   We had a great dining experience overall. The ambiance is cozy despite being a large open space. Our level of service was top notch…friendly, attentive, clearing dishes/glasses promptly. The menu is extensive! We ordered a variety of food and it was all good. Prices are inline with other restaurants, about $20 for a casual entree. The cocktails were delicious and well crafted with fresh ingredients. We will go back!

   We had dinner with a group of 4 adults and 3 children (ages 8, 7, 5). The service was top notch, the food was excellent, and they were very good/tolerant with our kids who were drawn to the stage and wanted to dance to Christmas music. The music started getting too loud to talk around 7:30/7:45 as they prepared for karaoke but that's to be expected. We have frequented the location in New Baltimore and we always say they do both tacos and sushi well - and it seems to be the case at the Royal Oak location. I do wish the kids' chicken tenders were a bit higher quality (my daughter's one complaint), but that's minor. The menu is almost overwhelming with choices - but you really can't go wrong.

   Alex S was the best server we’ve ever had anywhere. She was on top of everything!

   Food and service were fine. The draw is live music. I heard a nice jazzy set from Tres Suite (I may not have that name exactly.)

   I recently dined at Blind Owl on a busy Saturday night, and unfortunately, the experience left much to be desired. While the food was passable—nothing exceptional but not terrible—the drinks were disappointingly watered down, lacking any real flavor or kick. The noise level was overwhelming, making it difficult to hold a conversation without shouting. I understand Saturdays can be busy, but the service was also painfully slow. It took 20 min to get water and at one point our waiter disappeared for about 30 minutes. It was frustrating because it made us late for plans we had after dinner. While I acknowledge the challenge of managing a weekend crowd, the combination of mediocre food, subpar drinks, and lackluster service means I’m unlikely to return anytime soon.
