Dining in Excelsior SpringsDine with Us at Three Owls at The Elms
Three Owls is a savory haven for modern American cuisine, with a subtle nod to the classic Midwestern steakhouse. This is a reference to the history of The Elms and the natural springs that were once accessible on the property and around town in the early 1900's. In 1893 The Elms started bottling the Regent and Soterian Ginger Ale. In 1904 the Soterian Ginger Ale won first prize at the 1904 Worlds Fair. The water was produced with a secret formula, known only to three men, that is how the three wise owls came to be. Under the familiar logo, the lady attendants would be in the pavilions and would serve visitors from 7 am to 10 pm.
