Golden Owl Tavern

If you need a private dining event space, Ryan and the team at the Golden Owl are amazing! We hosted a family baby shower "linner" (lunch+dinner) for 14 people and the team was so gracious, helpful and pleasant! We had plenty of space if we needed it. The group menu has something for everyone and it is all delicious, everyone loved their meal. There is a TV in the room of you need to show a presentation or slide slow, there is a buffet that can double as a gift table/cake table. In all, this is a great place for a small gathering, you will love it!

I LIVE for a yummy salad! This one was so well balanced, not overly sauced and filled with fresh ingredients.

What a beautiful place! Had a girls night out here and it was just the right ambience. Wasn't loud so could hear our convos, food was delish and service amazing. We opted to get a few apps to share and we tried the meatballs, spinach dip, and corn dip. All were soooooo good! Highly recommend! When weather is better there is a gorgeous patio to sit on.

Was enjoying the wings and eggs in my room. Eventually felt sick and ended up in the bathroom a couple of times. Not sure which dish caused it.

I thought the food here was pretty darn good! I ordered a few things during my stay. Corn bread was a must try, and it did not disappoint. The chicken wings were not bad as well. I sat down for one dinner here and did the braised short rib with mash potatoes substitute. It was so good! Finally ended with the seasonal crème brûlée. The server Savana was wonderful and attentive. The place itself was a nice area to hang out by the bar or dine in. All around not bad. A little over priced is all !

I have been here a couple of times and I will say the staff has been great every time. The food for the most part is good. This particular visit the pork was super salty and I ended up switching it out for the shrimp and grits. The shrimp and grits was good but i was disappointed because I was looking forward to that pork chop. The restaurant has a lovely vibe and being located in the hotel right off a light rail stop.

This is a place inside a Marriott hotel. We were on a business trip and stayed in this hotel. Just wanted to try this place out for breakfast.The settings here is really nice and cozy. There were not many people and the place was quiet.I ordered the avocado toast, which turned out really well done. The bread was so soft and a little crispy. The entree is just the right size for me.My friend ordered the steel cut oatmeal and a yogurt. Also very good and more than enough. (The oatmeal is in a pretty big bowl!)Overall, a really good place for a quiet and quick breakfast.

This place is a Vibe...every Wednesday they have a guitarist come in and place and sing. You can valet park for free or park across the street in the parking garage near the light rail. The cocktails are really good. We had the deviled eggs with Nashville hot chicken bites on top. Also the fried green tomatoes which were under cooked and lacked seasoning. I highly recommend the bison meat loaf, as it was so yummy

Nice restaurant inside the Marriott. It's spacious and modern, but I don't care for how long the tables are as it can get hard to hear the other person across the table. It's also pretty dark inside.None of the appetizers were calling me, and decided on ordering the Carolina Hot Chicken Sandwich with rosemary fries. The chicken sandwich was good, not spicy at all. The fries were very tasty. Never had chow chow salad before and it was quite refreshing. My friend ordered the shrimp and grits, and I was glad I did not order it as planned. It was soupy and not your typical shrimp and grits though it had good flavor when I tried it. He had to ask for a spoon to eat this dish!I do wish they had more options for sparkling wine, and ordered a glass of rose which was fine.Talked with our waitress and she was very blunt and said their desserts weren't very good and recommended the brie cheesecake. Was not a fan of this dish. Red wine soaked pears, brie cheese, and the balsamic vinegar...it was all too pungent and too many strong flavors all at once.I would recommend training the staff a little better as she could not even tell me what chow chow salad was and had to try it herself!

Great brunch spot. Make reservations in advance to simplify things. 11am was the perfect time on a Sunday as we were headed to Belk Theatre for an afternoon matinee. Spacious seating and dining room is next to the bar. Our waitress Hailey was very attentive. Flat soda was immediately taken care of. Plan to visit again soon. They have booth and table seating. We took a window seat to enjoy the view and the meal
