The Owl House is the latest occupant of this tiny restaurant and bar in the Lower Monroe/South Wedge section of Rochester near downtown.

I have been wanting to try out the Owl House for months -- and finally got there with two skeptical girlfriends. we all LOVED IT!!! we ordered three different meals and shared them so that we got to taste alot - we will def. come back here again and again.

The only complaint I have is that they charge for sides like... More
