We had a lovely anniversary dinner at Owen & Ollies tonight in Dracut, MA. Owen and Ollie's is an American restuarant (with a hint of Irish) that is located on Mill St. right off of Lakeview Avenue. The restaurant is VERY modern, comfortable, and simply gorgeous... It resides in an renovated old mill and they put a lot of money into this place. I love the very high 30 to 40 feet ceilings in the main dining room and the modern fire place. I love the Boston sports flags that are hanging in the bar area (visible from the dining room). The booth we sat in was tall so private conversation can be made and it is not all that noisy here either. The bar / lounge area is in the next room.
My wife was able to get her favorite Magner's Irish Cider for a beverage while I had an local Ollie and Owen brew (which is like an Amber boch). Both very good.
I had a 1/2 pound of steak tips which came with two sides. I had a fresh green side salad, and a vegetable medely rice. The steak tips were very good and the rice was a very nice compliment to the tips!
My wife had the turkey dinner which included stuffing, cranberry sauce and two sides (she chose mashed potato and a side caesar salad).
On a different visit I also had the Chicken, Broccoli and Four Cheese Pasta dish and was pleasantly surprised after being disappointed at many places including Bertuccis and Olive Garden. Very flavorful. I still love Cafe Luigi's version in Bedford, MA better though.
The service tonight from Sean was out of this world! He was very friendly, personable, and hard working. It was also nice to see our oldest daughter's friend. This is a nice local place.
There menu has been EXPANDED so they offer a lot of choices.
I also like that they give you the option for only having 1/2 the meal on many of their entrees. This helps out if you are trying to watching your waistline along with your wallet. We had appetizer, two entrees, a few drinks, and a desert and the bill was just over $50. So overall it was an excellent value.
A new favorite of ours that is just minutes away!
