Thirsty Owl Saratoga

I’m a local and love stopping by the Thirsty Owl as much as I can! Good food, good wine, great service, awesome vibes. They have excellent gluten free options — love their gluten free flatbread! I also had my baby shower here and it was a great experience. Highly recommend!

Such a sad experience. This restaurant was chosen because 2 of our party are gluten free and they have many options. Unfortunately, after waiting well over an hour and seeing the same entrees we ordered go to several tables that were seated and ordered after us, our waiter told us he didn’t know why our order kept getting pushed back, but now they had run out of the sides that went with our halibut. The manager then told us it was because one of our party special ordered the seafood mac & cheese gluten free (even though their menu notes this is available). When we pushed on this, the manager said that if we didn’t like it and didn’t what substitute sides, we could leave, and that is exactly what we did. This was a birthday celebration for my wife that was ruined by this poor restaurant. I would never recommend this place to anyone. I will say though, that the young waiter, who shared he only had a month of experience, was friendly and tried hard.
