    Did not realize when I made this reservation that there was an ‘annex’ to the restaurant down the street. Perfectly fine space but not the experience I expected walking by the original building many times before. Not as quaint. A little disappointing to be honest. And the schilling for their own promoted items really cheapened the experience-buy a branded mug or cookbook listed on the menu? Come on. You use to be better than that.

    The Little Owl gives guests a warm and wonderful guest experience from greeting to goodbye, and the hearty American cooking is comfort food at a higher level. From mussels with a delightfully piquant red sauce (or white, if you prefer) to the chef’s nonna’s pasta, fresh fish compositions to chops, new-fangled brownies and fresh fruit crisps á la mode to beignets, and great wine and beer selections (no liquor, but you won’t miss it), The Little Owl is a NYC West Village staple everyone should experience.

    Little Owl is one of my favorite NYC restaurants. The service is friendly and attentive, and the ambiance is special. Usually the food is terrific and great value. This meal was pretty ordinary, and the final bill was also pretty outrageous for what we ordered. I may not return for brunch.
    Little OwlResponded 7 days ago
    Thank you for your honest feedback, David. We truly appreciate your kind words about our service and ambiance. We’re disappointed to hear that your most recent meal didn’t meet your expectations.

We hope you’ll give us another chance in the future, and we’d love to make your next visit a memorable one. 🦉✨
