    It’s my favorite cozy restaurant. The grilled lamb chop was excellent - the potato gratin was perfectly brûléed on top- delicious! Will be back soon.

    Great spot for brunch on the weekend. Very intimate setting. We loved our eggs and tacos but I bet everything on the menu is tasty. We’ll put this in our rotation on our trips up to the big city.

    Was taken to outside and to the back portion of the restaurant that had a less charming vibe. Seated near the door, so our table was drafty. Food was decent but we were eager to leave due to the atmosphere.

    Our party of 6 ate at The Little Owl last night. It was a super cozy space with a great menu and we felt we truly couldn’t go wrong. The night before we had spent entirely too much money on fancy Michelin star meal that was very disappointing. Our faith in the NYC food scene was restored after our meal at Little Owl. Great service, friendly atmosphere, reliably delicious food in a cute space. Highly recommend!

    I still adore this place after many years. Charming space, lovely staff and delicious food in the most authentic, unpretentious way. The owner/ chef was lovely and signed his cookbook for my friend.
