    I wanted a salad for dinner and this place peaked my interest. Very good choice on my part. The menu is big and the selection is plentiful and the prices are very fair. I have never had sumac before and the gal taking the order got me a sample to try. It was uniquely tasty so I ordered the kale sumac salad. Very good choice on my part. It was delicious! I also ordered the Bollywood bowl because I just love Indian yellow curry. That was also a very good choice on my part. As much as I wanted to order the massive cookies, I just didn't have any room. To summarize, make a very good choice on YOUR part and come try this restaurant. Parking is provided by lot. Indoor seating. Casual. Great service.

    Very good healthy food! The Samac bowl was delicious, it has: kale, spinach, quinoa, pear, cauliflower, feta cheese, cranberries and chickpeas. Also got the peach berry smoothie which was also really good. Nice little area inside today plenty of seating

    Kale Caesar Salad

    I would definitely get it again! The salad comes with chickpeas and nutritional yeast in top, which was a good hint of flavor!!

    Popped in for a quick bite on a Tuesday evening. The burrito was a little small for me so I was really glad to get the chips n dips. They had really great different flavor. You just have to try them yourself!Granted the burrito said it was mini. It was so good. Can't wait to go back.

    Laughing planet has something for everyone. Wether you are gluten free, vegan, vegetarian, or none of that you will find something you like. They have a lot of Mexican inspired food. Tacos, burritos, appetizers, and more. They also have bowls and salads. We got the Bollywood bowl and a smoothie. The bowl had rice, broccoli, sweet potatoes, chicken, and more. It was super nutritious and filling. You will feel good after eating here.

    Beautiful lighting. Can all restaurants please have lighting this thoughtful? Thx. I got a tofu Autumn bento and it was a delightful pile of perfectly seasoned vegetables over rice with an amazing sesame miso dressing. It was everything I needed in that moment and I loved it from start to finish. I wish there was a Laughing Planet where I live, but alas. There is not.

    Lion and Owl - Excellent espresso

    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!

This was the first time I was asked if I wanted my Chimay in a tulip glass. Of course I do, that's the way it is traditionally served. Next I decided to try their burger. I don't even get a choice as to the degree of doneness that I would like my burger. Well done equals dry and flavorless. The pretzel bun the burger was on was extremely chewy as if it had been microwaved. I opted for cheddar cheese, which brought the price of my burger meal to over $20 for a slightly below mediocre burger. Typical lettuce, tomato, pickle and small slice of onion as a topping. I opted for seasoned fries as the side and they were mediocre as well. Still searching for a truly good burger that is worthy of a $20 price point.

They were able to seat our party of of nine, including toddler, fairly easily though we did need to call because nine is 'overbooked'. Thanks for getting us in, Gordon! The menu is not extensive but everyone found something that suited them well. I picked the burger, and it was excellent. Kudos to the chef for getting it fully well done; oftentimes I order a burger this way and it comes out with some pink on it. The bacon was also cooked through, another item that usually comes half cooked or less. It was accompanied with fries and I was really pleased with my choice. Some of the others got the short rib, salmon, and steak and everyone was happy with the meal. I decided to get an alcoholic beverage and was torn between the Starry Night and the Oregon Mule. I don't usually like a mule, but this one had marionberry vodka and I'm a sucker for just about anything with marionberry flavor so I went for it. I was surprised how much I liked this drink, because ginger beer usually is far too overpowering and here it was well balanced with the rest of the drink. I would order this again, and probably liked it better than the bit of the Starry Night I tasted from my sister. They also have seasonal drinks and lots of beers and wines to choose from. It's in the Gordon Hotel, so it's hard to miss (except I did, because for some reason I didn't make the connection that the Gordon Tavern was of course the restaurant at the Gordon Hotel). There's parking across the street that I believe is free for up to three hours.
