Wall Murals at the Blind Owl in Royal Oak

Our Biz X magazine Belle Vivantes, were recently invited to an exclusive dining experience for media professionals and influencers by Sari M Cicurel, at The Blind Owl Restaraunt & Bar.

This is their second location which opened in mid October 2024 at 511 S. Main Street in Royal Oak, Michigan. The first Blind Owl is located at 36310 Main St. in New Baltimore.

We thoroughly enjoyed the tasting adventure as they showcased an array of innovative dishes.

The food is described as Latin-American inspired, an interesting combination of “Gourmet Pub Fare” with unique combinations sure to surprise and please any palate.

Signature cocktails were served with each featured dish, such as the “Easier Thymes”, the Fresh Espresso Martini and our favorite the “Cherrylicious” (Zim’s Vodka, pineapple and cranberry, Traverse City cherry puree, and a lime sugared rim.

The wine list, bourbon and whiskey list and tequila and vodka list are extensive. They also have an interesting non-alcohol selection of mocktails.

The feast was never-ending and a surprising favourite was the “Crispy Brussels” (who knew they could taste so good) served with chipotle agave glaze crispy bacon and feta. Most guests also enjoyed the “Boom Shakalaka” Cheeseburger with Gruyere and Fontina Cheese, crispy peppered bacon, Worchestershire aioli on a Brioche bun.

It was a pleasure to meet so many interesting radio, television, magazine professionals and celebrities and witness the passion and joy that our host and owner Nicholas Andreasson displayed as he described each course with pride and enthusiasm. Some of us stayed enjoy the colourful décor, great vibe and to bond over drinks long after the event.

We look forward to coming back to the Blind Owl and bringing some friends to watch the bands and enjoy a few cocktails, sushi and the “Monte Cristo” a twist on the classic sandwich batter dipped fried honey wheat bread, ham, Havarti and sharp cheddar cheese, roasted turkey and the cincher raspberry preserves for dipping.

Cheers to the Beautiful Life!
