                                          It was cute but the food was just fine, had a mushy omelet and friend had dry fish tacos. Our salad was great but that’s about it.

                                          A friend recommended Lil Owl and we thoroughly enjoyed the ambiance, service and food. The cocktails were delicious, the lasagna was tasty and the gelato was a nice way to end our dinner experience. Thank you to the friendly people who work there for making us feel welcomed.
