First time there, and will definitely be back! We were lucky enough they were able to squeeze us in for brunch even though we didn’t have a reservation. The restaurant is cozy and beautiful. Vegan and gf brunches are hard to come by and they were fantastic even the gluten free toast was delicious. They even had gf and vegan desserts! I had the chocolate coconut layered cake which will melt in your mouth! Definitely will be back sooner rather than later �
Seriously some of the best vegan food I've tried. Our party consisted of two vegetarians, a vegan, and a meat eater and we all loved our meals. I ate the buffalo tempeh sandwich and took half to go, ate it 6 hours later during the drive back to Long Island and it was just as good, if not more.
We arrived exactly at 11:30AM when they opened and were sat immediately, although it seems that it gets busy pretty quick so I recommend a reservation if coming later in the day. Service was awesome and everyone was extremely friendly!
Excellent food, great plating and atmosphere.
The food is perfectly tuned, a balance of different ingredients, flavors, and texture.
The steak was perfect, an ordinary lean sirloin cut transformed into another level. Use of sweet potatoes grants sweetness, richness, and softness to the steak. The cherry sauce and the mustard seed complimented by tanginess. Extra smoky flavor by the charred brussel sprouts.
Other dishes are not anywhere lacking detail as well.
The Owl House was a hoot! I was in search of a vegan restaurant to celebrate a family birthday. I loved this place. I loved that there were vegan and non vegan choices. All of the food has great flavor. The mocktails were fun and delicious. I left full and I will be returning. Reservations are recommended.
Stumbled across this quaint restaurant on accident. But I am very glad my partner and I did. Firstly, the concept of having the restaurant in a house had me. And the aesthetics in the backyard made it all the more worth it. Alley (spelling?) was great and a pleasurable host. Very charismatic. The energy of the entire staff was everything! The costs was fairly reasonable for the market we’re in today.
Most importantly the food was tasteful. We had two specials which were great: (1) strawberry salad which was tasteful but not mind blowing and (2) beet ginger juice mix. Would suggest at least tossing the salad prior to serving. In addition to the Tofu n Waffles and the Tofu Breakfast Sandwich. The make-up of the tofu scramble in the sandwich was cooked/seasoned well. The potatoes served with the sandwich were also tasteful.
When I return to Rochester, The Owl House is now on my radar.
Cozy little restaurant with incredible quality and taste! Lots of vegan options. I ordered a Tofu Sandwich which was served in 10 minutes. It was extremely filling. It could be a little noisy since the tables are nearby. Definitely recommended!
We went to The Owl House a week ago for dinner and were seated upstairs. After a few minutes of waiting we asked to sit at the bar and that is where we met Andy. He is AMAZING! He welcomed us, gave recommendations, and made us the tastiest cocktails. He turned our night around and because our experience was so great with him we went back the next week for brunch. The food is on point and the drinks are out of this world. Thanks Andy! 😊

Went to this place with no expectations and it was an amazing surprise. Besides the charming environment, the food was delicious. My husband got the Cacio e Pepe pasta with chicken and I got the Sirloin with rosemary fries. Both really good. The pasta was absolutely amazing.
What an amazing dinner with this new Fall menu! Crispy polenta cakes with harissa jam, absolutely amazing! Baked brie was a perfect combination of flavors. The fennel and quinoa salad was a perfect refreshing fall meal. The special for the day was chicken and dumplings which was fabulous and I had no idea it was GF! We had a wonderful server named Kate (apologies for any misspelling) who was knowledgable and super friendly. The bartender even made me a random cocktail which was amazing. The head chef here is definitely doing something right, absolutely phenomenal fall menu!
Grabbed Brunch here with a friend! If you’re looking for a great brunch option with vegan, vegetarian, and/or dairy-free options, owl house is it!
Great vibe inside, our server was very nice and helpful! It’s a little small but in a cozy kind of way.
For food, I had the tofu breakfast sandwich and my friend had the chicken and waffles. Both tasted amazing, and they truly give you your money’s worth with the portions, I was brought out more potatoes than what is pictured and I was low-key shocked lol.
Overall, great place to grab a great meal.
Food is delicious, it can be a bit crowded but the servers are all very nice and helpful.
Lots of yummy vegan, gluten-free, and vegetarian options.
I had the gluten-free chicken and waffles. Best gluten-free fried chicken I've ever had, and the waffle was delicious and service with spiced apples, cranberries, and real maple syrup (I don't like the fake stuff).
Of our party of 6, with 2 children, everybody loved their meals.
I only gave 4 stars for atmosphere because it was pretty loud. Business owners, please consider installing some sound absorbent material.
