I travelled to Madison on business and could not convince anyone from my group to come with me (daw, really I wanted a party for 1, I needed some quality time with myself).\n\nAfter a couple of attempts at getting a vegan meal -- which sometimes people think is whatever dish someone else would eat minus the meat and dairy -- Green Owl delivered a complete, delicious dinner that didn't leave me depleted. It was the best meal I had during my trip.\n\nGreen Owl was recommended to me by a friend, and reinforced by the hotel guy who drove me over. \n\nBig honking YES to this restaurant! \n\nBeing a sometime-mostly-tryingtobe vegan, but also a dairy intolerant person, I am always delighted and overwhelmed when I can try anything and everything on the menu. \n\nI went on instinct:\nCurry melt with vegan cheese, side of kale crisps, a glass of kombucha (they rotate flavors, and it is locally made, and very very good), also packed up a vegan mango cheesecake because I never get to eat cheesecake. It was so amazing, all of it. \n\nService was great, place was clean and had little touches like the owl perched by the back window and really cool light fixtures. I felt satiated, happy, and impressed, and far happier with this meal than the expensive must-try steakhouse downtown. \n\nI highly recommend this restaurant. I give no hoot if you are wary of vegan fare, give this place a try. I will make every attempt to return on future trips to Madison.
