I dined here three days in a row (3 dinners and one breakfast) during my stay at the UNC Marriott and left impressed each time. Visiting from NYC and being a frequent traveller, Im used to a high restaurant barand Golden Owl Tavern easily held its own. Easily one of the best steaks Ive had. Even when the dining room wasnt busy, the food came out fresh, hot, and well-seasoned, with timing that never felt rushed or slow. Service was friendly, professional, and attentive in a low-key way, and the consistency across multiple visits really stood out. A genuinely pleasant surprise for a hotel restaurant.

Huge shout-out to Marcus at the Marriott bar! Great drinks and even better personality. The hotel actually lost power during my visit, and Marcus handled the situation like a complete professional, keeping the vibes high and a smile on his face the whole time. Truly exceptional service! The Deviled Eggs were Cool

Server was great! Amazing attitude. Extremely helpful and makes great whiskey drinks. Spicy shrimp tacos - Not my cup of tea. Tasted fishy, shell was super soft like it was old. Extremely drippy like it was loaded with oil. Didnt like much. Pasta - Great flavor. Just needed to be hotter temperature wise. Hot Spicy Chicken Sandwich - Oily, bread was way too moist from the chow chow which made the sandwich last enjoyable. The chicken wasnt made properly. The presentation of the food was great. Wings (Buffalo) - Freshly made. Decent.

Was looking for somewhere close to the pnc pavilion and discovered this amazing place. We sat at the bar and Nikki and Q took care of us. The drinks were amazing. I got the drink with the empress gin. My friend got a dirty martini and an espresso martini. Shes very picky about these 2 drinks and she told everyone to get them. We ordered a few small plates. The Brussels were phenomenal. The spinach dip was some of the best Ive ever tasted. We also shared the prime rib French dip. All I can say is holy cow that might be one of the best things Ive ever had. This sandwich made me happy. Planning on taking another trip to Charlotte soon so I can come eat here again. I didnt take pictures when we got our food because I dont usually take pictures of my food. Here is after we had eaten most of it

I like the restaurant. The atmosphere was nice and the menu has good selections to choose from. I ordered their small plate of deviled eggs, which were really good, and steak for an entree. I told the waiter that I like my steak well done, extremely well done. Steak comes back red inside. Told the waiter and he took it back to be put back on the grill. He brings it back and its still red. This time I didnt say anything, I just ate from my husbands plate and asked for a box. Guess Ill cook it myself. The waiter saw that my steak was still red but I guess he didn't care. Very disappointing to spend money on food and not enjoy it.
