had a wonderful dinner at Red Owl Tavern while staying at the Kimpton Hotel Monaco. We shared the Carnivore's Feast, and it was every bit as delicious as it was unique. It was such a fun way to sample four different types of meat, and each one was flavorful and perfectly prepared. We also ordered the roasted potatoes, which were excellent, although the feast itself was so generous that we barely made a dent in them! The cocktails were well-crafted and complemented the meal nicely. The staff was friendly, attentive, and helped make the entire experience enjoyable. Overall, it was a fantastic evening, and we would happily dine here again.

    Never been and couldn’t be more pleased. Very small place but we sat in back and it was quiet (has outside seating but was too hot out). Food was delicious and everyone raved. Waiter was very attentive. Highly recommend!

    The staff was so friendly and welcoming, and made sure that even though I was late for my reservation, I had plenty of time to make it to the show. I had such a great experience.

    Had the Pierogis as an appetizer, and Bangers and Mash for the entree. Both were very good. Service was terrific. We sat outside to enjoy the weather, so of course we had to tolerate the traffic noise.
