Steak Sandwich
Deb R.

My friend & I tried Sprout Kitchen for the first time today. I was pleasantly surprised! My friend had the KimiTurkey sandwich and said the homemade focaccia was very fresh and thickly sliced. The turkey was very tasty not dry. The sandwich flavors were good and not overwhelming. Kimchi was subtle. I had the Steak Sandwich (which they were nice to accommodate me & added Kimchi). Very nice flavors, not overpowering the steak. The kimchi was pleasant not spicy. I also had the tropical smoothie (which is no longer on the menu sadly). It was delicious! Definitely a repeat eating spot....... Service was A+

Enjoyed the Emerald Valley smoothie and Northwestern Green Salad. Nice place for a quick bite. Look forward to retuning.

Veggie dish (spicy! - but yummy)

Stopped by a few days ago while visiting my hometown of Eugene. I got the salmon kimchi dish and a chocolate themed smoothie. Both were excellent. The salmon dish was one of the best meals I've had in recent memory; full of flavor, fresh, and loved the combo of items. This place is like healthy fine dining with a contemporary minimalist aesthetic. Service was very friendly and sincere. I would eat here regularly if I lived nearby. Come check them out!

Wild-caught Norwegian salmon with NW beans. Delicious!

I'm very impressed with this place and the quality of their dishes. We haven't tried dining in, but since I broke my ankle and tore the other, we decided to give their take-away prepared meals a try. My husband needed help with all the household responsibilities, and boy did we fall upon a gem with these meals! I was gettting so tired of take-out, but this is levels above! It's like little gourmet, freshly-cooked meals that are flash frozen and easy to heat-up! We've tried the chicken with Mexican rice, the wild-caught salmon with NW beans, and the skirt steak. I've loved all of them. They are expertly seasoned and not over-salted, which I really appreciate. You can always add salt to your liking, but it's very difficult to unsalted a dish, if you know what I mean. The average meal costs $13.50, which is very reasonable compared to other places in town that hover around $16-20 for greasy food. It's ironic, but before my accident, we did pass by this storefront on many occasions. We weren't sure what this place was, and the decor didn't immediately call to us. However, my former boss knows the owner and vouched for his culinary skills. We are sooo glad we gave them a try! The woman who works there (Rachel) is very sweet and made ordering super easy. Please try this place if you enjoy gourmet, well-thought out, healthy cuisine. This is not your greasy spoon. You won't be disappointed.

This is one of my favorite places. The atmosphere is…read moreamazing, Lorraine (one of the owners) is wonderful at explaining what's the best drink in the house at the moment...they always support live music and have such a friendly staff...and the pizza...Wowza! The regulars are just the best folks, everyone is included. So if you are new to the area, or If you are looking for a FUN date night ( games are provided in the front room..) This is it! FYI... I live in Albany I drive the 45 minutes...just to go there! Five Stars!!!

Oregon knows beer. Oregon does beer…read more Oregon does beer really, really well. Drop Bear is tapping some outstanding local craft beer with global appeal. In an area of the world that is close to some of the best hops production, it is no surprise that they are tapping some fresh IPAs and hazys and making them really sing. Those grassy, citrusy notes always hit differently when you know the hops have been recently harvested. Myself, I generally prefer malt over hop, so I opted for a tall glass of their Ruby Roison, an Irish red. And whoa, dude, was that a sensational glass of bier! Very subtle with the hops and had those caramel-ish notes as soon as I took the first sip. My adventure buddy (and resident Duck) knocked back a Squeeze Boxx, a pronounced hazy IPA with a fabulous citrus profile and very little bitterness from the hops. Both pints did not last long, and when we paired them with a plate of Roly Poly (think pesto-y breadstick) they were perfect. Look into Drop Bear. Lots of their dishes are vegan, and their flavor profiles are phenomenal, both beer and food. There's some seating out front along Willamette, but the real winner is how much space they have inside. And check them out during their happy hour (open until 5:00) where you can get pints for a discounted price. Throw in some really knowledgeable staff, with events always posted on their socials, and you've got a pretty good spot to visit.

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!

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.
