Love this restaurant! What a difference from all the chains that seem to dominate the Inland Empire. The food is great and sourced locally. The atmosphere is really beautiful and intimate, but not stuffy at all. I went last weekend and had the short ribs with winter vegetables and the carrot and roasted garlic soup. Both were amazing and, being seasonal, at the peak of flavor. Their wines are good and unusual. You won't find the same old anything here. They had live music, but it wasn't too loud, just nice background. The service was good. The prices are totally reasonable for the level of food, service and dining experience. I will definitely be going back.
This place is ran by the same owner that used to run the brown bag it next to ralphs off of riverside and mountain ave. This place is a little pricey but well worth the price. The business is a little hidden so you will have to find it
Owens American Bistro by Christina M. at InsiderPages
This bistro is hidden back on a side street. You have to look to find it. But---what a surprise. The seating is staggered as everything is cooked to order and it quite an elegant menu. It is an intimate setting with light piano entertainment on the weekends. I loved their colorful china and delicious coffee along with everything else. We look forward to returning.
Can't say enough about this little oasis. The Kelly's have relly put something special toghether here. This is the kind of place you have been looking for in the Inland Empire but in the past you've had to drive to Pasadena or LA to get your fix. You are immediatly welcomed into the patio live jazz guitar. The service is perfect. Don't expect to rush through this experience...this is the kind of meal that slowly unfolds before you. This really is for those who seek out the whole package. Chef Kelly prepares classics to perfection. No tired steaks here. We loved the Lamb with Orzo in Bleu Cheese Reduction also the Pork Tenderloin with Peruvian Blue Potato Mash melted in my mouth. The wine list is impressive and the deserts are wonderful. With all this you would expect a certain stuffiness but NO! The Kelly's welcome you like family and treat you like royalty. I can not reccomend Owen's enough. We will never again feel the need to travel miles for a dining experience that takes us far awayj!
