The Owl High-end food, low-class atmosphere. Opened in early 2012 by husband and wife team Aaron and Justi Manter, along with Joey Fazio. Modern progressive dining.

Then followed by Chef de Cuisine Joseph McCarter,

Moving forward from The Owl to The (Mechanical) Owl, our original ethos has remained unchanged. A little science here, a little craziness there. We look to the future for flavor and find inspiration in the unorthodox. Fiercely Independent. Take fine dining out of the hands of the wealthy. And now, making it mobile.

Owl Army. Long time no talk. Never say never. I've found myself opening a solo pizza operation in a little shipping container of a spot in Portland, Oregon called Sleepover Pizza. Justi and I moved here back in 2016 for a change of scenery, with no plans for a new place - but an opportunity came up, and I just took possession of the spot earlier today. We're gonna be slinging Detroit Style out of the window 5 days a week (and Brunch pies on Sunday). I'd love for y'all to follow along, and if you're in the neighborhood, please stop by. Much love and light to everyone in this new year. Hope all of you are well.

Y’all spoke, and I listened. Had a fantastic meal here with some beloved friends. Thanks so much for the recommendation, and to The Anchorage for their hospitality.

The Anchorage is an eclectic neighborhood restaurant specializing in small plates, esoteric wines and craft cocktails located in the Village of West Greenville.

Owl Army, I’m going to be in town for a few days for some family business. Where should I eat if I only go out like twice and money isn’t a concern? I’ve heard some good things about Urban Wren?

Hello!

For the couple of you still following along, Justi and I live in Portland, Oregon now. I've opened and been the exec of a few places in the last 7 years, but this is the one I'm at now. You can come see me at the Glendoveer location if you're in town. I hope all of you are well, and thanks for being a part of my journey.

xoxo - Aaron

Owls Never Say Die

I'm so psyched to tell y'all about something involving myself and a whole bunch of the creative team behind The Owl. Sorry, it doesn't involve food. For people.

John-Paul Newton - Super Server, and House Curmudgeon - Writer / Director of Photography.
Jeffrey Paul Martell - Customer and good friend - Director, Writer, and Producer.
Kirk Ingram - The Best Bartender In Greenville - Actor.
Drew Miller - Y'all probably don't know Drew, but he was always there to come through in a clutch, and work the line when someone was out - Special effects and art.
Aaron Manter - Owner/Operator of The Owl - Sound Design and Music. You probably don't know, but I play a bunch of instruments.

It's a feature length horror/creature film, and it's really happening! In Greenville SC! I am so psyched to call them my friends, and that they chose to work with me.

That said, this stuff is hard. And Expensive (oh how expensive). We would adore you forever if you checked out the page - and shower you in thanks if you liked it and passed it along.

There's so much rad stuff coming from this in the next few weeks.

Because what's the point in doing something half-assed? This needs your help. If you thought we were talented at food, you haven't seen anything yet!

We all want to bring this to you, and it's going to happen one way or the other, but we'll need your help to spread the word. The script is written. The actors are in place. SFX are being built as we speak. Blood is being shed to The Dark Ones for a good production.

xoxo

This week is my last week as a chef. I'm going to deactivate this page soon. If anyone wanted pictures, or other ephemera from here, now is the time to save them.

Had a lot of fun, and also a lot of bad times.

Good night, and good luck.
