    The Little Owl was not what I expected given the 30 day ahead reservation. It was close to our theater but extremely cramped with people practically right on top of each other. I guess that’s what theater dining is??Food and service were good, but very noisy atmosphere. My eggplant was lukewarm - could have been hotter. Also, no liquor- just wine and beer.

    The little owl is a true neighborhood gem. It's super small and cozy. The brunch menu was varied, something for everyone. Fun cocktails. The true stand out was the staff. So friendly, so accommodating. They let us stay as long as we wanted to well after service had ended as we finished a bottle of wine. You can tell they enjoy working there and with each other. We had a fabulous experience and will definitely be back.
