    My wife and I came in for an appetizer and a drink. We were welcomed with a warm smile.. The wine was delicious. And the appetizer mouthwatering. I've been coming here for years. This place is consistently great and seems to only get better. Thank you.

    Was looking for a local spot for dinner and found this on Yelp. Charming little restaurant even though they're undergoing construction. Despite not having a res, we were seated quickly. Shout out to our server, Emily, who was super friendly and helpful with their menu. We advised that we were mildly in a rush and she took care of us. They started us off with an amuse (Italian meats on crostinis). They were yummy! We ordered the Brussel sprouts for app and the Australian wagyu with truffle fries for dinner. Wow! I am so impressed with how tender and juicy the meat was. The seasoning was just right. We got a little side of demi glace to compliment the steak. All were so good! Their menu is updated for the season so I'm looking forward to checking out other entrees at my next visit!

    I've lived in the area for over two decades, and Friday night was our first visit to Owen's. The only disappointment was realizing we waited this long to try it--everything was phenomenal. The restaurant is a cozy space with an elegant, rustic charm and beautiful lighting that sets the mood perfectly. From the moment we arrived, everyone was welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate. The last time I was this thoroughly satisfied by a meal was in Europe. The food is simple yet elegant, impeccably high-quality, and bursting with flavor. I have never seen my husband enjoy every bite of a meal the way he did at Owen's. It was a truly memorable dining experience, and we can't wait to return.

    So cool! Definitely supposed to be classy so expect classy prices. But WORTH IIIITT!!

    We made a reservation for 4 people on a Saturday just in case but it wasn't too busy at 5:30. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is quaint and simple.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server was very attentive. I really enjoyed the food presentation. Definitely fancier than what we're used to. Think like a nice wedding but the food was actually good. I had the stew with mash and my husband had steak medallions with truffle fries. His steaks were perfectly tender. My stew was very flavorful and hearty. The brown, butter mashed potatoes were so good. We had a lemon, coconut cheesecake to finish that didn't disappoint. One suggestion, check their website for an updated menu. Don't go by the one in here. That was my mistake. Apparently it changes every season.

    We went for our anniversary. I wish they would've asked if it was a special occasion but they didnt. The food was good, bartender was awesome and made awesome drinks. If anything I may come back for drinks only one day. We did think the dmfood was good, especially the deviled eggs. My husband really liked the salmon.

    A friend of ours recommended this place for a date night. We were really impressed honestly! The food was really good. I did the 10 oz filet with fries and my husband did the wagyu with the truffle fries. I've honestly never had fries with my steak and wasn't sure what to expect but it was a really good pairing. We each added asparagus for a vegetable side. For appetizers we did the loaf of bread and the beef tartar. The loaf of bread was warm and had really good fluffy butter. The beef tartar was also excellent. The Gigi's cocktail and old fashioned were very yummy. We had two New York cheesecakes for dinner and they tasted very very good. We were really impressed overall with the service, and the energy. We were constantly checked on and it was a great vibe. Definitely plan on returning!

    You definitely must stop by when you're in the area. I had the best experience at Owen's Bistro. I celebrated my 1 year anniversary here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a friendly environment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Their staff is great. Special thanks to our waitress Emily for her recommendations. The food was amazing, the Tomahawk steak was cooked to our liking. We will definitely visit again soon. We also received a lovely handwritten card congratulating us :)

    Wifey wanted to come here last minute so we gave it a shot. The service was good and the ambiance was great. It was in a weird part of Chino, a cute little area, I'm not sure what to call it. It was a bit overpriced, but the food was pretty good. We had a root beer and a wine. We ordered Steak Frites and Boeuf Bourguignon- a beef stew type item with mashed potatoes. A lot of meat and gravy, but could have been some more mashed potatoes. The food was cooked well with good seasonings. Most people sat outside on the patio area not inside. Miguel was good and attentive. The only thing was that when the electronic payment system came it had the tip at 20%. I thought I choose the tip amount based on service and food quality. Overall it was a good experience. I will come back when I want to spend $150-200 for dinner

    A great place for a romantic dinner. We've never had anything less than delicious and there is a full bar a good wine list. The menu changes seasonally and there are wine dinners and entertainment frequently scheduled.

    Amazing place to go. Place is so cozy and friendly staff. The owner James is top notch. Denise is a pearl. She knows what's your palette is craving for. Thanks again!!!

    Starters. Brie cheese with toast sourdough

    First let's start with saying this place is definitely worth every penny. Hidden Gem [[HIGHLIGHT]]Husband and I had a delicious romantic dinner and the live jazz band was the cherry on top![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you're looking for a chill and good place to enjoy a delicious meal. I totally recommend this place. Dianne our server was 10/10 and provided great customer service. We will back more often. Here's a few pics of our meals.

(Not sure if he's the manager now or a different person, but every server here is polite and efficient).

Our usual order is 1lb of shrimp and 1lb of mussels, and we've always been happy with it. This time, we decided to try the Combo #2 because we wanted to add crab legs. We ordered three combo bags, each with shrimp, mussels, and crab legs. Unfortunately, it didn't feel like there was anywhere close to 1lb each of shrimp and mussels in the bags. I can't prove it, so I can only share our experience, but it honestly felt like there were fewer than 15 shrimp in the bag. For the first time ever, we finished our meal and were still hungry afterward. Based on this experience, I wouldn't recommend ordering the combo bag. Not only did it seem like there was significantly less food, but with all the ingredients piled together, some items ended up overcooked. We were really disappointed because we've had consistently good experiences with multiple locations here over the years. Hopefully this was just an off day, but we'll be sticking with ordering the seafood separately next time.

The gumbo was easily the star of the meal. The sauce itself was incredibly rich, deeply savory, and immediately reminded me of the food I've had in New Orleans. I honestly don't have an elaborate critique of it. It was simply delicious. My only thought was that I wanted even more seafood in every spoonful, so next time I'm adding extra crab or shrimp. I wasn't sure what to expect from the frog legs, but they ended up being one of my favorite dishes. The batter was light and crispy, while the meat was delicate and mild, somewhere between chicken and fish, without much gaminess. I could have easily eaten an entire plate of them. We finished the meal with the croissant beignets and bread pudding. The beignets were crisp, dusted with powdered sugar, and served with a berry purée that balanced the sweetness nicely. As good as they were, the bread pudding blew them away for me. The warm bread pudding with bourbon sauce, ice cream, and strawberries was easily my favorite dessert of the night. Our waiter also overheard that it was my birthday and surprised me with complimentary ice cream, which was a thoughtful touch. Probably the best compliment I can give The Quarter is this. I'm willing to drive an hour to Claremont on a Saturday night, hunt for parking, and deal with the crowds of college kids just to come back for another bowl of that gumbo.
