Blind Owl Restaurant & Bar

In had 16 of us for dinner on a Saturday night. While there were some very minor issues getting outage ready on time the overall experience was an astounding YES! We were greeted with warmth and courtesy. The ambiance was amazing and then my meal was fabulous! No joke. Best chicken tortilla soup I've ever had! The shrimp and pork tacos were extremely delicious tasty also. Thanks to Nicholas the owner/manager for the warm welcome and attention! We will be back !

This is the Morrie, which closed. Very small private lot, nearby pay street and garage parking. Inside they made the Morrie look more like a club. The new menu centers on Japanese/sushi and Mexican, but the house specials are alfredo and french dip. The food is a little pricey.The bar menu is pricey and the tap list is small. The cocktails are all premixes, but priced as handmade. Service was okay. Not a huge fan. There are better options in Royal Oak and Ferndale.

We recently visited Blind Owl to celebrate a birthday with a party of 12. The food was excellent, and the waitress was incredibly friendly and attentive--truly the highlight of the night. The ambiance was nice as well, though the country music playing that evening wasn't really our style.Unfortunately, there was a mix-up with our reservation, which caused some inconvenience for our group. Despite this, the manager didn't offer any kind of gesture to make up for the mistake, which left a bit of a sour note on the experience.Overall, good food and service, but the handling of the reservation issue could have been much better.

It was. so. loud. The food was good. I saw the owner/manager walking around checking on tables but my god, the music made my head hurt. Also, a friend had made a reservation through the host stand and was told it would be an hour. We camped out at buffalo wild wings first because it was so crowded. But as the google reservation list kept refreshing the waiting list stopped appearing and apparently our reservation was lost. I had checked in with google and got us within 15 minutes because they still wouldn't seat my friend. The band was loud but the food was good. It was a mixed experience for me. I will visit again when there isn't live entertainment. Or- maybe if they fix up the sound system so you can actually think and eat let along catch up with your friends.

Hip new place in Royal oak with great food and live music. The place is well lit and decorated with cool murals. Expect to be sat at communal high tops even with a reservation. Food is a bit pricey but definitely flavorful and delicious. Tons of great food and cocktail options. I loved the halloumi taco with rice and beans. I heard the shawarma nachos were incredible. We enjoyed the live music and the service was quick even with the restaurant packed.

I came here with a group of friends for happy hour. The ambiance was very nice. The had $4 off drinks and appetizer's. The service was just ok. There were a couple of mix up's but the waitress corrected it. When it was time to leave they were setting up for a live band. It was around 8pm. I'd definitely go back to check out the live music. All the food was really good. Great sushi and tacos

We came here on a whim and was told it was 50% ladies night - which we were super excited about. We got our bill for a couple drinks each and shared apps. - it was $300. They should explain that 50% only means the wine and certain cocktails. Other than that, the food was amazing. Cocktails were delicious and the staff were super sweet! I usually get a dirty martini with blue cheese olives, they were out - but the bartender (Aaron) handmade me some and brought them to the table! The atmosphere was similar to a sports bar with live music and TVs everywhere. The place looked clean and well organized. I would visit again and plan on trying more off the menu!

Very friendly staff, Paige was very engaging. Helpful with our MANY choices on the menu. Definitely a place with tons of choices. I ended up getting the Monte Cristo, it was a very interesting take on the sandwich. That isn't a bad thing, it was actually very easy to eat and much more compact than I have had it other places. If you like Monte cristo's I definitely suggest that you try this. Comfortable for groups or just a fast lunch. Food was tasty. If I have any issues at all it would be the lack of parking. (It's a Royal Oak thing). They did have a lot next to the building but they turned it into a patio instead, but I can understand why. It would be very hard to monitor a free parking lot.

Came here with a group of friends last Sunday and we enjoyed our food, drinks, and service. We had a variety of food: Cajun dry rub wings, fiesta bowl, lamb Birria tacos, and sushi. We enjoyed everything! Even the fried cheesecake was delicious.

Great food, great service, and great atmosphere! Came once on a Sunday during brunch. Ended up getting lunch food, but people seemed to be loving the brunch menu. Also visited a separate time on a Friday night and the band and drinks were absolutely fantastic!
