Thirsty Owl Saratoga

The Thirsty Owl has been a favorite however today was a horrible experience and unfortunately one that will keep me from ever returning. 2 of us arrived for lunch and were first told seating was probably not an option without a reservation. We were then offered a seat however it was prefaced with “food will be delayed!” So we sat at the bar, ordered wine and decided to order the charcuterie board, only to be told “food is no longer available to order at this time”! Kitchen is overwhelmed!! Really, it’s cold food, no cooking required! We left our remaining wine and vacated the bar. I will never return!! It is summer in Saratoga and you seem ill prepared to manage it!! Good luck with track sea...

The wines were good as usual, however the service was just the opposite. We stopped on a Tuesday afternoon with a group of 8, 6 of us being wine club members and long time customers, and felt like we were treated as cattle being processed. Very disappointed, and not at all the experience we have been accustomed to having. We typically leave with a lot of wine, but the experience was a big turn off.

Lovely atmosphere to so in for a wine tasting or dinner. The staff was winning and accommodating talking and entering we got star we wanted and killed what e we had. Cute married couple that was adorable had their weekly date night next to us and loved it so much they said there were heading this place a regular. Bowie was yummy and salad was refreshing.

Wine and ambiance were great. Service and staff were awesome. But food was very underwhelming. Charcuterie board left a lot to be desired. Spinach dip had basically no taste and was so watery. Only good food was the bang bang shrimp on special. Hard pass if in the area again.
